If you were on a video call with me, you must've seen the prints hanging behind me. My colleagues often ask about them.
Hanging to my left is a signed print by David Reeb of his 2021 painting, titled Two Emperors (Hadrianus & Vespasian).
Mr. Reeb had the following to say about this painting when interviewed for Tohu Magazine in 2021:
Take here those portraits […] the “tyrant” emperors who are another model of politicians. To me, they and Putin represent something similar, they represent authority, a splendor that is inherently ridiculous.
On the wall to my right hangs a reproduction of a genuine U.S. Navy recruitment poster from 1944, captioned Learn To Operate a $7,000,000 Sub.
If someone asks about it, I joke it is an ad for Kubernetes (iykyk).
