Translation notes/extra context:
Again - the chicken theme: Afterparty = jatkot, kot kot = chicken noises. Continues with 'please lay that afterparty' = lay as in lay eggs (edit: it can also mean 'to give birth' and so on)
'I don't want to slow dance' + Celine Dion refer to the custom in Finnish bars and nightclubs, they usually play some slow song/ballad as a last song at 3:30am. That's the time when they flash the lights on as a sign that the place is closing soon (the last call) and it's time to go home. (K is probably referring to My Heart Will Go On as the song but that's only my guess)
'How hard can it be to take that task?' - he's still expecting somebody to arrange the afterparty for him, this one was a bit tricky to translate accurately

- Those 90s-sounding drum n bass samples
- Kot kot kot kot kot kot kot kot

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1
The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.
So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.
So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.
Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.
And the probe is working again.
From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

Remember this joke?
Well, I am going to do something similar only with photography. This is a photo someone took for an Amazon review of their Clinique products.
Honestly, it is not a terrible photo. They did some staging. They have an interesting background. All of the labels are legible. It is properly exposed. This would be a perfectly acceptable product photo for an Etsy page.
I've been taking these advanced photography courses in preparation for whenever I am able to create a new studio in the house. And my teacher is a photography badass. I just watched a 6 hour class on how to recreate a professional Clinique ad. And at first glance it looks deceptively simple. It's just some skin care products being splashed with a little water.
Which is why I wanted you to see an average person for reference.
This is what Karl Taylor came up with.
And I don't think I've learned so much about photography in one tutorial before.
Product photography is just loads and loads of problem solving. You have to light the chrome caps with a gradient. Which requires giant diffusion scrims.
Those big white panels are literally only there for the two chrome caps.
You need a pure white background, but you can't let light spill all over the studio, so you put up giant black light blockers.
And you have to add another light just for the orange bottle on the right.
Oh, and if you want the bottles to glow, well, you have to hide a silver reflector behind them.
But you still want the edges of the bottles to be darker so they have some contrast. So you add some black tape to the sides.
And in order for the reflective labels to have bold black lettering, you have to reflect black cards into them.
Ack! Karl's beautiful bald head is showing up in the chrome caps! He must put on the naughty blanket.
And once you get every aspect of every bottle perfectly lit, you finally get to yeet some water at it all.
I don't love product photography because I have a weird obsession to help greedy corporations make their wares look more beautiful. I love it because it is a complicated and challenging new puzzle every time. Every product is a different shape and requires a different technique to make it look its best.
I don't know if I will be able to live up to Karl's standards.
This is about the level I was at in 2017 before I quit photography.
I have so much more knowledge in my brain now. I'm really hoping I can surpass that.

some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.

Rebageling this first thing in the morning because I'm just eepy and want to go back to bed
reblog if you enjoy napping, being cozy, being conked out, snoozing, wrapping up in blankets, sipping a hot drink, catching some z's, hugging a plushie, or otherwise relaxing and resting

Kot Kot lyrics + English translation
Mayday
Hukun tähän kuplivaan
Muut meni minä jäin kuppilaan
Täällä mä oon
Mä ja Celine Dion
Fiksut on lähteny nukkumaan
Mut on tuomittu juhlimaan
Täällä mä oon
En haluu tanssia hitait haluun jatkot-kot-kot
Pliis munikaa ne jatkot-kot-kot
Missä hitos mun ukot-kot-kot
Rupee pot-pot-potuttaa
Pelottaa ettei jatkopläänit ehkä osukaa
Kuumottaa tosissaan, osoite ois saatava
Ku poket tos jo hoputtaa
Siis vastatkaa ny, saatana!
(Numeroon ei juuri nyt saada yhteyttä)
Perhana! Miten nii ei tänäänkää oo kellää aikaa hengata
Pilkku lyö ku liekit vasten yksinäisen kasvoja
Tää klubi on yht tyhjä ku sen katsoja
Mayday
Hukun tähän kuplivaan
Muut meni minä jäin kuppilaan
Täällä mä oon
Mä ja Celine Dion
Fiksut on lähteny nukkumaan
Mut on tuomittu juhlimaan
Täällä mä oon
En haluu tanssia hitait haluun jatkot-kot-kot
Pliis munikaa ne jatkot-kot-kot
Missä hitos mun ukot-kot-kot
En haluu ko-ko-kotiin
Kuinka siit on niin vaikee ottaa koppii
Ne nokkii, naputtaa
Sanoo ala laputtaan ja koittaa ulos taluttaa
Taas tartun kapulaan
(The number you have dialed cannot be reached)
Perhana! Koton ei oo ketään eikä ketään kelle tekstata
Pilkku lyö ku liekit vasten yksinäisen kasvoja
Tää klubi on yht tyhjä ku sen katsoja
Mayday
Hukun tähän kuplivaan

English:
Mayday
I'm drowning in this sparkling
The others are gone I stayed in this bar
Here I am
Me and Celine Dion
Smart ones have left to sleep
I'm doomed to party
Here I am
I don't want to slow dance I want the afterparty
Please lay that afterparty
Where the hell are my dudes
I'm getting pissed off
Scared that the afterparty plans won't work out
Truly anxious, need to get an address
As the bouncers are rushing me
So pick up now, saatana!
(The number cannot be reached right now)
Perhana! How come nobody has time to hangout today either
The last call hits like flames against the lonely one's face
This club is as empty as its viewer
Mayday
I'm drowning in this sparkling
The others are gone I stayed in this bar
Here I am
Me and Celine Dion
Smart ones have left to sleep
I'm doomed to party
Here I am
I don't want to slow dance I want the afterparty
Please lay that afterparty
Where the hell are my dudes
I don't want to go home
How hard can it be to take that task?
They're pecking, knocking
Saying get away from here and try to lead me out
I grab the phone again
(The number you have dialed cannot be reached)
Perhana! At home there's nobody and there's nobody to text to
The last call hits like flames against the lonely one's face
This club is as empty as its viewer
Mayday
I'm drowning in this sparkling
The others are gone I stayed in this bar
