And I think it could be code or instructions, maybe. Along with an obscene gesture for "someone".

With apologies to the Stones:

Under my thumb
The squirmin' dog who's just had his day
Under my thumb
A casino sharpie who has just kept his ways

It's down to me, yes it is
The way he does just what he's told
Down to me, the change has come
He's under my thumb
Ah, ah, say it's alright

I think it means something close to No or Get Lost.

The text below the picture is kind of inexplicable. "free cheese is in the mousetrap"? category of "G G G"???

I subscribe to this guy's tweets only because he is an obsessed Microsoft-affiliated developer type who releases .iso files that I use sometimes. He just happens to be Russian. His tweets are the only reason I ever feel the need to know Russian lol

The first Russian part at the very top might have some bearing but I dunno, don't speak Russian and too lazy to laboriously translate, can't copy and paste it.
