Is today the day I quit the Zuckerberg doomscrolling machine? Maybe, since apparently it no longer likes my login. Is any social media worth it these days? Who knows? :theshadow:
Watching #Fallout S2E6, thinking how the Scientist could sooo much be like The Cheese Man from #Buffy!
Closeup photo of a black cat yawning at you. The cat is sitting down, facing you, on top of a white and green couch. The cat is looking right at you, whiskers akimbo, yawning widely with a big pink tounge. Not easily visible are all the missing teeth, taken out by the shelter vet after a previous owner neglected to provide kitty dental care. The cat is in a wonderful forever home now!
Fingers crossed your new cat vet stays good! 😍 We've been lucky - there's a cat-only practice here.
😺 Cat lovers: your cats need dental care! 🪥 Enzymatic toothpaste and crunchy dental food really do help, and yes, pay for kitty dental cleaning (if they still have teeth).
Maeve yawns!
Was just about to say "But isn't belt color functional?!?"
Hey #TechLaw, #SoftwareLicensing skies: what do y'all think of #Multiboard's new 'Community Promise'? Actually enforceable or no? Closer or further from "open" in terms of licensing?

Wait - is there a "cuteness" manual for what an Ordinary Observer would think?!? 😸
As noted elsethread, it totally depends on the doggo (or cat, if you can find one that would deign to wear it) cuteness factor.

Photograph of two Siamese cats sleeping together. The one on the right is darker colored and larger; curled with head and feet pointing to the left. The lighter one on the left is curled the opposite way, with their head on top of the other's dark feet, and their back foot on top of the dark one's head, right by it's ear.
WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU, I"VE GOT A PAW IN MY EAR.

Cat photograph. A lilac point Siamese cat is sleeping stretched out on a tan carpeted cat bed. The cat is facing you with it's eyes closed and a smile. They are stretched out with legs off to the left of photo, and the tail is lazily curled off to the right of the photo. The cat's name was Pálinka.
Reclaim the internet for it's original purpose: #cats

How much is your company spending to support the Python Software Foundation?
For comparison, how much do they spend for tips on expensed meals?
The PSF runs PyPI, where pip installs from. You depend on PyPI.

FOIA released government documents are too boring for ya? Then watch Deutchland 83, an amazingly detailed and engaging story of NATO's Able Archer 83 - but from the East German side, through the eyes of a disillusioned spy.
Then go read the real FOIA record!

We were just describing how The Witcher seasons 2/3 how Dandelion really shines, both dramatically and comedically, and then comparing him to Autolycus, King of Thieves as a great sidekick.
Cartoon image from the book The Cat In The Hat: on a blue background, there's a black outline of a smiling mischevous cat, wearing a red bow-tie and the epynonimous white-and-red striped top hat.
#DrSeuss was such an interesting wit. I never actually considered until today that the Cat never actually gets In The Hat - which is the more obvious meaning of the words. Brilliant.

We all use #OpenSource software every day.
There's #FairSource and #EthicalSource licenses - open source with sensible restrictions for specific use cases.
🪦 But what about Estate Source? #License your code openly forever, even after you're gone! ⚰️

My grandfather volunteered to fight the original N*zis at Bastogne, and lost a wrist and a small part of his soul in combat, fighting to protect truth and freedom.
Please, let's not have to do that again. 😢

If I’m not how you hoped
And I’m not how you hoped
Forgive my Northern attitude
Oh, I was raised out in the cold
If the sun don’t rise
Till the summertime
Forgive my Northern attitude
Oh, I was raised on little light
Thanks for telling our story, Noah.
Photo of Corey Quinn’s shiny sticker with a negative COVID test. Duck approved.
Forgot to post my daily COVID test for #Monktoberfest! Yay for events everyone can feel safe at, plus shiny stickers. 😮
“You have the agency to decide how you treat other people you interact with.”
And doing so thoughtfully, with kindness, and respect - which has always been a key message from #Monktoberfest 💗

Feels very applicable to neuroscience, and to many ways we measure technical and organizational structures as well. #Monktoberfest always helps you think in new ways.
Good Morning #Monktoberfest here in lovely and peaceful #PortlandME! 🦞 Today’s Hawaiian shirt in front of the local iconic statue.

Can confirm; the Chief Duckinator 😮 uttered these very words in public. Always nice when family still takes you in on your travels to #Monktoberfest.
