If listicles are good enough for Euclid and Ludwig von Wittgenstein, they're good enough for me

Ok. Just finished writing https://resbazsql.github.io/capstone-novice-spreadsheet-biblio/01-intro/index.html. Can I ask a favour (lots of them this weekend) and ask for people to read it over for obvious places I've missed? I've been writing for the last 5 hours.

This is my friend's cat Angel. She is 20 years old today. Boost this toot to wish her a happy birthday! #mastocats

The other afternoon I saw a dragon in the sky at sunset, but only had my phone with me to catch it.

Anyone who thinks neoliberals are reliable allies to marginalised groups are drinking the party kool-aid.

Hey FYI if you‘re running the 500px archiving stuff, it‘s paused for a moment since somebody found essentially a list of CC images, which will speed things up a lot. You need to do nothing, just wait.

Information may want to be free, but coders need to not starve, and not have to work 80 hrs/week, live in a closet in parent's house at age 37.

When we can print pizza out of Universal Constructors for free, ubiquitous self-owning construction mechs build houses and water systems for free, you can get insulin, quadruple bypasses by medbots free, and self-driving cars & self-flying planes freely shuttle you around, then everything can be free. Until then, we need to pay people for their work.

So remember how I said I wasn't going to show up for their ridiculous speeches?

The march was supposed to start at 12:30, which is when we got there. By 1PM the DSA said fuck it and started marching and we and thousands of us went to actually march.

The official march never happened. They let so many people give ridiculous speeches that they went over time and never did the important part of showing up to ICE.

I'm tired of saying I told you so about these things.
