For folk that are not in the path of Totality (or under cloud cover, or are stuck inside, or...), friendly reminder that NASA is doing a live view party:

Last time, the stream was really good, and I expect it'll be better this time around.

(Plus, you won't burn your retinas out.)

4 photos I shot during the totality of the eclipse. Red spots around the edges are solar prominences. These images were shot within 1 minute. The bright spot near the bottom grows into a full arch with a visible hollow by the last picture.

Grace Linn’s husband was killed while fighting nazis in WWII. She’s a centenarian who has witnessed the rise of fascism first hand.

Recently she took on a school board in Florida against their book bans. She made a quilt in protest and reminded people where book bans lead:

“Banning books and burning books are the same. Both are done for the same reason: fear of knowledge.”

We thought we knew how Voyager would end. The power would gradually, inevitably, run down. The instruments would shut off, one by one. The signal would get fainter. Eventually either the last instrument would fail for lack of power, or the signal would be lost.

We didn’t expect that it would go mad.

You have murdered someone.

You're confident in the way you covered your tracks. They'll never catch me, you think, as you wait to meet the homicide detective in charge of the investigation.

Who would make you rethink that confidence? In other words, who would make you hold out your wrists and say, "I give up, arrest me," the second they walked into the room to question you?

Please boost for a wider audience. 😎

Another article mentioning how hard it is to find out what streaming service something's on. Am I the only one who uses JustWatch?

Me and Escher drove to the ocean
but all we saw was shore
Went to the Mobius strip club
could not find the door
So Escher threw a tantrum
and in a fit of rage
threw me up and down the stairs
and lost me in a maze
but I suspect that madness
was nothing but a phase
give it time we'll circle back
and wake up in a daze

Are you mad about the decline of independent journalism (e.g. Pitchfork!)?!

Mass layoffs at newspapers and magazines?

The disappearance of good, fun and sane things to read??

So are we: 60 writers and artists who've formed a cooperative to bring you FLAMING HYDRA, debuting shortly, $3/month subscription, help us get this thing off the ground!

I lost touch with many of my #mutualaid #diabetic friends when I left the bad site, so please boost for me.

My wife’s Opa passed away this week, leaving behind ~7 vials of #Humalog #insulin and a number of #Dexcom #G7 #CGM sensors (non-pump compatible). Everything is paid for and we don’t want it all to go to waste.

If you or someone you know could really use this stuff, please contact me at:

FreeBSD Release Engineer Emeritus Glen Barber has had a rough few years.

He managed the last several major FreeBSD releases. If you've run FreeBSD any time in the last few years, it's because of him.

Now he's out of work and his car is busted. Can't get one without the other. Throw him a couple bucks towards getting some wheels?

Them: you really mean you never, ever used #Spotify ? Really?

Me: "No .. I never bought into the "pay me to harvest your musical listening habits, your musical taste, and every other trait of your human existence so I can profit again by selling all that harvest to anyone else that you don't know so they can profile you good. And in return I'll let you listen to the music you already own .. or other music you'll never own!"

Not a single #Streaming service for me. 😎

Thank you 😊
