Since Calvin and Hobbes are popular right now, please know that the entire archive is available online, searchable, for free. This includes ALL the strips, including some that didn't make it into the various anthologies:

And if you are insistent on using alt text but are (like me) sometimes not motivated to type out the dialogue, there's even a 'transcript' button in the three-dot submenu. It's short on describing images, but it's thorough on the text.

Is there any end to this madness?

Probably not. This is why the CLI rocks on #Linux and #Unix based system. You are free to choose. This is how freedom tastes.

Okay I decided I'm following the NBA this season, can anyone catch me up right quick

Hey all, I'm Ashelyn

I'm a web developer working at the University of Utah's Genetic Science Learning Center, working to maintain and help expand our collection of learning materials at https://learn.genetics.utah.edu

This is a personal account so I'm here to make friends, but I picked this instance hoping I can get out of my existing tech circles and meet more folks in academia and education (and perhaps share a bit of fun tech from behind the website curtain as well)

#introduction

I can definitely say that there’s a noticeable number of new legitimate people signing up to infosec.exchange. Guessing another migration is underway. Welcome everyone!

admin it. you love htop. i do.

Perhaps 3024 will finally be the year of the Linux desktop.

To help make connections: name 5-7 (-20) things that interest you but aren't in your profile, as tags so they are searchable. Then boost this post or repeat its instructions so others know to do the same.

@actuallyautistic Could anyone recommend a book on emotions for Autistic people - preferably BY an Autist. My Autistic 14YO son just asked me for one, but "not one for kids". He says he needs something that discusses emotions and what they feel like, to help him understand how he feels. He knows anxiety all too well, but the more subtle ones are difficult for him to understand.

We're looking ourselves, of course, but so far the recommends we have found have been rather suspect. I value the ActuallyAutistic hive mind's opinions far more than any search engine's!

Please boost for reach ;-)

I loved this interview between Heather Cox Richardson and Stacey Abrams about how to meet the moment of the next four years.

Meanwhile in serious countries, the opposition stands up and opposes in beautiful ways.

MP Hana-Rawhiti Kareariki Maipi-Clarke of New Zealand, tore up proposed changes to the Indigenous Treaties Bill and started a haka in the Parliamentary Gallery.

She's the youngest MP at 22, representing Te Pāti Māori.

BADASS.

This is an experiment. Please boost.

Here's the idea: This post is going first to my followers, then, if they boost it, to other people. This domain has been registered for only this experiment. I should see in my web server's logs when mastodon instances start crawling the site for info. Then maybe also some curious humans.

I just want to play with my monitoring a bit :)

"Tolerance" means letting others live their own lives how they want.

"Tolerance" does NOT mean accepting an endless stream of abuse with good cheer.

The elivator lights go out. We’re trapped.

Christmas music begins, the worst of the worst: “Little Drummer Boy.”

“But they can't play this in March,” whimpers Carol.

"Little Drummer Boy" finishes—and begins again. Eternal repeat.

Our alien captor laughs. An ugly sound. So much hatred. But why?
