In no particular order:

  • There is some sort of holiday later this week, I suppose.
    • I am still teaching this week
    • I am still teaching Wednesday night
  • Increasingly I end up convinced that Gerry Anderson’s vision of the future is what our world is converging towards in far too many ways.
    • The Antonov An-225 leaves me wondering when exactly Thunderbirds first aired in the Soviet Union, for example.
    • We’re less than 40 years away from the time when the story of Thunderbirds and Stingray was said to take place.
  • I’m not happy about the “Content Warning” drama in Mastodon land.
    • While I was writing this in Visual Studio Code it automatically offered to open a GitHub Issue for me, strangely enough.
    • In the end, my personal settings on mas.to expand all such taggings by default.
      • I can survive looking at such things usually.
      • It annoys me heavily having to click through all of them to get at content. That drove me back to Twitter when the “Content Warning” banners got way too excessive.
    • Either this will pass eventually or there will be a schism. My money is on a schism.
  • I am trying out share buttons on my Jekyll pages. Hopefully it works okay.
  • It is still cold and messy outside. This climate is not great for me.
