Some pics of my new red orchid. The blue and green backgrounds on those two pics are created by placing the flower in front of a piece of sem-transparent film and pointing a strobe sitting behind at the film with a colored gel on the front of the strobe.

I had it pointed out to me by a friend, that in a sense Trump *is* the revolutionary.

Not because he'll fix things, but because he's persuaded his base that he will.

We all know he won't prevent his rich mates from squeezing every drop out of Americans. But his base think he will "drain the swamp", or whatever.

The United Healthcare killing exposes the real desperation though, and the US elite would be well advised to take heed.

Perhaps we just saw the first 3 shots in their next civil war.

I'm trying to follow from this side of the Atlantic the shooting of the United Healthcare boss in the USA.

Revolutions don't start because of groups of AK-toting revolutionaries, and they don't start to a schedule. They come from nowhere, and they happen when the people have no alternatives left but to rise up against the elite.

Wealth inequality and the US's criminal healthcare system have left its masses with that level of desperation. The Trump administration won't listen, but they should.

NoName have moved on to France, as… Trump is there 🫡 or something.

I’ll stop tracking threads now as I’m selfish. Although I do enjoy being an undercover Russian, and Russian sense of humour is pretty good (and odd).

Someone is enjoying the new quilt 💖

My Hexie quilt is finally finished! Many lessons learned making this, such as "don't back a quilt with fleece, you over-ambitious fool" and "your hand sewing is average at best!". But I'm really pleased with how it came out, and it's lovely and cuddly.

Since there’s been a resurgence lately of the “mastodon is mostly just for folks who use Linux” thing …

… i’m now curious about my community here

My oldest brought a friend home from college for Thanksgiving with us.

Today I overheard him exclaim “Ah yes. Mozzarella Firefox!”

So I had to make a logo.

I'm looking for a job. I have 30 years of experience doing complex systems programming in many languages, most recently Typescript, Haskell, and Python. I learn quickly. I can do advanced mathematics.

This year I helped a company migrate 15,000 customers from another company into their own systems.

Last year I helped develop a differential privacy database product written in Haskell.

Before that I helped develop a laboratory information management system that tracked up to 30,000 Covid-19 tests per day.

I live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, but I have years of success working remotely. I can start January 1.

Please check out my CV.

Here is a highlight from my trip this week.

a couple of people have asked what "until the end of Friday" means from a timezone perspective -- if it's Friday anywhere in the world, the sale's still on!

The Horrors™ persist, but so do cats 🐈

The NCT is really just a sleeper cell for the birthday party industry. Before you know it you're spending an insane amount of money over 2 months every year, because your kid and 7 others all throw a party where they all invite each other
