I am not of a tradition that celebrates Diwali but I fucking love it, there's such a beautiful sense of togetherness as the fireworks go off and light up the sky. Warms the heart in these miserable, cold times and I really seeing and hearing it. Happy Diwali to all who celebrate it!

Embrace your inner curmudgeonhood!!

FAO white people: it's Diwali and Bandi Chhor Divas. More than a billion people in the world celebrate it. Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and some sects of Buddhists set off fireworks over the days it occurs and is a major religious festival all over the world that happens annually. That's why fireworks are going off ~when it's way after bonfire night~

lol lmao etc

In a move that does not surprise anyone with half a brain, of course, the english defence league and their associated racists turned up to the cenotaph looking to get violent, with those marching for peace.

That's what those fascists do. They fight the ppl marching for peace, and it turns out the police

I have the best conversations with my mom. I try my best at a translation of the call I just had with her:

phone ringing
Me: Hello m...
Her: Eʟᴅᴇʀ Sᴘᴀᴡɴ.
Me: ...
Me: Yᴇs Gʀᴀɴᴅ Mᴀᴛʀɪᴀʀᴄʜ.
Her: I sʜᴀʟʟ sᴜᴍᴍᴏɴ ʏᴏᴜ ᴛᴏ ᴘᴀʀᴛᴀᴋᴇ ɪɴ ꜰᴇᴀsᴛɪɴɢ ᴏɴ ᴛʜᴇ sᴀᴄʀɪꜰɪᴄᴇs ʟᴀɪᴅ ʙᴇꜰᴏʀᴇ ᴜs ᴛʜɪs ᴅᴀʏ ᴏꜰ sᴜɴ. Wɪʟʟ ʏᴏᴜ ʜᴇᴇᴅ ᴍʏ sᴜᴍᴍᴏɴs?
Me: checks calendar
Me: Tʜᴇ sᴛᴀʀs ᴀʟɪɢɴ, ɴᴏᴛʜɪɴɢ ᴡᴏᴜʟᴅ ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴍᴇ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ɢʀᴇᴀᴛ ᴍᴏᴛʜᴇʀ. I sʜᴀʟʟ ᴍᴀɴɪꜰᴇsᴛ ɪɴ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴄᴏᴜʀᴛ ᴀᴛ ᴛʜᴇ 12ᴛʜ ʜᴏᴜʀ ᴡʜᴇɴ ᴛʜᴇ sᴜɴ ʙᴇʟɪᴇᴠᴇs ɪᴛsᴇʟꜰ ɪɴᴠɪɴᴄɪʙʟᴇ.

Me: Great, see you on sunday.
Her: Try to be punctual.

I always refer to her when people ask me "why are you like this?".

This just blew my mind My respect for the modern tech I use just went up a level

Important news for all nerds: The Unix timestamp will begin with 17 this Tuesday.

i think it's crazy that any usb cable designed to supply over 60 watts or 480 Mbps needs to have a dedicated IC inside. the so called "E-marker" chip. at what point did electrical engineers think it was ok to turn cables into computers? the interface should handle all that not the cable. just sloppy and stupid. PoE can supply 100 watts and gigabit speeds with just a regular Ethernet cable. no excuses.

Superb!

🎶 Welcome to the juggle,
We got balls and clubs
We got all the skills you want,
And honey, we know the names
We are the people that can show
Whatever trick you need
If you got the money, honey,
We got your disease 🎶

Been reading too much news today, while feeling a bit under the weather.

I did find a leaf building a protective cage around itself though.

Sounds like a plan.

Just having a catch up on the headlines from the inquiry.

Saw them asking Priti Patel about plans to help vulnerable people.

Thought to myself "why are they asking her about that"? before realising that's something the Home Office is supposed to do.

It's meant to keep people safe.

What a damning indictment of the Home Office of recent years that I should be so surprised at having to connect those two things.

Grim.

OH: A coworker just shared a term she uses to describe meetings that go astray when certain coworkers bloviate. “Non-consensual TED talk.”

We went to Joshua Tree yesterday (my second visit) and I brought my infrared camera along with me to see what I could capture. #infrared #photography #landscapephoto #landscapephotography

the sun is always shining somewhere, electricity flows near the speed of light, doesn't take a genius to realize that solar on demand is possible even in the middle of the night, it's just a matter of infrastructure and transcontinental agreements.

what all you bluesky people don't get is that the very second Jack Dorsey gets a billion dollar bid he's going to sell you all down the river without a second thought, just like he did with Twitter. and we all know how that turned out.
