Every time I visit this INFN area within Sapienza University in Rome I have to take a picture of this corner. Boost this toot if you're planning on sticking around Mastodon & the Fediverse whether or not it's more popular than Bluesky.

  Lt. Trask sighed. Dennings was on sentry duty, which meant-- "Lieutenant! Reporting in: a huge flock of geese just passed overhead flying in a Y formation instead of a V." Dennings's voice crackled over the intercom. "Private, you know you're only supposed to #alert me if you see something unusual." "These geese were very unusual!" "Let me rephrase: a threat. Only report threats." "But sir, geese *are* threatening." "Private!" "OK sir, understood. Bigger threats." What a day … South Korean president declares martial law then parliament overrules him French government on brink of collapse, facing no-confidence vote And in the UK, the British government is talking about re-nationalizing near-bankrupt British Steel as talks with Chinese owners hit deadlock "But Captain, it's only Tuesday!"

 @cstross wrt the French government, it had been foreseen for a while. The government is basically composed of the two smallest groups of the national assembly, and the two largest minorities are on the far right and on the left (which this center-right/right government likes to call far left).  @cstross @cstross Current state of the world feels like the Titanic situation, with the people in charge/power living in denial or causing the problem, and then suddenly it’s too later and we’re all going down with the ship. For #BlackFriday I decided to send my students an e-mail about the **amazing** special offers of our University #library @unibibkoeln. This was inspired by an e-mail I got this morning from a BA student who asked me whether there was any financial aid for students who needed to buy academic papers that are behind a #paywall.

@ElenLeFoll @unibibkoeln More than once, I’ve had to show my students that the university library actually subscribed to the journal they needed an article from. If not #React then what? @slightlyoff has some (damned good) ideas: @Szescstopni just tell them they can disable boosts for you, a lot of people don’t know there’s an option Picked up this $8 book of mindfulness practices on a whim a few weeks ago and would highly recommend it for anyone dipping their toes into connecting back with their body with simple exercises. It's changed the way I eat, drive, and spend time with my kids for the better https://bookshop.org/p/books/mindfulness-on-the-go-shambhala-pocket-classic-simple-meditation-practices-you-can-do-anywhere-jan-chozen-bays/9754222 #Mindfulness

@isotopp oh no! it fell over! all the modern infrastructure is ruined! the thing one guy was thanklessly maintaining since 2006 failed! @isotopp Context for my fellow Anglophones: Bram Moolenaar, creator and maintainer of Vim, has passed away.  Twitter is a sign-in identity provider too... And revoking access at Twitter or deleting your account does not necessarily break that delegation token... If you've ever "Logged in" to a website or app with Twitter, you created an account with a secret Twitter holds on its servers. You don't sign in with your Twitter account. You sign in with an OAUTH token Twitter owns.  @georgetakei The Dutch call it "zesjescultuur" -- the effort to get a 6/10 (or passing but not outstanding) on a test. |
