I try to be aware of the wider world. But this morning, I saw something about celebrating API month. I thought, "Why are we celebrating Application Programming Interface month?" Instead, it meant Asia Pacific Islander month. I obviously need to get out from behind a keyboard more often.

No lande hath evir had but one language. Even the monolingual do not lyve wyth just one tongue. Historye ys polyglot, culture ys a glorious babel of invention, and lyfe itself ys made out of translaciouns.

There’s nothing scary about this. I mean deflating government excesses (if you believe that kind of thing) is just like popping a balloon, right?

So very cool.
I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️🌈💖

I love Rogue One and all the concept art we got from it. I would also love to see more media like it and Twilight Company. #starwars, #rogueone
It's hard to break down something as complex as a multi-million dollar blockbuster with one single image. Nevertheless, it exists, the ultimate concept art for Rogue One: starwarsconceptart.substack.com/p/with-one-s...

As if we needed another reason to think Sigourney Weaver was awesome.
Sigourney Weaver was “delighted” to join the Star Wars franchise but says Grogu was the whole reason she signed on for The Mandalorian & Grogu: “He's a little badass”

But cancel it because a small but vocal group of people on the internet whine because it’s too “woke”. I hope they at least finish the story they were telling in books or some other media.

They were already on my shit list because of their flipping on LGBTQIA+ support. So this won’t be super hard. Though they are more convenient than other similar stores.

Great observation.
Just hit me why AOC is so good and brilliant at being the adult in the room with all the trashy losers making terrible choices around her. She used to be a bartender.

I first learned about Leonard 30 some odd years ago. Nothing in the case against him made sense. I’m glad he’s finally able to walk free. It’s LONG overdue.

My hearing has gotten worse and worse over the years. I now regularly find guitar parts I love to play no longer exist for me. So after talking about it for a long time I finally got a bass.

I liked history as a kid, just not the way it was taught in school. Then as an adult I got into living history. I feel called out by this.
