Words for today.
Here we are my friends! You’ve done it. Friday at last. (In 1 week, the day after!) pace yourself. Don’t rush to the finish line. You may miss something that you were supposed to see. Trust in yourself. You got this. Go. Forward always. Let’s do this! Be careful. Be safe.

Be you.
Take no shit.

I hate that negativity gets all the amplification by social media algorithms.

Let’s amplify LOVE instead.

I am beaming love at you. Right now.

Fuck the haters. I defy you. I am beaming extra love right into your face. Relax and be loved.

This is an excellent recommendation (although admittedly biased from Shahid) I think I shall do just this and hope others join me.
Have a great Friday by getting yourself a copy of the compiled edition of Code is Just — Many people called it the best ever thread on that other place. Price not an obstacle. Please share to get the word out not just to those who awaited this compilation, but to those who haven’t read the original.
Code is Just, all three seasons, as heavily requested, is finally out in a compiled PDF and ePub for easy reading. Price is whatever is reasonable for you, including zero. 1720541891659.gumroad.com/l/qkali

Graeme has the greatest dreams and if you’re of a certain age and in to video games that changed the whole state of the art, some of these dreams had an impact in your own life.
A person in a dream I had today asked if I realized animal name lengths were an indication of danger, I said that's ridiculous!. They said, cat, dog, cow, pig, all no danger. Lion, more danger. Shark, more danger, Tyrannosaurs Rex.. well you'e dead.

When I say that the immunity elicited by current SARS-CoV-2 vaccines is durable, this is a clear example of what I'm talking about: protection from severe outcomes of COVID-19 is still maintained at high levels in vaccinees even when antibodies have reached the lower limit of detection at 180 days.🧵
Comparative duration of neutralizing responses and protections of COVID-19 vaccination and correlates of protection - Nature Communications
Neutralizing antibody titers are considered possible correlates of protection against SARS-CoV-2, but vaccine efficacy for Omicron infections is high despite reduced titers. Here, the authors investig...

1982: I wrote Alien Attack, my first game, on an Atari 400, in BASIC. It had a custom character set for the alien (one at a time) and your spaceship. I advertised it in the Popular Computing Weekly classifieds for £5, for a week. Not much of a campaign. I sold zero copies.

Really interesting article, also one of the scariest pieces of non-fiction regarding technology I've read in a long time.
