Managed to get tickets for the RPSI Santa Train. Didn't manage to get one of the steam train options - they sold out instantly - but did get one of the diesels. Really looking forward to it, first time we've gone since before COVID. #speirgorm

Say what you will about AI actress Tilly Norwood, but I think she's adorable. She has a real "mutant next door" look.

Totally wild to me that Irish politics ends up being #2 in trending on Bluesky. Congrats to Catherine Connolly on her win as the new Irish President and looking forward to Bluesky having more globally representative trends in the future!

Allow yourself to celebrate even the smallest of victories in the face of adversity. Don't snuff out a light because it is not bright enough. Nurture it, and fight to make it grow until the shadows retreat. Even the greatest beacons may be lit with the smallest spark.

Tried out the new #startrek Voyager game. It launchs on my #linux #fedora laptop (on low graphics - frame rate is set to 30, but is more like 3), however I can't do anything once I get to the first scene on the bridge. Esc gets me back to the menu, but nothing else works.

![4-panel comic. (1) [person in front of window, shaped like a trapezoid with a curved top] This weekend, I had to make an oversized screen for a porch window.

Curved edges. Noncoplanarity. (3) [person in front of window with screen on it, with building detritus strewn on the ground] ...I solved them all. I measured precisely. I did trigonometry. I made custom parts. And it fit *perfectly.* No gaps, no ripples.

Trump Declares Everyone Who Doesn’t Kiss His Ass Is A Terrorist
Trump has officially given up on any semblance of attempting actual governance and moved to pure man-baby-without-a-nap tantrum mode. His latest "countering domestic terrorism and organized political violence" memorandum is basically him screaming "EVERYONE WHO DOESN'T LIKE ME IS A TERRORIST!" in official government letterhead. The document has zero legal authority and can't actually do anything to change the law—it's performative authoritarian cosplay from a president whose approval ratings have cratered and whose policies are imploding (even the ones that were previously popular).

If someone’s not mourning the death of Robert Redford in a manner that’s consistent with your views, make sure you set up a database, call their employer, and get them fired.
