“Pro-car activists” are the lowest of the low. What a basic white-rice personality you must have to engage in that. Pathetic.

World War I German military bicycle brought from Germany in Tanganyika, present day Tanzania, which was used by German's soldiers to engage British's soldiers in Kenya.

German machine still intact, I need something like this today.

Regarding LB*: This line from the linked paper gave me a chuckle:

"Probably the tide cannot be held back. That ship, I’m often told, has already sailed. And surely one audience reading one paper at one conference will not stem the tide, or unsail the ship, or whatever."

RT @cstrotm For the love of troff:

>>The state of Unix documentation has not advanced for decades. The venerable man page remains the backbone[..].

This paper reviews the state of the art, and critiques the variety of documentation systems in current use. It explores why new systems were invented, which are currently fashionable, and suggests a path to a better, unified documentation system based whollyand solely on troff.<<

This one looked like it wanted to jump down on my head, which I encouraged, but it didn't do it.

• An orange black and white cat is looking down at the camera from up on a wooden structure that places it above the camera-holder's head. It has a daring pose, like it's moving into position for a jump. Behind it is the overcast sky. (remote)

It took a while for me to see, because I grew up immersed in it, but I've been confused by the US myth of ourselves that we live in a culture that values democracy when most of our day-to-day activities involve interacting with top-down, authoritarian institutions. When the majority of us who work for a living have to watch what we say or lose our livelihood... Anyway, some leads for interesting recent activity:

RT @Sibylle I'm here for like two weeks. It feels much better than constantly being on Facebook. I'm calmer and more present.

But I really miss my #yarn and #handspinning tribe. I have noone to really share this passion with in real life, and there seems to be like I'm the only mastodon user in this niche.
Maybe I should not care and just create. It just feels a bit lonely like this.

Or maybe I'm just too stupid to navigate the #fediverse. But I'm really not that geeky Person...

• Top view on the flyer and bobbins of a spinning wheel. The bobbin is half full of variegated thread. Dominant color is a cool Red tone.
• Green orange and white batts of wool piled up on a balcony.

Sounds a bit silly to play Tom Morello riffs without an amp, without pedals, without a kill switch, and nothing to kill anyway.
But it's fun to try to get the groove at least.
