My cartoon for today’s @guardian books.

Image: A mother, daughter and young son queue up to borrow books they have chosen from the well-stocked shelves. The figure at the desk gesticulates wildly while saying: "Wake up, people!! The state is lending you these books to blunt your natural acquisitive urges and keep you compliant!" Caption: Due to a typo in the job listing, the vacancy at the public library was filled by a libertarian.

Screenshot of post from @hungover_the A friend once share what she called the Parable of the Choir: A choir can sing a beautiful note impossibly long because singers can individually drop out to breathe as necessary and the note goes on. Social justice activism should be like that, she said. That's stuck with me.

new meme format shows some promise I think

on the top line, a skeptical Luigi Mangione is juxtaposed with impact-fond "Space billionaires(noun)" on the bottom line, a less skeptical and more accepting Luigi Mangione is juxtaposed with "Space billionaires (verb)"

after running smoothly for a few weeks, today a kernel update murdered my poor server process, boo hoo hoo 😝

my primary task for this coming week is to (learn how to) write a decent .service file and put Storyteller under systemctl so it gets automatically restarted & logs get rotated & etc right along with the other always-on stuff

For the SNL50 concert, the members of Nirvana got Post Malone to fill in on vocals and they performed "Smells Like Teen Spirit". I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it and wanted to share because it's got lots of feels for someone my age that grew up with grunge.

The question I wish all Americans were educated & thoughtful enough to ask is: Among Trump's close influencers, who benefits from dismantling the brain trust and infrastructure of what has been for generations the foremost global superpower?

It’s beginning to look like Bridget will never learn to fly with her beautiful blue wings. #cat #caturday #CatsOfMastodon #catstodon

A tortoiseshell swirly tabby with white paws and chest lying on a rug. Some cheap blue butterfly-ish wings are loosely attached to her back and she is turned around trying to get them off. She’s a little chonky and frankly the wings would have to be quite a bit larger to carry her even if she knew how to fly. But it is cute!

People in the EU are now putting up stickers that read, “Elon Musk is attacking the European Union. Boycott Tesla,” and “Elon, stay away from the EU.” These stickers, featuring EU flags and a link to StopElon.eu, appear on public EV chargers and other visible spots. The message calls on EU citizens to defend democratic values against foreign influences.
