Choose gentle joy to yourself. Make that your mantra. Live it day by day and develop the willpower to be in a mindful, nonreactive mindset. That's really the best advice I have today for Mastodon. I feel your pain, your fear, but by not assuming and listening to our fellow neighbors, choosing optimism, you can still shape further divisions from occuring in this world. Now go forth, I've given many you a bunch of inspiring messages that came from my heart and soul around this.

Since this morning I feel I'm in an alternate universe where the time isn't flowing the same way.

Technically not wrong…

Yup….

We are fucked as a democratic nation.
And now Ukraine is fucked and so is Gaza.

The whole planet is fucked. I wish this was hyperbole, but it's not.

Semifun fact:
My seventeen years old son forgot his calculator with his mum, and is at this very moment using my fx-180P during his physics test today.

@MrShark @nixCraft wow what a fun coincidence. I brought it out as a backup for *my* then 17yo son when his fancy graphical calculator broke earlier this year, and it has just been left lingering on my table since.

(now he has turned 18 and I fixed his TI calc by replacing the battery)

Hey, I'm so sorry you had to cancel a visit with your brother. Praying you'll feel better.

OK, my one and only political post as it honestly doesn't engage me.

Am I alone in thinking it's really messed up to allow a convicted criminal to even run for presidency, let alone be able to take office.

What kind of message does that send out?

Don’t expect Chrome to support keyboard-operable scrolling regions until (maybe) version 132 (anchor link):

Remember y'all, the only thing you always have control over are your reactions, always. It's an autonomy nobody can take away when you think about it, you and you alone have control of how your feelings alter your own actions. (Unless of course you're hooked up to mind and body control systems, but let's not think about that.)
It's very disheartening to see so many already panic and talk of leaving a country when there's zero reason to worry until and if we reach any of those moments.

Huge hugs to you! I totally get your feelings and they are valid, but I also hope it doesn't go that far. If they are planning to mirror Orbán, who is largely the prime-minister keeping me away from returning to visit Hungary, the ones at highest risk are undocumented and entering the border immigrants. They would have much harder times getting rid of naturalized citizens or actual people without huge consequences and protests first, so I wouldn't worry til it happens. :) #USPol

Many years ago, around 1990, I was in a bus with a friend, discussing UNIX process management. After a while I realized the other passengers were looking at us in a very worried way.

Don't talk about parents outliving their children, or killing their children, without saying you're talking about processes.

Now that it's no longer possible to rank in web searches, unless you're a content farm or a major publisher, it's a good time to ditch SEO, drop keywords, use descriptive headlines instead of catchy or clickbait ones, and write for humans. SEO won't help anyway, so let's help the readers who care.

Gentle reminder that most disabled people can NOT leave the United States. Countries don’t want to take in disabled, chronically ill and “high cost health users”. There are serious financial barriers to moving - leaving most people behind.

Spare a thought for all of us tonight - people are scared. Then regroup and find a way forward … we are stronger together.

I was joking that we should have build a wall and gotten the US to pay for it.
