Really enjoying 30 Acres on @rtedoconone.bsky.social. very entertaining and funny. Bit of a change of pace from the very serious, and important, recent series.

First time watching an #F1 race in years. DRS still as shit as ever. Thankfully it's gone after this race. Maybe F1 will be worth watching again.

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. (2) [person sitting with hands on head surrounded by images of assorted equations and measurements] It involved countless tiny problems, each somehow way harder than it should be. Oblique angles. 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.
