Ice cream cures hay-fever, and you can’t change my mind.

Ice cream cures hay-fever, and you can’t change my mind.
Controversial abbreviated (per)version of Pamela Allen's classic tale from my childhood. #spoilers
Sadly, this probably wouldn't be considered satire if it was posted on other platforms.
The moral of the story is to get a bigger boat... right?

![Three-panel image. First image is the front cover of Pamela Allen's childrens picture book, "Who Sank the Boat?", featuring illustrated donkey and cow each holding an oar in a very small row boat in an anthropomorphised fashion. The boat floats on an abstract body of water.
The second panel is a selected clip featuring President Donald Trump sitting next to his Department of War Secretary, Pete Hegseth, who is responding to questions about the recent actions of department members who sank a boat with questionable ethical timing and decisions in the actions taken (this is an attempted apolitical comment respecting due process of investigation). The captions of the video read "[He sunk the boat, and] eliminated the threat. He sunk the boat, sunk the boat, and eliminated [the threat]."
The final panel involves a spoiler, and features the illustration found near the end of the story. The picture features a dock on a body of water to the edge of the frame. The boat is barely visible, just the rim is left afloat as the boat is overloaded. Inside the boat feature the cow and donkey as per the cover of the book, now joined with a pig and a sheep. They all look above them, fixated on the tiny mouse that is airborne after having lept of the pier, destined to land on the boat with the others.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wjqoccydqzg6cgcjgpc6b3le/bafkreib6aamx7sv2ebcqkz5we7gmpm7x3hemavu6fprxm5mlysfqq6jstq@jpeg)

I can't do long late night coding sessions at the moment without a #chappellroan concert playing in the background, and I'm ok with that.

This was great. The 16% Fish user-base is +1 user today.
I've shied away from modernizing my terminal environment for fear of breaking everything, but with some reading and help from @mattcen.com I have a very comfortable terminal environment again. Thanks @b0rk.jvns.ca!

Enjoyed _Better Man_ last night, but it was darker for much longer than I expected it to be.
Great biopic of Robbie Williams’ career beginnings - recommend for fans.

Went to Christmas mass tonight for the first time in a while and heard Luke 2:1-14, and on reflection, it was a poor choice by Caesar Augustus to hold a census during the holiday season.
Pressures of the day could have been avoided by moving the record date by two weeks.
Merry Christmas, all!
