@SquidPresident@cryptids.online I suggest you hug this cat.

@neverfadingwood Today at least 200 rockets were fired into Israel.

@neverfadingwood I'm of the opinion that any rockets being fired into my country is too often.

@neverfadingwood
Thank you. I have an app that screams at me when I need to duck and cover.

Now onto more depressing news!

Rockets are again falling on Israel from the South. A lot of them. Since last night. They hit a bus that was thankfully empty.

Remember, these are dangerous explosive devices being fired indiscriminately into civilian centers. Very bad stuff.

I just saw one of the best handles for internet peoples I've ever seen:

OptimistPrime . I love it.

@cambridgeport90 Something I've noticed in those who are truly serious to this is that they also seem to be the type to believe conspiracy theories.

This may just be a bias on my part, though, as I don't have actual numbers. Still, those I've watched all seem to be of the tin-foil hat type.

@njha Some are, sure. But a great number aren't.

I should really stop watching these Flat Earth videos. Bad for the blood pressure, I think. Infuriating, each and every one of them. They're just illogical insanity.

I'm *not* a scientist. I don't have the education of a great many people. I'm still floored that this is a thing in 2018.

Flat Earthers make me question my sanity.

Are they a hallucination brought on by my bipolar disorder? Surely this isn't a real thing in the modern era, I say to myself, some kind of joke.

But no, it's a real thing and that makes me very, very sad.

@MammaMu I have a pro-nap agenda.

I would like to remind you all of the wisest words spoken by Kevin McCallister in Home Alone:

"Is this toothbrush approved by the American Dental Association?"

Just what we need in these dark times.

So, I went to see the opera Werther today. Beautiful show, very well done.

But I forgot how exhausting being in a crowd of people is for me. I've been keeping my hermit ways for a couple of months now and damn that social anxiety is emotionally- and physically- exhausting. Coiled like a spring for two and a half hours is just tiring.

However, the friend I went with had never been to an opera before, so I got to share her first opera with her. That's special.

@arteteco Yes. I'm hoping to get an outrage spiral in the STEM community. You have exposed my plan. :(

@SecondJon
First of all, mazel tov on the promotion.

Second, that sounds like a shit show. I have no advice, but best of luck.

@cambridgeport90 I'll take a look at some of that when I'm not passing out. I'll check with @freemo , though. He's a really nice dude, and a whole heck of a lot more knowledgeable than I am in the code department. I am more of a #stem fan than an actual scholar. :)
