Well, we watched that.

In shocking #RiverMonth news, it was revealed *this month* that a sequel is in production.

Tonight's #RiverMonth movie: The River Wild (1994).

Spam from research.com:

"We are proud to announce that Research.com now ranks scholars for all major areas of science."

WHY IS THIS A GOOD THING? #Science is not a competition.

Panic-ordering textbooks under the absurd delusion that I can absorb them in time to prepare my fall classes.

#ReadingByOsmosis

#Python: We don't need all the boilerplate code and punctuation that Java requires.

#Haskell: Hold my beer.

Sometimes I want to search for games, e.g., the best (or even most popular) multiplayer Android games. Where can I find reasonable articles on things like this? Google turns up pages of garbage listicles that just vaguely summarize the game marketing copy while showering the reader with animated ads.

Yes, Manchin did us dirty, but he didn't do it single-handedly. Stories like this take it for granted that *all* of the Republicans will *always* vote for evil; reasoning with them is not even worth considering.

Troubling news on the #unity3d front. #gamedev

Rupert Murdoch's WSJ: That 10-year-old rape victim Biden mentioned? No evidence she exists.

Columbus Dispatch: Here are the receipts.

(We're still waiting on the receipts for the "stolen" election, which not even Trump's own bogus auditors could find.)

Ideologues of all stripes: "The pandemic has made it clear to everyone that I was right all along: we need more/less unions, taxes, guns, police, religion, poetry, regulation, mass transit, nuclear power, open-source software, capybara-themed throw pillows ..."

Yup, that did the trick!

It also seems that quote toots can only be created on some servers at this point.

A colleague in the #art department is looking for #software for accepting art submissions. Does anyone know of an existing, easy-to-use #FOSS solution? #mastoart

They say:

"There are numerous art submission programs that exist, often used when there is an open call for proposals or even in the art department at LC, we use it when we're hiring for tenure-track positions. But they're unbelievably expensive for small non-profit arts organizations to use. Some organizations just build their own software for artist submissions but many obviously don't even have the capacity for that. The software generally allows people to submit up to a certain amount of images, video files and then also writing and other application information. The most common one might be something like SlideRoom."

It's about time to start planning my #fire (or, if the landscape becomes too crispy, glow) #dance for the New Student Orientation show. Thinking about using the music from this glorious number from RRR:

My choreography would be a lot less leg and a lot more fire.
