I've occasionally copy edited journal papers where the author wrote "this thing is interpreted as" when they meant "I interpret this thing as". Nope, you ain't getting away with that.

Is Seething hatred of our industry unique to software development or do others want to burn the world down because their chosen profession is so utterly broken?

Thought I ordered 50,000 nematodes. Would anyone like some nematodes.

Please. I have so many worms.

Tonight's theme for #JukeboxFridayNight is #GamesWePlay, inspired by New Zealand's win against Norway yesterday in women's football/soccer (FIFAWWC).

It so happens that my partner and I play LOTS AND LOTS of board games, roleplaying games, and video games. That last happens to have many excellent musical tracks, so that's where most of my focus is likely to be tonight.

Starting us off then with Diggy Diggy Hole, inspired by Minecraft:

Tonight's #BoardGames was Flamecraft. It's a cute, lightly strategic, family friendly, worker placement contract fulfillment type of game. Only about an hour to play (at least with two players). I liked it.

Ok, I need to give a clarification, just to avoid taking merits I don't have.

I know that timelines could become confusing, so it's difficult to tell who started what.

I was credited for #JukeboxFridayNight multiple times. While I don't deny to find the thing flattering, this awesome hashtag is not an idea of mine. 😊😊

Our friends from New Zealand sparked this. They are the "culprits". They also provide the prompts. They contribute in making our Fridays on Fedi better 😊. Thank you!

Tonight's theme for #JukeboxFridayNight is #SongsOfTheCosmos, in honour of #Matariki. First sighting of this star cluster (aka Pleiades) in mid-winter marks the beginning of the Māori new year. We did a theme based on outer space a while back, so this'll make a fine sequel. :)

My first choice tonight is a song that my partner introduced me to during the #RockAndRollDivas theme, because Gwen Stefani is in it. Here's SNL's Mafia Meeting, aka Space Pants:

This week's theme for #JukeboxFridayNight is #SchoolsOut, because here in New Zealand, Term 2 just ended. The obvious song that comes to mind for me is Alice Cooper's School's Out. Here's a live version:

Shattering the myth of men as hunters and women as gatherers

https://phys.org/news/2023-06-shattering-myth-men-hunters-women.html

"They found that women hunt in 79% of the analyzed societies, regardless of their status as mothers. More than 70% of female hunting appears to be intentional—as opposed to opportunistic killing of animals encountered while performing other activities, and intentional hunting by women appears to target game of all sizes, most often large game."

Looks like tonight's theme for #JukeboxFridayNight is #SurfingTheNewWave. I guess I'll start with How Far I'll Go from Moana:

Every time one of these fascists publicly utters something horrible, revealing themselves to be who they are, a tiny voice in my head tells me I should be relieved, for finally people will see the truth and reject them from public discourse.

That little voice in my head, it turns out, is an idiot.
