The older I get the more I find myself being a true introvert. My job requires me to be "on" all day. I interact with students and co-workers and definitely need my down time at home each night. Currently we have visitors until next Wednesday. This means going home and being "on". Even though I have fun when I interact with our guests I still dread it because I know I won't get to decompress in my usual manner. Today I'm very tired as a result. Time to put on my patience
pants....

In my TBR pile. Loved Wilsner's first book Something to Talk About. Mistakes Were Made didn't work for me, however.

That instruction should have been more specific. Analog would have been a nice bit of information about the desired clock. I hope some of the students argued about missing the question.

Spring Break for me and we're off to Reno, Nevada. People at work were surprised because they know I don't gamble. My wife does, however. I'm looking forward to reading, playing my Switch, and visiting Reno's lone comic shop.

Well Animal Crossing is daily...my wife plays as well so I need to check my turnip prices. She buys 4,000 each week.

And I'm currently trying to get all of the flower colors in Fae Farm so that'll get a check in periodically.

I may focus more on some Pokemon games this trip or finally start No Man's Sky.

#FinishedReading (well, re-reading): I don't think these books are even close to as famous as Alan Moore's earlier more serious work like V and Watchmen, but I rate them just as highly; the sheer density of characters, interleaving subplots, and visual gags is incredible. #Bookstodon @bookstodon #comics #GeneHa #ZanderCannon

Superhero cops walk onto a bar filled with gods, one of whom (Baldur) lies dead on the floor. Policer officer Smax orders the crowd "Nobody move in a mysterious way..."

Via David Dayen:

are now saying "shut down the border or we'll shut down the government." Republicans always lose shutdown fights. But the point of this is not to win, it's to sustain the image of an crisis https://prospect.org/politics/2024-01-05-republicans-immigration-policy-fight/

@GottaLaff
I wish just once it would be pointed out that Republicans have no desire to "fix" immigration. A party who has no desire to govern needs issues to run on. They don't have abortion any longer so they're sure not giving up immigration.

I meant mentioned in straight news stories. But then they would be accused of liberal bias so never going to happen.

why is 'bare chested' usually used for men and 'topless' for women?
once again, women lack something.

A little disappointed my comic book collector bio dad stored these so haphazardly but they're not looking too bad for their age, and they were always readin' copies.

Tips on what the best comic book covers and any care tips? Thinking I'll slip them in those plastic comic covers and put them on a bottom shelf not facing a window. I have a hundred or two.

Bit of Old Book Smell but I don't think that's too avoidable here

For ease I just order silver age size bags and boards. Sometimes the current size aren't big enough to handle fatter issues.

Bronze Age issues will totally fit in the Silver Age bags.

🧵: will only exacerbate the health disparities between the richest and poorest in the US. A new study demonstrates that, while we tend to ignore the ongoing COVID risks, those risks are not gone nor evenly distributed.

The study found that “Public facing industries, including teaching and education, social care, healthcare, civil service, retail and transport industries and occupations, had the highest likelihood of long-COVID.” (1/9)

My wife and I went yesterday morning to a Kaiser flu clinic. They ended up also having the newest COVID booster as well. There were quite a few people in line. They were all masked even though it's no longer required.

Of course anyone who wants to attend an 830 on a Saturday morning flu clinic probably self-selects for folks who are cautious.

Little birthday gift to myself. A day late, but FedEx didn't know.

The Hunger and the Dusk. Written by @GWillow
and art by Chris Wildgoose.

Been looking forward to diving into this series. The art is gorgeous, the story is just getting started but I can't wait to see where it goes. A land dying, a dark force invading, an uneasy alliance to save what's left. What more could you want? High recommend.

It's - of my friends out here, who is your favorite cat villager?

So far, mine is Kabuki. Cool aesthetics, personality like a little old man. He's relatable...for some reason.

That said, aesthetically, Ankha is a close second.

What about you?

Anyone on a Chromebook?
How do you find Mastodon on the device you are using?

I still prefer using a desktop PC, or a PC Laptop, and I had to replace my laptop with a Chromebook. My last choice was always a phone.

I can't hit the right letters on the tiny touch screen, and make tons of typos, and get frustrated by it.

But, since comparing behavior, the phone is better on Mastodon than Chromebooks are.

Drawbacks to phone
Can't thread in Tusky app
Can't expand screen in columns
Can't type

@Rasta
I have no problems using Mastodon in my browser in Chromebook.

I find most of the apps on Chromebook to be a bit weird. But maybe that's just my old HP Chromebook.
