I love how every post I find about migrating your account from one Mastodon instance to another: a) gives anywhere from slightly to radically different instructions; b) doesn't work; c) stresses how totally simple migration is.

In "I tried it so you don't have to," news, duct-tape hair removal doesn't work.

The tape just peels off without actually taking any hair with it.

I'm disappointed!

This is Jack. He got into a fight and ended up with a wound on his side. The Vet suggested a shirt as a less stressful approach to keep him from chewing it, rather than a plastic cone. I rolled the cuffs, so he didnt catch them on his claws. Then I popped his collar and Hasselhoffed his chest for style. Sort of Fun Fact: Most cats fit into baby shirts sized 0-3 months. Go forth, shirteth thine feline.

I have to put a shirt on my cat.

Well, that was fun but strangely anti-climactic. I just re-played Karateka, the Apple II version. I remember that as having been SUCH a cool, epic game when I was a kid. Just now, um, it was fun but actually quite easy and I beat the entire game in about half an hour.

Finding it hard to fight the anxiety and despair today. As we move into September and I'm still on "temporary layoff", it's starting to feel like an increasingly real possibility that I may need to look for new work. That in turn brings up all the feelings of inadequacy and utter unpreparedness I feel around work in general. Also, surfing the internet this evening looking for distractions or connections, every turn seems to lead only to incomprehensible discussions that leave me feeling worse.

2021 will see the release of a film purportedly based on the novel, "We," a seminal dystopian science fiction novel penned in 1920 by Russian author Yevgeny Zamyatin.

I read "We" not too long ago, and I've just watched the trailer for the film. There seems to be very little in the trailer that I recall from the novel.

I'm finding it hard to not be pre-emptively annoyed, having not yet seen the film. Especially so since probably relatively few people who see it will have read the book.
