Before the pandemic, I worked from an office, and had done so my entire career.
I hated having to go remote, and couldn't wait to be back. I went as far as to get a waiver so that I could start working back in the office this summer.
But - it's a ghost town. I have a whole floor to myself. There's no point in going there, and when the office officially reopens I'm not sure how many people will actually show up.
I'm starting to wonder if I will ever work from an office again. 🤷♂️
Nerd alert: I just finished the Lucifer series on Netflix and so of course now I have to go and read the _entire_ comic series. The omnibus comes in two volumes, and each one weighs in at a hefty 1000+ pages…
Just finished watching Lucifer Season 6 on Netflix. All. The. Feels. I'm a total wreck now, but in a good way.
I just tried “Bulletproof Coffee” for the first time. It is, somehow, the bacon of coffees.
Tomorrow: long drive with my mother to $family_event
Today: 5:1 Manhattan w/ Buffalo Trace bourbon, Carpana Antica Formula sweet vermouth, Angostura bitters, Luxardo cherry. Savoring the hell out of it, looking forward to another at the destination.

We're All Supposed to Pretend There's a Serious Investigation of January 6 That Republicans Would Support
"This is an obvious and clumsy strategy, which makes me believe that it's Kevin McCarthy's."

Read Red Hat's statement about Richard Stallman’s return to the Free Software Foundation board.
Shameless plug: I’m doing a DJ set tonight from 8pm -> midnight US Eastern time. If you’re looking for a virtual party to see off 2020, join in!

House raided and computers seized for telling the truth on #COVID19.
Question for the fediverse: I’m a hobbyist DJ that does a livestream set every Friday night. How do I promote myself _without_ using the typical social media channels? I have a website for my DJ persona but I don’t really see any way of promoting myself if I want to avoid Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and the like...

Friendly reminder that Command Line Heroes is a thing, it's absolutely spectacular, and is hosted by the one and only @saronyitbarek.

Getting members of the medieval bourgeoisie to sell each other out... flipping burghers

I am fairly certain the election lawsuits will not pan out. Election officials (republicans _and_ democrats, depending on the state) knew they would be under the microscope and so they did everything as “by the book” as possible. Happy to debate this with you if you think differently; I’m not a party zealot and I’m always willing to consider reasonable evidence.
That all said, with the election behind us... I’m looking forward to not caring about politics for a while.
Random thought: after twenty years of continuous inhabitants, the inside of the International Space Station has got to smell like corpse farts.
