Lost and found in Mastodon
TIL: when the Back button in Mastodon can not take me back to something, I can use the web browser to browse back.

I replaced the battery pack in a Mac laptop a few days ago. The replacement I ordered came with a tiny little booklet labelled "Instructions", but it consisted of nothing but warnings.
One of them literally says "Do not hammer a nail through the battery."
Aw, that was my first impulse...

Space, Lee Mullican, 1951
trying to think of something that relates to a new war started. This image has the feel of the inextinguishable light of Truth that is always there, shining through and through, knowing what you are, and why you do what you do. Inescapable.
Hi there! Yes, you! (always right there, inescapable)
