Oh, joy—my kid's 4th-grade science class is discussing #copyright licenses today, because the kids are afraid of getting in trouble when their teacher posts copies of a worksheet online for them.... #barf -

@steve another class of items that seem to be conspicuously not sold out is #birth-control. Expect to see a spike in births around December/January....

Cripes I hate #politics in the #US right now. There's no way to even say "yes I went to work in Boston yesterday" right now without having to follow up with "I DON'T FUCKING CARE WHAT YOU THINK OF DONALD TRUMP, NOT EVERY CONVERSATION HAS TO BE ABOUT HIM".... -

Dunno what I was dreaming about, or whether I was dreaming, or whether this counts as a #dream....
As I woke this morning, a phrase was `ringing' in my mind: "C. LATRANS".
Spent the rest of the journey to alertness trying to remember what a "c. latrans" was--"is that... a bacterium like `c. botulinum'? No.... What does it mean?"
Of course "canis latrans" is another #name for the #coyote.
What a strange experience.... -

In other news, #REBOL still exists. I remember learning about it back in... 1998? The surprising thing is that it apparently survived all the way from 1997 to the end of 2012 without being #opensource. The whole idea of writing software in someone else's proprietary #language just sounds so... incredibly #offputting. -
