You can see from the graph the same trend has been happening approximately every 3 months in the past year, almost like clockwork, with peaks of PCR positivity (green) and # of patients hospitalized (orange) in early January, April, July, and October. It will be interesting to see if this pattern continues with another peak in mid-January. 9/

She peeked over the edge of the bed.
"Are you still there?" she whispered.
The monsters under the bed did not reply.
"There is an elf on my shelf."
Silence.
"It watches me, and reports to Santa."
A hoarse growl came under the bed:
"Turn the light off."
She smiled.
"Thank you."

@watermicrobe the second most intense calico on science Twitter is no more. Fast moving cancer got her on Thursday.

A very needy calico cat, at one of her most recent happy times, but now sadly no longer among the living.

Had to leave this dude unsupervised a couple days after his sister died. At least he’s still got one buddy. This is why I firmly believe that three cats is the way.

My goal is to be just as random on Mastodon as I am/was on Twitter. I’m still not fully committed to this place, but I took the app off my phone so here’s where I am while not at my desk. Project Mushroom is just a special Mastodon instance, CounterSocial’s super quiet, Post won’t let me in, I’m not enough of a beautiful weirdo for Tumblr, and Spoutible isn’t ready yet. #introduction

Look at this gate full of underdressed schmucks flying to #wisconsin where apparently it is finally a normal level of cold as ass now instead of unseasonably warm

This is not a chart depicting Moore’s Law.

This chart is the CRAYOLA COROLLARY showing that the number of Crayola crayon colors doubles approximately every 18 years.

a chart that starts in 1903 with only 8 crayon colors (black, brown, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple red) that shows the number of colors doubling (the colors themselves subdivide on the chart at each year marker) in 1935 and again in 1945m 1958m 1972m 1990, 1998, and 2010 until there are hundreds of colors

The #measles outbreak in and round Columbus, Ohio continues to grow. There have now been 73 cases in children under the age of 17; 26 of these kids were hospitalized at a point. 56 of these kids were old enough to have had at least 1 dose of vaccine; only 4 did. public.tableau.com/app/profile

Even if the technical side of #MastodonAdmin hadn't deterred me, just skimming denise.dreamwidth.org/91757.ht (A guide to potential liability pitfalls for people running a Mastodon instance) is more than enough to put me off any wish to host a public Mastodon instance.

The big question now is, is everyone on this #plane getting #rotavirus because someone hoarked in the lav and they are holding us all in here while they remove the passenger and disinfect.
