hello cobost what is a good diagramming software for linux i need to make funny diagrams for my masters thesis

useful RSS feed for covid-19 data in the US: https://biobot.io/risk-reports/feed/ has weekly summaries of data and overall risk reports

(this isn't explicitly listed on their site, i guessed at a non-marketing category because the site seems to run on wordpress)

i refuse to entertain the idea that the universe is an "uncaring void". you're not a stranger to the universe. the big bang produced you, and you care.

i refuse to entertain complaints that love is "just a chemical". everything is a chemical. love is made of the same stuff you are. when you complain that love is a chemical all i hear is that, in your opinion, love is too real.

We are [part of/a manifestation of] the universe, we can impose care and purpose onto it and in fact have a responsibility to do so

absolutely agreed

it's a collaboration. we are part of the universe, providing the intelligence and goal-direction and storytelling, while the rest of the universe provides all the STUFF

To add to the above, I am not union eligible but as a Them freelancer I am acting in solidarity with the work stoppage and boycott tomorrow, both of which I can personally confirm are real and union-coordinated. Some of my freelance colleagues may still be working as scheduled, but they are not scabbing! They are cleared by the union to work their regularly contracted hours tomorrow as long as they pick up no extra work.

Please don't read or interact with any of the above struck sites for the next 24 hours! But feel free to read us again Wednesday!
