Today's... "what?!" Wikipedia post:

In 2007, Steenburgen underwent minor surgery on her arm, which required a general anaesthetic; shortly thereafter, she began experiencing "music (...) playing in her head day and night". She subsequently took music lessons so that she could write down what she was hearing, and by 2013 had almost 50 songwriting credits.

Well that’s a first. #Amtrak 687 just left Boston North Station without any passengers. Announced delay, eventually announced gate, then slowly left as we all walked up to board. Weirdest thing. Gate agent has no idea why and is unable to get anyone at Amtrak on the phone. Good times. #trains #boston.

@mdiluz@mastodon.gamedev.place As someone who spent almost twenty years on IRC and fled the Freenode implosion in May 2021, I now sort of wish I had stuck it out with Matrix (which was hella jank almost five years ago) instead of going to Discord. I wonder how/if this will impact how we run REAC and the Advances chat this year, what a mess.

@hugo@social.treehouse.systems The one that continues to amaze me is that the Great Lakes are only 10k-14k years old, which is miniscule on geologic scales. Recommend reading about the last glacial maximum, the Holocene glacial retreat, the little Ice Age.
