Random thought: I am not talented enough to do this but has anyone thought of redrafting the lyrics to Bryan Adams' hit "Summer of 69" where the subject is the "Year of the Four Emperors" in Ancient Rome?

Cytologist and ex-archaeologist. Good at my job, shit at my life. Will consume any media involving horror, sci-fi, fantasy, antiquity, linguistics, philosophy (especially free-will), science and psychology until it comes out of my ears.
I love hiking in the nature and swimming in lakes.
Trying to learn cybersecurity as a hobby with a side order of digital privacy.
My musical preference is "good tunes", its type is immaterial.

Two Epstein “Scouts” dead within days of each other. Fancy that. 🤔

@bazkie@beige.party @joeress@mastodon.social It will either be a very angry episode of @latenightlinux@mastodon.social next OR it will focus other things as all his listeners know the score. I’m fine either way.
Maybe a guest host while he calms down? 🧐
I’m fucking fuming, though. So disappointed and the XFCE maintainer’s blog post made it worse, if anything.

@anon_opin@mastodon.social I’ve considered donating my body to a medical facility but am suspicious of drunken medics having a laugh with my dissected cadaver but if I can bring joy after my passing maybe that’s not so bad?

@xahteiwi@mastodon.social In Swedish there is a phrase,
“Göra en björntjänst” or to “do a bear-favour” which again means trying to help but making things worse.

I’m going to demand a refund from my university where I studied Classics. They told me “The Odyssey” was a mythical epic that constantly evolved as it passed down via oral tradition over centuries.
Now I learn someone’s going to make an “historically accurate” version. I’m fuming!

@jeremy_list@hachyderm.io @mgorny@social.treehouse.systems It’s tricky. Searches tend to yield information about AI features or banning thereof but not if they accept slopped code. My perspective is ethical, I’m not a coder myself.

@TwoClownsEating@beige.party @MrAndrewD@aus.social I watched “Hot Fuzz” with my elderly mum when I flew over to the UK a week ago. This reminded me because one of the Andies tells Sgt Angel, “If you want to be a big cop in a small town, go to the modal village”.
She doesn’t get all of the cultural references but she’s always fancied Timothy Dalton (who doesn’t).

@insanitybytes2.wordpress.com Wow! Looking at my diet I probably ingest 1500 calories a day although it is all good food. I've always been skinny with a weak appetite though.

Watching the new “Cape Fear” and one of the characters warns that he’s only got 5% battery on an old Nokia brick phone. Dude, that’s probably a day’s worth of charge!
