One of the greatest images of Christmas cheer ever assembled from the flotsam and effluvia of our culture. (Also the cover of _Christmas Curiosities_ by John Grossman which is responsible for getting me into this in the first place.)


Critical Thinking by Richard Parker & Brooke Noel Moore, 2020

In this new edition the authors have expanded on how to improve information acquisitions skills and recognize dubious claims, gravely important in this current climate of “fake news.” In addition, they have revised and expanded the distinction between subjective judgments and objective claims and revamped their explanation of inductive reasoning into four different types.

Today, I created a backup of all important files on my hard drive. I'll wait a few days to ensure I didn't miss any files and for the release of #Linux Mint 22.1 before upgrading my main computer. I'm still running #LinuxMint 20 on it.

here are some more I'd like to add:
- GNU Emacs
- GNOME Boxes

The press eats up Trump performatively breaking “the rules,” wrasslin' style. Democrats need more of that kind of show if they expect to compete. Or they can sit and watch Republicans hang truck nuts on America’s trailer hitch.

Escape From Sobibor by Richard Rashke, 1982

On October 14, l943, six hundred Jews imprisoned in #Sobibor, a secret Nazi death camp in eastern Poland, revolted. They killed a dozen SS officers and guards, trampled the barbed wire fences, and raced across an open field filled with anti-tank mines. Against all odds, more than three hundred made it safely into the woods. Fifty of those men and women managed to survive the rest of the war.
