Favourite books I've read so far this year:

  • Shuggie Bain
  • Juno Loves Legs
  • Notes on an Execution
  • The Mountain in the Sea
  • I Who Have Never Known Men

Currently taking a break from inhaling the Expanse series to read The Water Dancer by Ta-Nehisi Coates.

@ldodds
From your list, I've only read "Shuggie Bain". I enjoyed it a great deal.
Currently, I"m in the middle of "Tom Jones", by Henry Fielding. I guess it's a book that I will be only able to read during vacation, since it's quite long and I don't think it is suitable for intermitent reading.
What do you think, is there such thing as "read-only-on-vacation" books?

@GelatDeTramussos @bookstodon yes definitely. Some require concentration and some are just a treat

Here is a statement from a West Virginia Linguistics professor whose entire department has been eliminated. It provides additional context to the Provost's decision to cancel 38 majors and the tenure and untenured faculty lines associated with them.

Touhou 19 is out on @steam !

Let's show ZUN our support for releasing his games on Steam and Comiket at the same time.

For years it really did seem impossible to get the series released in the west. We had to wait for a guy to go to the con and upload it, which would then get shared on DoujinStyle and the like. Nowadays Steam releases of Touhou games are more common and it's great to see.

I’m mostly an outsider to the whole Touhou phenomenon apart from enjoying the music but it’s always nice to see games that would otherwise be doujin only available through official channels. And on release, no less! Cool stuff for sure.
The lukewarm reviews don’t make it seem like a great entry on its own so perhaps not the best starting point for someone who’s casually interested but still, I’ll definitely take a better look later.

Shifted to MX Linux, based on Debian, with Xfce desktop. Looks not bad in my opinion, but let's see how it goes. @thelinuxEXP @linux @Linux @debian

pradeepmalarvannan OP ,
@pradeepmalarvannan@ohai.social avatar

@thelinuxEXP @linux @Linux @debian A small update. For some reason, MX Linux has a lot of issues while installing software like RStudio, Discord etc. If I can't fix those somehow, I might hop distro again.

Update: Switched to Lubuntu to have an experience of LXQT. Let's hope it doesn't have those issues.

Friend and I have picked up on Lara Croft and the Guardian Light again! We made it past The Toxic Swamp tonight. I forgot how much fun this game was! Even after a decade this holds up in 4K.

@ChrisPirillo #1, also with the modification of Kraft superiority. No way would an Atari stick work as well for games needing either precision movement or that crazy back and forth that Epyx Olympic games required.

[OC] Monjuïc Castle

Yesterday, we took a funicular (not pictured, unfortunately) and a cable car up to the Monjuïc Castle fortress. It's an impressive structure with excellent views of the city and there's an active park on the surrounding grounds, but it has a dark history. On multiple occasions, its cannon have been turned on the city below to administer collective punishment for resistance to the crown in Madrid. The fortress has also been the site of numerous atrocities. Look up the Bombardment of Barcelona (1842) for example.

@pics

One of the fort's ramparts. This shot reminds me of the forts in San Juan.
A view of the Barcelona coast from the gondola ride up to the fort.
A view of the massive seaport to the southwest of the fort. A big gun on a turret is visible in the foreground.
Another view of the Barcelona coast from the fort.
One of the forts towers with a mast on top.
A big gun with graffiti on it.
Another big gun with graffiti on it. One noticable line reads "puerto rico".

They are probably from the Spanish civil war. The fort was still used as a military facility during the war: …barcelona.cat/…/castle-during-second-republic-an…

I loved the funicular to get up there when i visited. What a great view. It was also neat seeing the evolution of the fortress
