Today has been the worst tease, with the weather forecast *repeatedly* asserting it's *just about* to hammer down with heavy rain, any second now, both keeping me indoors and hopeful for that soothing indoors-in-the-rain aesthetic.
It's now 1:26 AM. It's been dry all day.

And for identifying that last one, thanks Zoë for this handy site: http://www.wildflowersofireland.net/plant_detail.php?id_flower=158&wildflower=Mallow%20Common
Nice day today.
(Let's not count that the sign just out of shot warns you "don't swim here, it's too polluted".)
Also, rescued a bee from a path. Watch out for exhausted bugs in bad places.

Yeah sex is cool but have you tried an original IBM PC power switch *clunk* #retrocomputing
Just had a pretty amazing game of ROOT.
Four mostly-insurgency factions.
One mostly-counter-insurgency.
The latter did not fare well.

It's been estimated that today's #Cloudflare outage is effecting about 10% of all websites world-wide.
If a lot of your online world is down right now, your word and research topic for the day is #decentralization
Valve are going to leave it until right near the end of the #Steam summer sale, then all the people who've piled on (rightly) pushing Corgi to an unassailable lead are going to hear that most dreaded phrase:
Teams Have Been Auto-Balanced
Remembered to go check out one of the attempts at distributed-federated-E2E-encrypted-chat, but Firefox apparently read the matrix.org domain-name and decided to go full information superhighway-punk on the error message:
Advantage of cycling through unexpected heavy showers: when the sun comes out and catches the droplets on your glasses, you get ~magical rainbow vision everywhere~ .
Happy Pride Month? 
This Super Metroid/Link to the Past cross-randomizer is crazy. I'm kind of impressed there's sufficient differences in memory layout to multitask them, and then there's inventory cross-sync and mapping the item sprites and descriptions between them on top of that. #SGDQ2019
(Also Patti(?)'s a great snarky commentator.)
Poking the kind of darkness with a stick indeed. #SGDQ2019
Honestly it's pretty great. (Grand Poo World 2.)
This Mario ROM hack is so full of helpful things! #SGDQ2019
This is kinda a fun toy:

My year contains both the information superhighway and nuclear winter.
