The sun is clearly evil. Sources:
1. Big ball of fire
2. Big ball of fire in the sky, it's always up there
3. You're not allowed to look at it
4. If you take a picture of it, it'll just be a yellowish white circle. You need extra special equipment to even know what it looks like
5. It regularly sees almost everything on the earth, it's always watching
6. So powerful that it turns the moon (a rock) into a fucking mirror that lights up the earth even when the sun can't be there in person

This art from #nin #nineinchnails really resonates with me right now.

Hello coffee, my old friend... and the Fediverse.

Our new UI is more than a fresh coat of paint.

We're also fixing several bugs, improving mobile app coverage, and extending federation support to more implementations!

Shipping soon 🚀 #pixelfed

“Why isn’t the new year on the winter solstice?”

The answer, honestly, is that the Romans had no fucking idea how to run a calendar.

Like, seriously, people notice "OCTOber" and "DECEMber" and say, "hey, those mean 'eight' and 'ten', but they're the 10th and 12th months, what's up with that?".

If you've got a little more history, you'll know that July and August are named after Julius and Augustus Caesar, and think, "oh, they added those two months and bumped the rest of the months back."

Nope. The Romans were way, way worse at calendars than that.
