I dunno about you all, but I spent the long weekend reading.
Highly recommend both books for those looking for a different, less heard perspective on US colonialism, racism, and the for-profit prison and concentration camp systems.
They're fictional escapes from a nonfiction world that can feel too out of control, but they also fill you up with drive to change things and empower you for the fight ahead.

Added a zoom level to the Category page on the Exocortex-Log app. Can make the graphs look a lot cleaner now.
Looking back over the last 100 months here, we can see in general my social life is quite seasonal -- Festivals are a lot of social all weekend long and a couple of them in a month really bumps up the hours from my usual habit of sitting alone in a dark room pressing buttons.
The peak in 2019 is a summer filled with Glasto and Noisily and another festival or camping trip I don’t seem to have recorded the name of.
Then clearly visible is the drop-off in social activity as the COVID pandemic hit. Virtual-Social (IE zoom meetings and the like) picked up quite a bit around there but had died back to almost nothing way before the hours spent with actual people started to tick up.
Annoyingly, I have my biggest gap in data right on top of the pandemic there, where I failed to back up for months and then data became corrupted.
When the data-hole is over we see social life still not really returning until the middle of 2021 and not really getting back into stride until summer 2022.
It remains much lower now on average with lower peaks than before the pandemic too. Multiple reasons.
Work is pretty constant all the way though other than the data-hole. Dipping when I take time off for social mostly.
That data-hole is annoying. Back up your data kids.

Weekend #Plankton Factoid 🦠🦐
Since March is the last week of Antarctic summer, it is appropriate to discuss a 2025 international study of the "seasonal vertical migration pump" which sequesters an enormous 65 million tonnes of carbon every year.

Good Morning #Canada
Most of us are celebrating a long weekend because of #FamilyDay, except Quebec and Newfoundland Labrador. Those two provinces will answer the phones while the rest of Canada is off gallivanting across the country. Family Day was first introduced by Don Getty, Premier of Alberta in 1990. Critics pointed out that he launched the new holiday to distract voters from the fact his son was in trouble with the law, accused of selling cocaine to an undercover narc in an Edmonton motel room. Whatever... we now get a break between January 1st and the May 24 long weekend.
It's a good day to look back on the past 30 years of marriage and family trends. Common-law unions are up while traditional marriages are down. Divorces, particularly among younger couples, has decreased, and we have more single parents today. There is no available data on the impact of Family Day on teenage sons selling illegal drugs.

it seems impossible I'm deeply curious what kids across ages and location do all day (after school and weekend). When my kids were younger I felt a lot of pressure to limit and monitor all technology use. Parents would brag about how they limit time.
But it's really hard to monitor your kids 24/7 because I want to do my own stuff. Also 24/7 monitoring sounds bad. But weekends are long and tech / videos / games can easily fill up so much time.
I've lost track on what i…

@… also, there's the minor inconvenience of packages currently unavailable (for test purposes).
LOL, although I'm prepared to be missing a piece of the jigsaw. Again. It has been a long and somewhat difficult weekend.

Weekend #Plankton Factoid 🦠🦐
Happy New Year everyone. While species are often named out of respect for famous people, one had never been named for a TV series. This changed in 2018 when scientists at University College of London named a Southern Ocean cocolithophorid phytoplankton "Syracosphaera azureaplaneta" after Sir David Attenborough's BBC Blue Planet series. They look lik…

And this week I heard there is not one single seat available between Copenhagen and Hamburg the weekend *before* Easter. That effectively means no-one from anywhere in Scandinavia can travel to the rest of Europe by train, because there isn't enough capacity in the system 🤬
