@Programops it turned out to not be an emergency. It was the accumulation of months of eye strain. Next week I'm going to get new glasses.
I hope this turns out to be nothing, but I'm grateful my employer has a doctor's office on site. They accepted me as a walk-in for a problem with my left eye. The doctor set up an appointment at Henry Ford hospital which I'm going to now. An emergency opthalmologist will either send me the surgery today or give me peace of mind.

Alright, I need something to keep my brain fresh, so time for some learning.
What resources have you used to learn Python? My experience with programming is pretty minimal; I've dinked with C, C++ and Matlab, but have mostly learned how to fix This Problem Right Here instead how to start from scratch to solve many problems.
Boosts welcome, a moderate amount of trying to convince an engineer that they should learn a different language is also allowed.

Building out a resource here for Fediverse instance owners, admins and app developers, who don't want to enable the hate speech racism and worse -- that is #Gab's whole reason for existing. #Mastoadmins #Fediadmin #Gab

By the way, we're now running Mastodon 2.9.3.
"Celebration" is the spiritual successor of those songs, modernized for the attitude of the internet era. The connection will become clear to you if you listen to "Celebration" after watching the Portlandia sketch "Change The World One Party At A Time", skewering the tendency for youth activism to take the form of a dance rave in which to get really f****d up.
"I Should Be Allowed To Think" switched to the perspective of a powerless college-aged revolutionary, referencing "Howl" by Allen Ginsburg, a poem from 1956, and gluing posters to telephone poles.
The narrator character of most They Might Be Giants songs sees the topic of the song through a funhouse mirror. The topic of changing the world is no exception. "Purple Toupee" portrayed an out-of-touch older man who wants to be seen as influential on the world stage, but barely understands events of the mid-twentieth century.
@kernelsnarky Let me know whether you can use erp-unitedshore.icims.com to see job listings.
@sashakovich Would you be available to visit the house on Sunday and maybe help set up some shelves, unbox things, and so forth?

A 3D printed arrow by mathematician and sculptor Kokichi Sugihara uses curves and angles that the brain can't register to make it look like it always points right. https://www.livescience.com/62478-optical-illusion-arrow-mirror-symmetry.html
@rixx I love writing with InForm 7.
