#BirdTwitter probably a stupid ID question. Wife says it’s a brown pigeon. I say the beak is all wrong, it’s alone and walking around fearlessly in my yard. I’m thinking it’s a new discovery and will be named after me.
The world is in crisis. Our democracy is in crisis. My self care for the day has been to write a little #Python script that removes the Calibre-generated directory names from my ebook library. #calibre #codingmemes

@LearnWithHOMER #reading #learning #Kindergarten Kinder starts in 5 months and we just finished Homer! Where do we go from here? We’ve got High5 and Ranger Rick but they’re just reading. Any similar learning apps that pick up where Homer ends?

@LearnWithHOMER Specifically, long vowels and diphthongs. That would be so much easier with edutainment like Homer than struggling thru RR articles trying to explain rules as we go.

Seems like #Starfall has some decent content on short and long vowels. Not the same quality as @LearnWithHOMER, but you take what you can get. Step up, Homer!
Watching #CaptainAmerica Winter Soldier for the first time and I’m struck by SHIELD’s poor network security practices and segregation of duties. That’s a much bigger threat than Hydra. Just sayin

Ah annual review time! While it often feels like an exercise in writing a narrative that justifies an already-made decision about how much of a bonus to give you- reviews for 2020 feel a little more absurd. #work @AskAManager @JillWohlner

#django #Python Feels like this should be easy: I have a generic ListView. I want to put a link to detail view around object.title. When I do, the name of the title disappears and I get a link around {{ object.title }}. Where do the <a> tags go?

Ended up putting it around the div. not super elegant as it makes the entire header the link instead of the title but at least it works...
#baking #bread @kingarthurflour I have a recipe for Apollonia Poilane’s pain de mie that calls for an 11x4 Pullman loaf pan. I only have a 13x4. How do I adapt the recipe? My pan is 1.18 the vol of hers. Do I: 1/2

#pythonlearning I have a list of 20 non-unique items. I want a list of any 5 unique items from that list. What’s a better way than: x = set(list1) y = list(x) z = y[0:5]? #Python
