Couple of new blog posts:
* xkcd-for-my-daughter: a list of XKCD strips, which were the most relevant for me. * enemies-to-friends: most “Enemies to friends” stories are just incredibly stupid. * hinny_dump: just a disorganized dump of Hinny stories * huna_drinny: one of plot bunnies, which I would like to read fulfilled, but I certainly cannot do so myself. * james-potter-werewolf-incident: it is just impossible of events happened how they are described in canon, JKR had to make a mistake in ordering those two sub-stories, otherwise James Potter would be quite a monster. * lords-supper-and-magic: I have never understood why the idea of magic should be against the Christian faith.

+
+So, you have admitted that you don’t know what XKCD_ is. That
+is totally unacceptable that my daughter, breath of my life,
+wouldn’t know enough about the site which formed so much of my
+life. Of course, most of it is just a joke, but plenty of those
+comics had actual serious impact on my life.
+
+Without much order, just as I am recalling them, these are some
+comics which may be worthy of mentioning:
+
+* https://xkcd.com/2347/ … we had another scare over this Easter
+ when one of such libraries (xz_ compression library) was
+ compromised by a trickster, who abused overworked (and mentally
+ not completely stable) maintainer to the level, he got access
+ to the library itself and then he tried to spread a nasty code
+ with it. This is actually much more real, than we would like to
+ admit.
+
+* https://xkcd.com/1782/ … I was mentioning IRC_ to you.
+
+* https://xkcd.com/2365/ … this is slightly old (2020-09-29), but
+ too right to be funny
+
+* https://xkcd.com/927/ … again and again and again; there is no
+ hope for humanity
+
+* https://xkcd.com/1172/ … this is probably too geeky, but I have
+ many examples from my programming/packaging life for this
+
+* https://xkcd.com/743/ … when they made jokes about it in
+ 2010-05-21, one could hope that people learn? Right.
+
+* https://xkcd.com/386/ … no comment
+
+* https://xkcd.com/285/ … this one is ancient, but how many times
+ I was thinking about it?
+
+* https://xkcd.com/353/ … if you run `import antigravity` in any
+ Python interpreter, this is what you get.
+
+* https://xkcd.com/314/ … “Come on. Somewhere at the edge of the
+ Bell curve is the girl for me.” That’s the line Shakespeare and
+ Nora Ephron would love to write.
+
+* https://xkcd.com/258/ … I found this one just randomly now, but
+ it is awesome!
+
+* https://xkcd.com/2102/ … how many video archives exist only on
+ YouTube?
+
+* https://xkcd.com/327/ … the best explanation of SQL Injection
+ I have read anywhere
+
+* https://xkcd.com/221/ … this is unfair, the author shows our
+ deepest secrets to the public!
+
+* … I will never admit how many hours I spent clicking on the
+ “[Random]” button.
