I'm back on Firefox. Because we can't have nice things, but I guess we can have Firefox in the interim. (Sorry, Mozilla, FF is always great, until you change stuff and it isn't for a while, and then it will be great again, etc. But it's the lesser of the current evils. Not ready to try DDG's as it's based on Edge WebView2)

Case in point... LinkedIn:

Time for the Flower of the Day, this Morning Glory shot at an isolated garden on Second Avenue, between East 3rd and East 2nd. A metal fence is what lies between the garden and the sidewalk.

Morning Glories always appear to have a light bulb inside, and out of view, which lights them up... 💕

Biden and the White House join Threads

The White House has joined Threads with a variety of new accounts. The government announced accounts for President Biden, first lady Jill Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and second gentleman Doug Emhoff, as well as accounts for the White House and a Spanish version, La Casa Blanca.

The move comes after a week in which Elon Musk continued his descent into white nationalism and antisemitism, as well as major advertisers fleeing the platform after having their ads placed next to nazi posts.

The White House has condemned Musks posts as “unacceptable”. The Hill reports that the move towards Threads has been in the work for several weeks. While the latest controversies might be a good confirmation for the White House, it does not seem like it might be the direct reason.

Overall this should boost Threads uptake significantly, with it being endorsed by the most powerful political figures. One thing to watch for his how politicians from both sides of the political spectrum will approach this move. For democratic politicians there is now a significant incentive to follow Biden to Threads. Republicans have been aligning themselves more closely with Elon Musk however, and might be less incentivised to join another platform.

Over the weekend #Israel teased a #ceasefire, #SaudiArabia assured everyone a deal will be made, and instead today they killed a bunch more children.

Biden just released another statement that a #ceasefire was near. I will believe it when I see it.

Weather forecasting in 2023:
Completely failed to predict that rain downpour in Edmonton this evening, probably because their predictive models have no idea what to do with extended warm spells this late in November.

Also weather forecasting in 2023:
When I opened the bar door to discover the rain I wasn't dressed for, I was able to check my phone & see that it was only expected to last another 4 minutes. Sat down, had a snack, then walked home in fresh mild air, without soaken clothes.
