Just a reminder that Donald Trump got banned for using Twitter to attempt a violent overthrow of our government.

I'm grateful that mastodon has been a great experience. It gives me hope that there are still decent people in the world. #humanity #kindness

Only Elon Musk could boast about community efforts to combat misinformation, after he just invited the biggest misinforming slop mongers on this planet to come to Twitter and make themselves at home.

We must be living in a simulation. Reality just isn’t this crazy.

Tax the super-rich. They won’t notice if their eighth yacht is suddenly unavailable.

My boy. ❤️

New research looks at the effects of repeated Covid infections and finds pretty much what you would expect: you not only do not get any kind of superimmunity, you increase your risk of long-term consequences, hospitalization and death. The worse news is that this holds true regardless of vaccination status.

This is not over. Please take care. Mask up.

I want to tell everyone how much better #Mastodon is than other social media... but it's the only social media I do anymore and I'm assuming you guys kinda already know, so... um... *sigh*

Me: (posts something a bit personal, hoping people will see/connect with it)
A bunch of people: (see it and interact with it)
Me:

Say you were the lone cybersecurity person at a mid size business. Say you were working on audit remediations with your lone sysadmin at said business. Say you explained a remediation was to address a privilege escalation and your sysadmin laughed and said “privilege escalation? That’s a new one, did you make that up?”

Would you be….concerned? 🤨

I know when Covid is surging badly here when one-by-one my co-workers are getting it.

It is getting harded to convince non-health worker folks to get tested. But since it semi-required if symptomatic (written policy but some people still get way with it) at my workplace, my co-workers and I still get tested.

11 days to more sunlight. It will be so nice not to feel like midnight has arrived by 8pm. I keep seeing tags for #JoinIn, which I'm sure is an excellent thing. But I'd like to find my tribe who is just enduring until the holidays are over. I am officially NOT participating. All I can think of is to keep referring to my longing for #spring. G'nite to all.

increasingly, I believe that the destruction of Musk's Twitter is crucial for the preservation of American democracy. I was neutral on this until the past few days. But it's now obvious that his intentions -- and actions -- are aimed in part at promoting right-wing extremism.

The Murdoch family is still the greater threat, but Musk looks set to supersede them as a force for evil.

What kind of a man, said to be the world’s richest, spends $44 billion to give a platform for racists, antisemites, white nationalists and others to spread hate and abuse? What kind of man defends a man who abuses his power to incite violence and end the peaceful transfer of power?

We have been making gingerbread houses for decades with children in the family. Here is a before and after of this year's house, made with my grand-niece and -nephew.

« Am I glowing enough for you ? » We got the sun back today, which was nice, after a few days of rains and clouds. It was great to see this Northern Cardinal glowing under a bright sunlight earlier today. #birdwatching #birds #birdphotography #NaturePhotography #ottawa #BirdOfMastodon #nature #ottawa #wildlife #cardinal
