"Catalans:

Interpretant el sentiment i els anhels del poble que ens acaba de donar el seu sufragi, proclamo la República Catalana"

Francesc Macià

“DeSantis signed the [abortion ban] bill late tonight and released a picture of the signing after 11:00 p.m., when few people would see it. He appears to be trying to appeal to the base while also keeping his actions quiet enough to slide them under the radar screens of non-MAGA voters.”

@KiKiPosting Always two sunny days in every trip.. the day you arrive and the day you leave LOL I drove across Newfoundland on a Motorbike with my wife. It rained non-stop until we gave up and got a motel room to dry off, then it was sunny until the day we got back on the bike

Chicago on one of the first warm nights of the year, nowhere else even comes close.

It's comparatively easy to see a broad tech trend on the horizon, but often much harder to home in on who will win and over what timeframe. Netscape and BlackBerry serve as cautionary tales.

Saw this great comment on reddit: "It's hard for scientists to compete with bullshitting grifters, for many reasons. Scientists have day jobs doing science, whereas grifters spend all their time engaging the public. Scientists mostly feel bound by honesty, and grifters don't."

I know so many of you just came to the Fediverse to escape Elon Musk.

But what if you could escape Mark Zuckerberg too?

And not just Musk and Zuckerberg, but all the VCs that fund their shenanigans too?

Let’s think bigger than Twitter. Let’s take down Big Social. Don’t just prune Big Social’s branches, pull it out by its roots.

A Massachusetts Air National Guard member who has emerged as a main person of interest in the disclosure of highly classified military documents on the Ukraine war was taken into custody Thursday by federal agents. https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cq_oDH2O5Wl/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y%3D #voanews #voiceofamerica

"A mom on carpool duty. A social worker offering help. Empty nesters who are providing an extra bedroom. All of these folks would have to decide to either take a pass on helping those in need or risk a felony prosecution." https://plus.thebulwark.com/p/ron-desantis-insidious-immigration-bill

In positive news, my daughter is a teacher and her classroom geckos hatched. Please enjoy this photo of a newborn gecko.

I reached out to Texas Public Radio on Twitter this morning about considering Mastodon and it turns out they do have an account! Please join me in welcoming @TPR! I'm very excited to see them here! #TPR #Texas #NPR

Transphobes are hosting a film screening on April 21 at an event space in North #Austin suburbs. Please call and tell them not to support hate. Politely ask them to take a stand against bigotry. #Transphobia #LGBTQIA #Texas #transgender #TERFs

I seem to have a thing for sea turtles.

Doug Ford & MPP Kinga Surma have been working on a plan to destroy Ont Science Centre & hand over the land to developers since 2019.. but they only told the public about this TODAY (4 years later)?
Another Greenbelt-style land giveaway?
Worse, Ana Bailão acting like *her* plan to put the Science Centre at #OntarioPlace is some kind of new idea, when its been around since 2019.. meaning that she herself likely knew about the plan for 3 years while at city hall w John Tory.

Keep it rolling: a major software update for the @MarsCuriosity rover will enable the robotic geologist to drive faster, reduce wear and tear on its wheels, and do more of what the team calls “thinking while driving.” Details: https://go.nasa.gov/43Id7Ls

Thanks to @georgetakei
So the Supreme Court got paid much less?

Gov. Phil Murphy has announced New Jersey is a "safe haven" for those needing gender-affirming care. As the transgender community faces a blitzkrieg of violence and hate, New Jersey is building a new Underground Railroad.
