MY UKRAINIAN FRIENDS
I know you're tired - exhausted really
But the struggle continues
And the world is with you
This too shall pass and you will find peace at the end of your struggles
Ukraine will win. Ukraine WILL win...UKRAINE WILL WIN❤️❤️❤️
Rest tonight if you must, but fight again tomorrow.

@Npars01 God knows how long he was on the air before I read he was Gloria Vanderbilt's son.
Got the impression we weren't supposed to know that.
I was looking at old photos and came across this one. As a pilot program, they replaced the streetlights with red lights. That reduce light pollution, killed fewer insects and reduced the impact of lights on wildlife.
It was a little weird at first but after a day, it was just felt normal, and it worked well for night vision. I actually think I saw better under the red lights than normal street lights.
FL braces for impacts of @govrondesantis’s anti-immigrant campaign strategy, which is now state law.
Builders had already been expressing fears about labor shortage, saying projects are being delayed as a result.
Now bc of Ron, “workers are leaving, thinking they’re going to be deported, so they’re going to other states,” one construction worker said.
I just browsed Explore and read a popular toot that was celebrating the suspension of another account because the suspended account makes $87 per month on Patreon and also tried to make money (it looks rather unsuccessful) by selling NFTs of their own work something like seven months ago, likely when NFTs were a thing.
They. Were. Celebrating. The. Suspension. — which turns out to have been a mistake that Stux fixed.
Good grief, Mastodon.
This is how geologists collect lava samples from an active volcano.
Chemical analysis of lava provides important information about activity deep inside a volcano's magma chambers.

CNN brass is furious that one of its employees, who writes a newsletter about media happenings, told the truth about the channel's PR-for-Trump event. https://www.mediaite.com/news/cnns-oliver-darcy-reportedly-scolded-by-boss-chris-licht-over-emotional-trump-town-hall-coverage-they-put-the-fear-of-god-into-him/
The newsletter is called "Reliable Sources," and its former reporter was also punished by the channel for daring to tell the truth.
“First, they froze nursing wages so nurses quit en masse. Then, public hospitals had to rely on for-profit nursing agencies. Finally, they allowed for-profit nursing agencies to jack up the prices. This is how they're undermining #Ontario’s public healthcare system.
At #Toronto’s UHN Hospital, nursing agency expenditures totalled nearly $7M in 2022, a sharp increase from $775,926 it spent in 2021.” #Bill60 #dofo #onpoli @amitaryamd https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/cost-nursing-agencies-1.6839273

29. I LOVE the edit feature
30. I LOVE the diversity of the number of iPhone apps available
31. I am in love with elk.zone and do most of my desktop stuff there
32. I am trying to remember to always post ALT image descriptions for the vision-impaired but don't always remember to do so, and for that I apologize
33. I still get a thrill when new people follow me
34. I've been online since 1982, and I would rank this place within the top 5 of all time for me (that's a lot of online networking I've done)
35. I'm surprised we haven't seen more 'spin-up-a-single-user' instance options like I thought we would
36. I'm surprised there isn't more corporate and news media instances here
37. That makes me realize inertia is a powerful drug
38. I do want a Bluesky invite since it is my job to try out new things
39. My Daily Inspiration post now goes out to 14 social media sites/mailing lists each morning - it's quite a routine - so I'm not trying to add more new ones
40. I really don't know if Mastodon will grow beyond where it is, but it doesn't matter, because, as I said, I like it here
41. I intitally failed to get Elasticsearch running on my server but went at it again after 2 months and it works
42. I have a little program, glances, on my server, and this is what it looks like right now
43. One of the things I love about the Fediverse is the number of tech people here. Tech is my hobby; I relax in root. So, it's nice

@lovelylovely she worked for Tucker and pursued Trump herself to get him on CNN. She is garbage, the network is garbage, and so few people care to expose this. This country is way more right wing than it thinks it is.
Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
