@birdpoof Weird, me too
Public Notice
Lots of reports of crypto spam attacks coming in from multiple instances today.
Seems like the bad guys are getting kinda worried about Mastodon.
Instance admins are taking this very seriously and working hard to fend off the attacks.
What can you do? If you see a crypto scam post, don't engage with it. It's just a bot anyway. If you mute, block and report the post it will help administrators isolate the attacker account.
We got this!

The Right-wing hate-media is telling the reactionaries that electric vehicles are being shoved down their throat, so that's not great..
@PamCrossland@mastodon.world @StillIRise1963 Don't put all your eggs in one basket. The algorithms are getting better, and the mask won't help for much longer. Eventually they will be able to match your face from just the eyes. But there are other things you can do. 3M makes a highly reflective tape that you can put around the frame of your glasses to make it more difficult for the camera to see you. And there are other techniques as well that can be found in various places.
@alexwild I saw it coming for more than 20 years, but they called me an alarmist and wouldn't listen.

You're right I was absolutely shocked to find Perrier & San Pellegrino bottled water amongst many many other European brands on sale in supermarkets in Thailand. What the hell are we thinking of - transporting bottles of water halfway round the damned world!!!
In my local supermarket in Luxembourg, during the run -up to Christmas some years back, I was horrified to see a bottled water brand called 'Bling' on sale. The bottles contained water (allegedly) from a spring in the USA!

I don't know about trees, but in man-made structures, I rarely find C. pennsylvanicus above the second floor. One time though, I did find Pheidole on the 25th floor of a high-rise.
@futurebird Ha! I just came here to post that. I love that show!
