"Dad, what is black Friday?"

"It's when you get a reminder about every marketing database you're still in."

Another picture from my Flickr albums, this time from a walk in the City of London. This Turkish bath house was built in 1895 and is now surrounded, and dwarfed, by modern office blocks.

Well, I know one turkey that Biden should NEVER pardon.

Journalists interested in sharing news with nonfollowers across timelines and instances could start rigorously using a simple hashtag like #news when sharing their work, with additional topic tags when warranted. #breakingnews for urgency. You can set up Mastodon to show you specific hashtags (or ignore them if this is not your thing).

Which #instance should I be on? Where are most of #nature folk hanging out?

This feels appropriate for the second thing I've ever posted to mastodon.

In hindsight, having 27% of the players on the pitch called 'Martínez' was always going to be a problem for Argentina.

Hard to play free-flowing football when you have to clarify who each pass is for.

Shop fronts in Japan are some of the most interesting things to shoot. There's always something that draws your eye, however small.

Let me know what you notice in each of these!

We keep being told that Mastodon doesn't have an algorithm that responds to likes and boosts. This is true. However, if you read something you like and respond with a "like" or "boost" then the author should get a notification. And if the author's anything like me, that will encourage them to post more of that sort of thing. So you should then see more of that sort of thing in your feed.

Sounds like an algorithm to me. A good algorithm.

Timeline cleanse....

Someone really likes leaves.

That #MondayMorning feeling? Reasons recorded for worker absence on this 3,200 year-old ancient Egyptian attendance register include 'embalming brother', ‘brewing beer', and 'stung by a scorpion’! 😉 From Deir el-Medina. 📷 my own.

Second survey of the year for the lichen Teloschistes chrysophthalmus, this time on Castle Hill NNR, Brighton, Sussex. They're found on a few Hawthorn trees here.

The photos show how variable the lichen can be. In the top 2 photos the lichen has few apothecia (spore-producing fruits) and a lot of spiky edges called spinules, which make it look like a small fluffy ball from a distance. The bottom photos show the more commonly found bright orange fruits. #LichenSubscribe #lichen #fungi

Got my first hearing aids this afternoon. Everything sounds very strange now, bordering on "tinny". I suppose I'll get used to it eventually.

Meanwhile, my Nokia 1 phone isn't up to running the hearing aids' control app. Any recommendations for an Android phone with small screen and no bloatware?
