@JoParkerBear Yes. Back on the bird site, it took me a while to realize that posts from people I followed weren't showing up. So I took to manually checking the profiles of my favorite people so I didn't miss anything. That's bullshit.

Today I helped take down (temporarily) an antenna from the top of the PREOC building because they are installing solar panels over the whole roof. We were going to put up the other HF antenna that was taken down on the lower roof for the same reason a year ago. Could not do it because the company doing the roofing and panels did not think about the radio antennas and put obstacles in our way. For the present time, our PREOC has no functioning radios. It's time the powers that be took this situation more seriously. No one seems to think radios are important anymore until they need them/us.

@olavf Haha! Not quite the same but I made a batch of hummus yesterday and it's gone already. My daughter, who insisted she hated hummus, loves mine. So I'll make more tomorrow.

@Miriamm Hah, yeah. Even though I quit drinking beer regularly 18 months ago, I went out and bought a case of Bud Light just to do my part.

@w7voa Oh man, that hurts.Not just an icon in Canada. He wrote one of the greatest songs ever recorded.

Lightfoot is Bob Dylan's favorite songwriter. Dylan said the only thing wrong with a Gordon Lightfoot song is that it has to end.

My number one #Mastodon tip for people is to boost more!

Discovery sucks on Mastodon, which is partially by design, but it also means it’s hard to find new and interesting people here. If you see something cool, reach for that boost button as well!

Weather forecast here: rain ahead then 70 percent chance of snow on Wednesday. 77F Next Monday. It's so cool to be living out an apocalyptic science fiction story. (Not!)

@karlauerbach Yes, I figured you'd recognize some of it and enjoy the video. I paged you over on Diaspora.

It takes a lot of time to do all the drone shots and videography. I imagine that 20 miles into the ride he realized it would take him five days to finish the course at that pace. He had to dispense with it and focus on covering ground.

I'm very impressed with what he produced by himself, essentially on the fly. He could probably find work in Hollywood.

MP Scott Benton, bargain basement puppy

The news that a politician has received donations or gifts is nothing new. It is also no surprise that shortly afterwards a politician has spoken out on a debate in support of the group that has been so generous. What can be surprising are the sums involved.

In the recent debates about the changes to the gambling laws MP Sc

@SpockResists Well said. I would add "and diversity in general". Diversity increases the flow of ideas which is the lifeblood of a vigorous society. The alternative is stagnation and even retrogression.

“Wikipedia will not perform #OnlineSafetyBill age checks”

I had a long chat with Chris at the BBC about this, wondering how many other popular sites will be stifled or incentivised to abandon UK users.

Quite amazing to think that a reference tool like an encyclopaedia might be compelled to check its users’ papers, and that there are still some people saying that this is fine.

This is really important. Musk’s entire rationale for buying Twitter was to reduce censorship, but it was all BS.

This is MAGA mouthpiece Steven Crowder demanding respect from his heavily-pregnant wife b/c she won't do what he says.

She filed for divorce and he went on a rant about the injustice of Texas law that ALLOWS her to divorce him without his permission.

...

He seems nice.

@cobalt Hah. Yeah, 12 hours non-stop, no breaks, as a chef in a busy restaurant. It's on your feet physical like playing basketball for 12 hours straight. Keeps me young. I also fast for that 2 day stretch which has been shown to be healthful. People guess my age as 40s. I'm 70. Lol. As far as how, I don't know. You just do it. You have to want to.
