This is just a reminder that trains in the Netherlands have run on wind power since 2017.
If we want to, we really can have nice things:

If you're shocked TX Gov Abbot is planning to pardon Daniel Perry for murdering a man at a peaceful BLM march—just remember—TX is the state that sentenced a Black woman to 5 years for an uncounted ballot, but not a white male judge for deliberate voter fraud—in the same County. TX sentenced a Black kid to 10 years for punching & killing 1 person, but not an affluent white teen for getting drunk & killing 4—they had the same judge
Texas GOP has proudly chosen fascism over democracy. Believe them
@snarkysteff Wow! That sounds wonderful. I wish we were neighbors. Haha.
@ai6yr No doubt. A surprisingly large amount of information can be gleaned and deduced simply for watching ship movements.
@ai6yr Hmm. I'm surprised this camera was ever allowed at all. Who needs HUMINT when you can sit in Moscow and watch a webcam that the silly Americans installed for you?

#USPol The moral of the fascist discord leaker is that fascism, racism, antisemitism, and misogyny are security risks. People who are dedicated to those things will harm your organization in pursuit of their fucked-up ideology, and you should not wait for them to do so before you show them the door.
@notpike Uh, well, in the pocket is exactly how welders learn the hard way. Tiny particles (and larger particles) of molten metal fly everywhere including into your shoes (quite exciting) and into your pocket where the lighter is, necesitating a lot of pain and a stay in the hospital.
Pocket lighters need to be far away from sparky things like welding and thermite.

imagine if every local NPR station ran its own mastodon instance & devoted it to foregrounding precisely the local issues that local NPR stations tend to be so good at covering in a way that almost no other outlet does
