"Public investment" vs "Wasteful Subsidy." The only problem with this clever classic Singer cartoon is that some people might not get that it’s illustrating the perception problem, NOT telling the truth.
Just in case it actually needs to be said, the truth is exactly the opposite.

If we had a functioning Congress, we'd pass a revised Clean Water Act that explicitly covers wetlands and groundwater.
This is our drinking water, and Republicans just green-lighted poisoning it, and poisoning us.
Party of death.

In 2015 the first wolf entered the Netherlands. For more than a hundred years there were no wolves due to hunting them all down. But in 2019 the first cubs were born here and since then we’ve had multiple packs staying and growing.
Wildlife is rebalancing, not just other animals, but also plant life.
It’s the best thing that has happened to our local nature in the last decade.

Today's #RuralBroadband installation in a very sad place. This customer has no dogs, not even one. Usually we have some wonderful canine assistants, like here: https://qoto.org/@szescstopni/110255636249913201
Here's a picture of this setup from afar, taken a few months ago :) https://qoto.org/@szescstopni/109972957212151798
A detail of our #RuralBroadband test setup.
The tiny house that is our home, office, and workshop, is surrounded by trees. Sometimes we need to test terminals that connect our clients to the base transceiver stations, and we need to put them as high as possible, to avoid any obstacles (usually this means trees).
This is a picture of the side of a 1 ton water tank, covered with algae on the inside, which gathers rainfall from the rain gutter. We use this water for watering the garden and for putting out an occasional #bonfire. Also it's nice to have two thousand litres of water (there's a second tank on the other side of the house) in case the dry #forest to the west of us catches fire.
A piece of a drainage pipe is attached to the metal cage of the water tank with zip ties. We attach the terminal to an old 16 ft windsurfing mast, raise it and stick it into the pipe. There are better ways to stabilize the mast in the pipe, but today the best thing lying around was this #moose bone we found in the forest (that dry forest to the west) a few years ago.

On May 4th, SS admits what happened (which you probably already figured out, even if you missed the header toot). It was ChatGPT. The declaration here is just too amazing not to provide you with it directly.

Are you just catching up on the bonkers story about the lawyer using ChatGPT for federal court filings? This is a thread for you.
