I'm on #Twitter for two minutes and immediately see a tweet from an anti-vaxx/anti-mask #FoxNews anchor bragging about frying her eggs in beef fat to "spite" Bill Gates.

Advertisers, if you want to pitch your product to a rapt audience of vapid ignoramuses, Twitter is waiting for you.

Hi Mastodon! I built a random comic generator that makes horrible comics about therapy. It's NSFW and, well .. horrible. If you generate a good one, post it in the comments.

Some #mosstodon on #ThickTrunkThursday

@pluralistic wow. Both the OGL and the John Deere "fuckery" are just breathtaking. Mass has a Right To Repair law but it's been on the books for a couple years now and nothing has happened because the manufacturers say it is "too hard" to implement. Doesn't seem right, does it?

Some people think we are a bit quirky at A&A, but I think this is a new level. See the last board on https://www.aa.net.uk/etc/circuit-boards/

Investigation: Oil giants in Canada who ‘make more money than God’ lobbied the federal government and got $2.6 billion in taxpayer dollars
"Because there are numerous loopholes, the numbers pulled from the federal lobbying registry may only be the tip of the iceberg."

FUTURE HISTORIANS: As the arctic ice sheets began melting, fascism was on the rise worldwide, and COVID19 was mutating into more deadly variants, what were Missouri #Republicans concerned about?

A beaver that has just emerged from the South Saskatchewan River, after tumbling over the weir in Saskatoon. In the first picture he seems to be summoning the force to acquire that stick in front of him. I love the mini bow-wave he creates as he enters the water in the second picture.

My dad reports that all of the #beaver dams along Auberry Road in the foothills of #FresnoCounty #California are completely gone. He said they washed out during the various #atmosphericRiver events of the last few weeks. He indicated the creek water level is 5 feet above normal right now and the debris in the trees looks like the flood crest was 10 feet above normal which for a relatively small creek is quite something. I hope the beavers survived and rebuild!

I am finding those clips with Russian random people fascinating. I know they are probably nothing close to reliable represenation of the society, but there is some quality content there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43YoxgJF3Rk

Android people — do you know if I will corrupt my file system if I do image moving work with my phone attached to my PC (because that will make things easier to see, etc)?

It took 250 odd years for his deathbed plea- that his corpse not be put on display for the public amusement of rich toffs- be respect. RIP Charles.
