Caught myself at the last moment – wanted to give someone advice, but there was no direct question in their toot, so I just gave it a star and stayed silent. They'll find their way.

One of the challenges of social media -- and this stretches all the way back before the term was even coined and applies to email as well, is to remember that you are communicating with actual human beings with their own lives, loves, worries, and so much more. Except when there's a damned AI robot at the other end.

All self-aware communities on #Fediverse should suspend #Threads just as @aral has done. There's no need for a toxic corporate experiment with the aim to expand the monetisation of #HumanRights violations. #Privacy

Why does google do this? If it's blocked in robots.txt it means don't bloody index it!!!!
A rare sighting of all the five members of the #IdąPsięta pack walking together.
Today it decided to switch to a different mode, though I'm not sure it's autumn or early spring mode.

I have a few "impossible numbers", like 02000 numbers, i.e. London numbers starting 0. I often wonder what would be the best way to answer them as if someone was accidentally calling Q or M...

For my Christmas morning, I got to unwrap two goats from a hay net (they are totally fine. They were happily eating inside the hay net and seemed blissfully unaware that they were trapped.)

Reuters has taken down -- globally -- an important hacking-for-profit investigation that included details about an Indian hacking "entrepreneur" -- because he got a court in that country to say so.
This is a huge danger to free speech and serious journalism.
Reuters deserved praise for its initial investigation. It deserves the opposite now.
(The New Yorker is apparently one of the few publications that hasn't bowed to the pressure.

Merry Mosstmas to all who celebrate. May your year be filled with the beautiful green of hydrated moss and the wonder of the different forms moss takes.

This is part of a larger project -- a Toronto guy found an LP of Alvin and the Chipmunks covering pop songs
The guy had an old record player that could play at 16 RPM
So he played them all

The version of Tom Petty's "Refugee" will haunt your dreams
I wept with uncontrollable laughter for the first two minutes of "Jesse's Girl"
Some of them are not enjoying it that much. This type of snow tends to stick to Bruno's paws, making walking difficult. He has to stop now and then and tries to bite them off, but it's a hopeless struggle. We'll get those clumps off when we get back home.
This #wetland meadow will be brown and green tomorrow. #IdąPsięta are enjoying the snow while it's still here.
