A man files a wrongful death suit against the women who helped his ex-wife obtain medication for an abortion. He is seeking $1M in damages.
We are entering the modern day equivalent of the Salem Witch Trials.

I took this photo a five minute walk from my house. I'm in awe that I live so close to such natural beauty.
This is a young double-crested cormorant.
This one is really worth seeing in higher resolution than mastodon allows. Here's the full-size image: http://carlbergstrom.com/upload/birds/double-crested-cormorant-large.jpg
@ct_bergstrom He's gorgeous and everyone should be sure to click on the link to the full size image. Amazinng
To be clear, the "Wire dog crate" was a 10'x20' chain link dog run. She's actually taking a nap in a 4'x3' dog crate right now, and barely fits.
#DogsofMastadon #dogs #malamute So my dogs have a 1/2 acre fenced dog park. It is about 60ish degrees today, and I have to work online today. A nice day to stay outside, right?
Sky, the malamute, was complaining earlier about being outside but then stopped. All of a sudden, she's at the back door. Did I leave the gate open? Has she learned how to climb fences? Did she eat through the fence as she did with an 10x20 wire dog crate?
No, she dug a 5' long by 3' deep hole and tunneled under the fence. And crap, the dogs have both lost their tags.
Please Sky--don't pull this tomorrow while I'm at work! 
@jurijuri Good for you! Feel better soon

Star Trek fans: Have you made plans to see me on stage in London? Star Trek night at Allegiance is Monday, March 20. They’ll be a special talk back with yours truly afterwards. Get your tickets today!
@jurijuri OH, no. My SO's got the same issue and he at least has some major drugs to get on board. I hope you can get some relief soon.

#MastodonNews Mar 4, 2023
So, this is fun. We are their worst nightmare. Turn's out Mastodon "falls short for businesses" because it lacks "advertising support," says an ad industry publication.
CMSWire: Facebook Is Better for Business Than Mastodon. Here's Why >>> https://www.cmswire.com/digital-marketing/facebook-is-better-for-business-than-mastodon-heres-why/
"Social media has become one of the most powerful tools businesses can leverage for advertising... Mastodon, on the other hand, does not offer an advertising platform to businesses."

@mastodonmigration This amuses me, and so telling on the mentality of those marketing teams.
They’re so used to being able to dictate and force their message in front of people, and see the resulting metrics, that the whole idea of having to interact with (potential) customers as equals just doesn’t seem to compute for them.
If they adapt, I think a lot of businesses could do well here. People discuss and boost stuff that they like and find interesting. Word of mouth at scale.

I love #librarians
After the Patriot Act was passed, it was #librarians who stood up to government intrusion.
They are at it again - this time protecting the right to read. I have made this article available for all to read.
@bluesenthused @Long_live_rock_n_roll I've been trying to find #GerryMcAvoy book "Riding Shotgun" here in the US at a reasonable price and finally found one. That book is literally in the 100's of dollars range here. It must be an import-only book since I could find it with UK booksellers at a reasonable price, but the shipping charges, well, you know.

‘The most common response I get when I talk about dark matter is: “isn’t this just something physicists made up to make the math work out?”
The answer to that might surprise you: yes! In fact, everything in physics is made up to make the math work out.’

@fonecokid @Long_live_rock_n_roll I saw him 3 times on US tours. It was at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, which took your tickets so I never got a souvenir. 
@edcruwys There's a number of archival video available from the BBC. Being in the US, my only option was seeing him live, in those pre-internet days.
@Long_live_rock_n_roll Also, this appearance on #TheOldGreyWhistleTest was on #RoryGallagher 28th birthday. I used to have the video link to this, with an intro by #Slash, but it went private. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJo-EvZhPQo&ab_channel=DAVESTICKLEY-AQUATARKUS

Norwegian story of the day: The Sámi activists in Oslo, protesting windmills on their traditional grazing land, needed chains and locks to lock themselves in place. So the BDSM guys in Scandinavian Leather Men donated what they needed.
