This day in history. 1846. Mormon leader Brigham Young led his followers into the west where a man was free to believe any bogus nutbaggery he so chose.

Introducing my hobby coding project since xmas:

Mastotron!

It's a different interface to Mastodon, replacing the mindless "feed" of most social media with a network map of conversations and recent and popular posts.

👉 You can download it here: https://github.com/quadrismegistus/mastotron 🖖

There's easy, double-click installation for Mac and Linux; Windows is a bit trickier for now.

This is b new, so bound to be bugs. But if you can, give it a whirl, and let me know if it works and what you'd like to see!

The brain is a truly overrated organ

Your heart just pumps away
Your lungs
Your kidneys
Your stomach

They just get on with it, mostly

But no, the brain 'blah blah blah, oooo look, a thing, babble babble...'

"You don’t get to pretend to be a champion for free speech, pointing to it as an issue that must be fought for, as an issue that can’t wait… while also referring to book bans as 'identity politics for librarians.' "

"Google & Microsoft have decided that for their survival we users must be surrounded by synthetic B.S. artists, continually confusing fact & fiction so subtly and so thoroughly that truth becomes lost in noise and nearly unknowable..."

@TheOldGuy Why would ANY American recognize the authority of a #SCOTUS judge that perjured themselves? Laws for thee, not me? Or one that had over 4,500 FBI tips covered up? F the #IllegitimateSCOTUS

Since it is Superb Owl Week, I'm throwing it back to when I was caretaker for Earl Gray, a magnificent Great Gray Owl. Earl had been hit by a car and could no longer fly, and I had the necessary permits to keep him and take him to schools and festivals. Later, it was discovered that he was a she, and so was renamed pEarl. #ThrowbackThursday #SuperbOwl #Owls

It's not chaos 😲

I thought I'd post a photo in black and white; this seems like a good candidate. These pigeons are doing their very best to ensure the bird seed doesn't spoil.

I feel so sorry for my dear Mastodon friends who are having to pick up and swap instances yet again. There but by the grace of the great catgirl goddess go I.

Just as I would IRL, I wish you security and stability at your new homes. 💖
