Smacking Russian trolls with my banhammer makes me feel like Thor⚡

It's a heavy hammer so it's gotta be used carefully

Last view of #Perseverance from the past, before it says goodbye to Jezero Crater and drives beyond the rim and into the sunset 😀

Though, the rover cannot be seen for two reasons:

• This is low tech time travel so the traveler can only exist in one place at a time. The image was captured by a younger Perseverance at noon of Aug. 23, 2021, Sol 181, RMC 7.0000

• 10km is too far a distance to be able to see a future rover with a 34mm lens.

But one can imagine it 😃

The COVID-19 pandemic affected how humans behaved. But it also had an effect on zoo animals in a variety of ways, including the amount of time they spent resting and eating. @ScienceAlert explains:

Waffle House woulda helped him hide, just sayin'...

I don't think it's possible to undersell exactly what just happened. A handsome, white, upper-middle class man from the Midwest, with an ivy league education and chronic debilitating pain just, without help from anyone else, 3D printed a ghost gun and a silencer at home and used it to execute a wall street CEO.

This murder completely robbed MAGA of all their previous excuses. This wasn't feminism. It wasn't immigrants. It wasn't brown or black people. It wasn't a trans person. It wasn't a left coast elitist. It wasn't mental illness. It wasn't a blue-haired leftist. It wasn't Marxism. It wasn't communism.

This was the consequence of two previously unrelated right wing mechanisms suddenly coming together: the Venn diagram of unregulated healthcare and unregulated guns. This is the MAGA deregulation machine attacking itself. And they are completely unprepared for it.

Prior to the US occupation, Hawaii had the world's highest literacy rate, surpassing the US and Europe. We spoke Hawaiian, English, and instructed in our native tongue. After the US invasion, the language was banned in 1896 in schools and we were made to view it as a 'shameful'.

In every relationship there is one person who loads the grocery belt like a Scandinavian architect, and one who loads it like a racoon on crystal meth.

Going to take a little social media break over the next few days. Happy solstice! May your long (northern hemisphere) nights be full of stars and not too many satellites.

@maswan So I made a flan. It needs to cool down still.

A bit late for #Caturday but Stinky is quite relaxed about it all. #CatsOfMastodon #Cats

🆕 blog! “Mastodon Now Sends Referer Headers! Hurrah!”

Back in 2022, I wrote this rather grumpy post on Mastodon, the federated social media platform.

> Mastodon enforces a "noreferrer" on all external links. I have mixed feelings about that. As a blogger, I want to see *where* visitors are coming from…

One thing I like about BlueSky is that one post that becomes "popular" can garner my account almost a hundred new followers who might help spread my #ClimateAction posts.

It probably took me two years on #Mastodon to get my first 1,000 followers, but I still like it better here don't at all get me wrong.

National Guard special unit OMEGA remotely blows a building in Toretsk, where Russians were reportedly hiding.

Had no idea...🤦

This, times 100 million.
