EU threatens Elon Musk with sanctions after Twitter's suspension of #journalists. #EU law “requires respect of media freedom and fundamental rights,” “There are red lines. And sanctions, soon.”

Public Service Warning

Mastodon has a very big surge of new users right now. There's no way to tell if it will be sustained, but at this early point it looks similar to Nov 18 when when Musk pulled the employee purge.

It is very challenging for system administration to accommodate so many new users. If your server starts to struggle, it is not broken and will get sorted out.

We're all in this together. It's our social network. Be patient. What we are building is amazing.

Kestrel.

One of my favourite locations for wildlife photography in England, is the Cotswolds.

On this day, I was looking for owls and hares, when this male kestrel caught my eye, perched on the top of a small tree beside the road.

Just as I lined the camera up, he took flight, and I captured that moment, with his wings in rather an angelic shape.

Seven months ago I got a tip about a possible war crime.

A body had laid in the streets of a small village called Nova Basan - for a month.

So we started digging.

This is going into a technical presentation someday.
