An interesting, ingenious and likely dangerous to ride bicycle for two.

Created by the Zenga Brothers, there's some history on this video ; https://vimeo.com/218705523

@maison_faim Although there's a number of new users from a certain country that seem to be here mostly to support their national leadership. They all got more or less thrown out of Twitter.

@zleap A new Democratic president would face opposition in the Senate as you mentioned, bringing to mind the fierce opposition the Republicans put up against anything Obama proposed.

But Bernie is no longer a candidate for nomination, he withdrew from the race so it's Joe Biden that likely gets the nomination.

Unless something unexpected happens.

@maison_faim You could take a look at my blog post about how choosing an instance is important, which includes a review of some I have accounts on.

@maison_faim @realcaseyrollins Doing ok here too, it's nice that weather is getting warmer and sunny sometimes. Just came back from a nice bike ride, had to go out when it reaches 18 Celsius!

@maison_faim A lot of users posting and not gettting replies, but I don't think there's any bots.

@maison_faim Not so low, there's many many toots that go unaswered, sometimes good posts, it's pretty disheartening for the poster.

The local social scene has been pretty slow compared to some earlier times, like December or so.

@maison_faim The Spanish speaking users here, all Twitter exhiles, usually salute each other as "mastodontes". 😛

The English ones, I haven't seen a commonly used word yet.

Dulce Pontes, a Portuguese Fado singer, in a duet with Andrea Bocelli. Awesome voices and music. 💕

@craigm Lovely photos, Craig, thank you for sharing them!

@metapsyche We had some 'arguments" over that here at Qoto. I find it dismal as well, the handling of the pandemic by the American federal government, mostly due to the President's worry about impacts on his re-election campaign.

I refused to engage the argument, in my view there's no point wasting time. People are polarized and they deny mainstream media sources as 'biased', 'fake news', etc. '

Tragic, and things will likely get worse before they get better.

Barny, so beautiful, passed away. RIP, dear friend.

You remind me so much of my own late Simba, an orange Tabby like you. ☹️😢

This morning I was remembering attending Mass last Easter at the wonderful Igreja de Santa Maria dos Olivais, the #Templar church in Tomar, Portugal.

Tomar was Templar's main site in Portugal, and they had an impressive Castle at the top of a mountain, still there. #xp #History

Seen in New Zealand.
