so i decided im putting back up my HF antenna, doing it all new! I'm excited.

So first there was a “whistleblower” who’d bring down Biden, then they said the whistleblower had tapes, then they said the whistleblower was missing, then they said the whistleblower was dead, and now it turns out the whistleblower was a Chinese spy who’s evading arrest? Got it.

Baloch schoolgirls in Iran-held part of Balochistan on October 18, 2022, dumped the trash "Supreme Leader" of Iran in the appropriate place,
whilst they worse actual traditional clothing, not the fiction that the regime is trying to impose as "traditional".

at first, i rolled my eyes at the ALT feature onhere but it's much better than on the cluck app.

am not only starting to enjoy it, but when appropriate, am turning the ALT text into their own post. not separate but more like an addendum.

The Fediverse is dying so fast that the media storage on Infosec.exchange is growing by 1GB every 15 minutes and I am going to have to add another app server for the US region.

Southern Vermont has been hammered by over 7" of rainfall (and then flooding) in places, but now it's going to get worse in north central Vermont, including the flood prone Winooski River valley, where floods are already impacting communities. vtdigger.org/2023/07/10/rainfa #Vermont #VTwx #flood #FloodWarning

A mysterious network called AdStyle is placing ads with fake endorsements from celebrities on conservative sites based in the U.S. and abroad. With names like Liberal Hack Watch, most of the sites in the network publish content with a pro-Trump bent. propublica.org/article/right-w @craigsilverman @ProPublica

My dad told us, “Nothing worth doing is ever easy.” I discourage the use of absolutes by my kids, but the sentiment is solid and it’s how I feel about this place. The work is the reward. Active engagement versus passive voyeurism. It has changed how I view social media and I am damn grateful for that. I raise my glass to all the admins and mods volunteering their time to maintain Mastodon. Thank you and cheers!

Vermont about to see extreme rain on the order of Hurricane Irene in 2011.

Before 2011, this amount of rainfall was nearly impossible. 12 years ago it was possible with a hurricane. Now it's just a summer day.

Great job, Exxon.

Recapping the July 7 & 8th, 2023 northwest Canada/extreme eastern Alaska heatwave, here are selected (preliminary) maximum temperatures. Norman Wells 37.9C (100F) on July 8th is evidently the highest temperature on record so far north (65.3ºN) in Canada.

I'm 59. When I was born, segregation existed, interracial marriage was illegal and women were not allowed to have credit cars in their own names until I was 11 years old. CIVIL RIGHTS ARE A NEW THING.

I feel like everyone joining threads has completely forgotten about zuckerburg giving cops the user data of women seeking abortions.
