Looks like Canada finally has a centrist party -- at least in name. Remains to be seen whether or not it's a real thing or some would-be politician with an opinion and a Twitter account.

โ ๏ธ Warning to anyone on the mstdn.party or mstdn.plus servers, recommend you move to another server ASAP.
Their only admin is apparently unreachable, and his accounts haven't posted anything since Dec 2022.
You can find a new server at https://joinmastodon.org/servers or https://fedi.garden (the servers listed there have at least two admins and promise to give 3 months warning of any shutdown).
There's a step-by-step guide to moving your account at https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-mastodon-and-the-fediverse-basic-tips/#TransferringYourMastodonAccountToAnotherServer
Our car did not survive yesterday. Wouldn't start yesterday and it's 100% dead this morning. :(
Netflix's "Cunk on Earth" is the laugh you need right now.
It's happening. The Polar Vortex. #cold #polarvortex

Someone in Australia is currently very pleased that they got to use their fancy 360 degree gamma spectroscope camera device to find that lost radioactive source.
I want one.

I'm participating in #GenreJukebox early this month but that's the only commitment that's holding me on Twitter. The shutting down of the API was very indicative of the way it's going and, frankly, it's not offering much (anything?) that Mastodon doesn't do better at this point.

my career would not be what it is today without there having been a free and open Twitter API. Making it paid-only is a monumentally stupid business decision but also just likeโฆ what a loss for internet weirdos everywhere
I missed the Green Comet. The next time it comes back, in 50,000 years, I'll be viewing it from my simulated consciousness uploaded into the cloud.

Captured this small and violent squall that moved over the lighthouse last June, we could not believe what we were witnessing, the rain and hail came in seconds after I took this shot and we had to retreat #RubhaNanGall #Lighthouse #Nature #LandscapePhotography #BeautifulScotland #IsleOfMull #Mull #Tobermory #Scotland #StormyWeather #Rainbow #Photography #SunSet #AltText

Because they are warm, durable and comforting. Also, they're on the east coast and it's been a part of our culture since the late 80s.
#NowPlaying -- ending the afternoon with some Black Breath
Everyone (...well... ok, Twitter...) is talking about Jordan Peterson's terrible steak advice but it just made me want to go and find a (medium) really well executed Wagyu. ๐ฅฉ

People are needlessly concerned that the unavoidable #misuse of #AI (language and visual) tools will “break the #information landscape”. The quality and quantity of “fake news” and other published BS may increase but people with the #knowledge and #tools to distinguish between #reality and #fiction will always have the upper hand.
Humanity was in this situation of “disruptive innovation” many times in the past, and it somehow managed to grow up of it a little bit better than before.
Show me a single non-rhyming poem that adds something positive to the human experience and deserves long-term memetic propagation.
Hey #Halifax -- this is happening next weekend:
