We did it, guys. We made it to the dystopic future.

How to Catch a Mountain Lion
an illustrative guide

1. Place a cardboard box where the animal frequently visits.
2. Sit back and wait.
3. A cat is a cat is a cat.

Visit to the Newton Room today (regional STEM hub for secondary schools), loads of renewable energy based experimental stuff. First year class, and very engaged. On top of that, one of the girls dug into SparkVue, an app I spend time explaining to 6th years and teachers, and created a beautifully well annotated set of multiple data runs, very impressed. All off her own initiative.

Absolutely delighted to join Mastodon!

Go back and read what you wrote, then ask yourself "am I being pointlessly pedantic here?"
The answer may surprise you.

And that's after they negotiate for property and business tax breaks, because they're going to bring SO MUCH business into town!

Every #Walmart in the United States of America cost its community on average a million dollars per annum in subsidies for its workers since they can't pay them enough.

My 7-day Twitter suspension just ended but the last 7 days have been more than enough time to recognize the fade of Twitter’s glow. Sad to see how easily raw financial power can destroy, especially in the U.S.A. What an ungrateful immigrant Elon Musk has turned out to be!

It's time to forget about shaming Elon Musk. The whole point of his vile attack on Fauci is to Trigger The Libs. Shaming him only persuades his followers he's "drawing blood." We have to adapt to the reality that he is waging right wing information warfare.

"People want to believe that the Trump NFTs are a jump-the-shark moment. And that would be great. I'd like it to be the case. But is this any more embarrassing or self-abasing that Trump U, or Trump Steaks, or the Official Trump Card?" thetriad.thebulwark.com/p/abou

I was also told I had to send a blood sample and tissue sample - something about a donor match? I really want that little blue check to show I'm me. I get confused sometimes, and that would really help.

@TonyStark
As an Army Veteran, this is exactly what stumps me. If we want/need our military members to be able to protect our nation at the drop of a hat, as I do, then we MUST protect them just as we protect ourselves against communicable diseases/viruses and such. To be against COVID vaccinations is reckless & seems to play into the hands of our enemies abroad & perhaps at home, and that may be the ultimate purpose for Republicans. If so, that is contrary to America's safety! Vax UP! Mask up!

BBC reports:

Earlier on today, EU commissioner Vera Jourova threatened Twitter with sanctions under Europe's new Digital Services Act which she said requires "the respect of media freedom and fundament rights".

"Elon Musk should be aware of that. There are red lines. And sanctions, soon," she added.
