Ok turns out I couldn't just leave it at that other picture 😂

I keep saying journalists should leave Twitter and use Mastodon, which is better for them in every way. At TechDirt I've posted a somewhat lengthy why-and-how: https://www.techdirt.com/2023/01/04/journalists-and-others-should-leave-twitter-heres-how-they-can-get-started/

Möbius müsic. #ideas #halfbaked

OH - be still my beating heart!💕

Oh, btw: I bought johnmastodon.com.

I think I'm going to use it as a Mastodon server recommendation site. I'm imagining "John Mastodon" as a clippy-style avatar to help you pick a server.

If you’re a democratic strategist who thinks this is a good time to sell out our people and put this dysfunction on us, go back to the green room and take a nap.

Follow me for more recipes.

After 9 rounds, no wonder Republicans don't believe elections work.

We are essentially witnessing a domestic terrorist hostage situation unfolding in congress.
McCarthy will no doubt continue to sell whatever is left of his soul to the sedition caucus.
While amusing on some levels, also becoming increasingly dangerous for America.

Maybe McCarthy is just running the clock to claim squatter rights on Speaker's office.

Hey everyone. Just wanted to eliminate the confusion and let you know that this is actually me. 😂 Hope you are having an awesome Thursday!

It's Thursday and as everyone is talking about Simon Pegg (thanks to his glorious takedown of the PM) here's a throwback to my poster for Shaun of the Dead 🏏 🧟

@ScottSoCal We're probably related :-) My grand uncle lived there with his 2 wives and 100+ children and grandchildren.

Researching mines in northern Spain I came across this curious object. It's a canary cage designed to keep the canary alive in the event of a gas leak. If a miner saw the canary laying at the bottom of the cage it was time to abandon everything and leave the mine, but not without first closing the latched glass door and opening the valve of the oxygen bottle to save the bird. A miner would do that on their way out and take the bird with them. It's a signifier of the miner's legendary sense of solidarity, no lives lost to the mine on a miners watch. A solidarity that was also crucial in the fight for workers rights, creating safer and more humane working conditions, achievements of unionization and solidarity that some of us still enjoy today.
