This is so gross and scary. These people have been allowed to come out of the woodwork and they are now encouraged to carry guns.

Pauncho thinks I don't do housework right so he chips in to lick the cleaning spray off the fridge. I then have to rush to wipe it before he gets to it. It's now a smudgy mess.

The Colorado School of Mines was temporarily closed and issued a shelter-in-place as police searched for a man with a gun. Sent in to apprehend the suspect, K9 Officer Graffit was shot and killed, giving his life in the line of duty.

"I hope that in 10 years when my nieces are more on the internet, she doesn't have to deal with something like this just for existing as a woman on the internet. It shouldn't be a price you pay. It shouldn't be the fee that you have whenever you log in"

Always makes me happy when I see a classic when I'm out for an evening stroll - late 70s MGB Roadster, I've seen a couple of classics parked here in Jesmond in the past, so maybe someone sells the odd classic now and again, so I'll make sure I pass this spot on a regular basis . .

TRYING TO FIND YOUR OLD TWITTER NETWORK?

After the great API shutoff, a lot of the services that people have been utilising to find their old Twitter networks no longer work.

Fedifinder is one of the few that is still up and running (I confirmed it myself this morning).

It isn't as seamless as some of the older methods, but can still be used in mere minutues to find users and easily follow them on Mastodon using the Import feature.

This video guide walks through the whole process from start to finish.

Please #Boost this to spread the word around your networks as much as possible.

By disrupting the polar vortex and displacing cold air into parts of Europe and N. America, SSWs can influence our weather for weeks.

There are uncertainties about their factual impacts or the link to climate change.
Yet, it is fascinating that our prediction systems, based on models and meteorological data can forecast these complex extreme weather phenomena.

Apparently a green shirt in Whole Foods is equivalent to a red shirt in Target, so don’t dress like this unless you’re prepared to direct people to the quinoa aisle.
