Good morning from Ireland !

It's Friday.....time to get the honey out !

My dogs have been diligently trying, but their training techniques obviously aren't as advanced as these doggos.

The greatest story about social media. I don't think it gets better.

In November 2022, @texasobserver@texaxobserver.social became one of the first newspapers to start their own Mastodon server.

Unlike most newspapers, @texasobserver operates as a non-profit.

This week, the non-profit’s board of directors voted to disband @TexasObserver.

But within 48 hours, people have given $250,000 so it can continue to exist.

Good morning folks !

I don't know art but I know what I like

This is the disgusting plate of food served for dinner here in the long term care/rehab facility where I'm currently living. And this is one of the "better" places, supposedly. How is one supposed to get better eating this crap?

I saw a couple weaving through a park.

I said “Honestly! Get a loom!”

@ScottSoCal well, TCP does require your acknowledgement, so I would think UDP would be more introvert friendly?

@ScottSoCal @AndyPerfors

Easy access to killing machines is the one area this in which the U.S. doesn't discriminate.

Exciting news for #StarTrek fans with official renewal and premiere date announcements for Strange New Worlds, Lower Decks, and Prodigy. Is a #StarTrekPicard spin-off in the works too?

The cashier said “Strip down, facing me.”

By the time I realised she meant the debit card, it was too late.

I’m happy to say that @TexasObserver reached $200,000 on their GoFundMe!

Journalists around the world, are you seeing this?

Biden said: Under my economic plan, no one making less than $400,000 will pay more in taxes.

But you know who will?

Billionaires, multi-millionaires, multinational corporations, and businesses with massive stock buybacks who have gotten away with low-to-no taxes for too long.

I added the dates the US assault weapon ban was passed and expired. See any differences?

@ScottSoCal (Also I don't think all four were really trans anyway)

@ScottSoCal I want to teach everyone some basic statistics so badly! 😂

Not gonna lie, the newest step in the ongoing demonisation and scapegoating of trans people -- the reaction to this mass shooting in Nashville -- is deeply, deeply frightening. I'm so glad I don't live in the US but many innocent people do, and they are going to bear the brunt of this witch-hunt. I do not like where this goes.

On April 3, you will meet the team of astronauts flying to the Moon on the #Artemis II mission.

These explorers will pave the way for future lunar landings and our next giant leap — human exploration of Mars. https://www.youtube.com/live/mua1Lysc_JQ?feature=share
