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.

RIP Good Boy.

"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.

The Constitution allows you to have your Bible.

But your Bible is not our Constitution.

Remember when Hillary Clinton downloaded classified information to a private laptop?

Me either.
That was Donald Trump.

Don't put your winter clothes away! A Sudden Stratospheric Warming event is brewing right now above the Arctic.

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.

#Introduction

Hi! I’m Ralph.
I’m easily amused and easily irritated.
I enjoy short walks to the fridge.
I work in #tech. (data analyst/computer fixer)
I go to the #gym often only because I love to eat.
Video games are my jam.
Reading books is a must.
Honestly, I really don’t enjoy bios. Haha 🫥

Autocorrect changed "spilt" to "split" and now this milk is atomizing right in front of my eyes.

Before I say what I want to say let me preface it with this...

Clout doesn't mean shit here. It's what separates this place from other social media platforms. ❤️And I love it.❤️

WITH THAT SAID...

I KNOW it doesn't matter, but there's a side of me that is just REALLY HAPPY that I now have more followers here then on ANY social media platform I'm on. Especially after years of telling people how great this place is.

Thanks to all of you.

And this will be the last you ever hear about it from me.

#JohnMastodon adores fox hunting, and fully supports it's legality...

He hopes to one day have Hannity and Carlson mounted over his fireplace, and for the greatest prize, a rug made from Murdoch's wrinkled hide.

For anyone wondering how they should spend their money instead of buying a millionaire anti-trans bigot's new glitchy, antisemitic, pro-slavery video game, let me just remind you of two facts:

1. The Girl Scouts of America is openly accepting and inclusive of trans girls, and
2. It's cookie season.
