Each of my boosts is my favorite post or reply among all posts and replies I found submitted during the prior month (with no boost for any such month unless active enough to credibly have a favorite). See, I'm hoping to balance three goals:

• Promote good stuff.

• Ensure quality by limiting it to fixed intervals.

• Help those who explore my original content to do so without too many distractions.

NB — Not all of one's boosts can be found at all times on all instances that show one's boosts.

I wonder about many things. One is the percentage of plastic our bodies can contain before some key organ--heart, brain, or lungs for example--stops working.

Not just us, of course. Everything in the biosphere is undergoing plastification. You'd think companies killing their customers might have second thoughts, but apparently not.

Future alien visitors will find bones imbedded in layers of plastic and wonder what strange religious beliefs led to our odd entombment.

Auschwitz Memorial mastodon (AP)
26 July 1920 | German Jewish woman, Johanna Proskauer, was born in Berlin. She emigrated to the Czechoslovakia.

On 27 July 1942, she was deported to Theresienstadt ghetto and on 15 December 1943 to Auschwitz. She perished in Stutthof on 20 August 1944.

Housekeeping notes:

• My content is often Quiet Public or Unlisted, but might be Public if it: (a) is a boost or original post, (b) is a reply on some level to one of my original posts, or (c) is a reply on some level to a Public post naming me.

• I may edit words repeatedly for clarity or style. I enjoy the writing practice; I should do it more.

• Sometimes there's a fearsome image hidden in my banner pic—it's simultaneously copy protection and a challenge for folks who want to look for it.

🌳 Scientists at University of Birmingham have discovered that trees help remove methane from the atmosphere, not just the carbon dioxide we normally think about!

This is huge news, as methane is 80x more potent as a greenhouse gas than CO2 over 20 years, and is responsible for 30% of global warming.

For THIRTY YEARS now it's made sense for creative people to have their own site as the 'hub' of their online presence, but most still go "nah, I'll just keep shovelling everything into the most popular platforms even though it disappears in minutes & they'll do bad things with it"

In #Illinois, a police officer shot Sonya Massey and killed her. He has been charged with murder. The facts will come out at trial, but the choice for the election is clear. Kamala #Harris wants to hold cops accountable when they break the law. Donald #Trump wants to give them immunity from prosecution. A decision to stay home means you're OK with letting the cop who killed Sonya Massey stay home. Silence means consent. https://www.msnbc.com/the-reidout/reidout-blog/sonya-massey-police-accountability-trump-harris-rcna163741?cid=eml_mda_20240726&user_email=6178f1b4ffd352f367e7b15ac9f42f239b7166116dfcd896d93afa99a5de221d

💅 „Bauch, Beine, Po“ heißt der neue Hit. Kein Witz. Was wie ein Work-out aus den Urzeiten des Aerobics klingt, ist der Titel eines neuen Songs von Shirin ­David, einer der zurzeit populärsten deutschen Rapperinnen. 👉 https://taz.de/!6022543/
„Diese Botschaft scheint anzukommen: Ein hotter Body ist geil, Fitness ist geil, Disziplin, Fleiß und Selbstoptimierung für einen hotten Body ist megageil." taz-Autorin Mengna Tan sieht in Shirin Davids neuem Song "Bauch, Beine, Po" keine Satire. Im Hintergrund liegt Shirin David in einem Haufen rosa Teddys.

mcSlibinas mastodon (AP)
@BrodieOnLinux that makes sense. You plug wifi cable, then phone gets wifi
Colin Dean mastodon (AP)
@BrodieOnLinux circa May 2006 at my undergrad alma mater, someone came looking for a Wi-Fi cable. They were very displeased that we didn't have any — and wouldn't accept that they didn't exist — so we told them we were out of stock. They got even angrier and said we should put up a sign when we were out of such an important thing during finals week.
A sign on a brick wall outside of the IT help desk at Westminster College says, "Sorry, we are currently out of wireless network cables. Please check back tomorrow."
