I’m mystified by the people who DON’T wear masks on the plane, but put them on in the airport. Wtf type of logic is that.
John Wilson mastodon (AP)
I saw something in the middle of the pandemic about air recirculating and being filtered on planes in a way that made it safer than airport air

This was before Omicron and my thinking is, it’s not going to protect you from the guy behind you coughing. And who knows if there is a difference in planes. I’ll keep wearing the mask.

Not saying this to excuse anyone, only to sadly point out that clear, concise, accurate dissemination of public health information has been horrendous

@crazybutable I remember them saying that too, but I know people who’ve flown while infected. That can’t be good.

Es wird Sozialdemokratie mit evangelischer Härte angereichert, die feine Klinge des Burschenschaftsorchesters "Linnemann" ertönt und auch MC Lanz weiß, wie man eine Zeremonie zum Klimax führt.

This, @EUCommission , would be a fantastic opportunity to ditch Microsoft altogether and embrace some European-maintained open source solution instead for your 40K employees. The EU government depending on non-EU infrastructure is not good for strategic autonomy – and that's on top on digital surveillance by American tech corps being against our data protection laws.

Guy who shot tree trimmer told 911 he was "getting messages from outer space"


I don't know whether to imagine the theme from Twilight Zone or the song "They're Comng to Take Me Away, Ha Ha!"
Also, he is a lawyer... wow!

https://abc7chicago.com/post/schaumburg-il-shooting-michael-lang-claimed-receiving-messages/15099635/
Apparently it was a pistol, according to the report. Strange factor: his parents had hired the tree-trimmers. He asked them to leave and then shot the one guy while they were packing up, after threatning to kill one of them.

Weirdly, he called 911 twice to report he was hearing aliens.

My guess - either he is sane and lost his temper, but because he is a lawyer, he seeded his own insanity defense, or, yeah, a genuine psychotic episode.

A group in the UK that I'm hugely interested in are Library Of Things.

At a very basic level, they offer products such as power tools for rental rather than ownership.

But it's a little bit more than that:

They have a very clear vision, which is centred around *everybody* in a neighbourhood having access to quality tools, toys and technologies, reducing waste, and also *repairing* tools rather than landfilling them and buying new ones.

On top of that: they run workshops on how to use the tools etc; this is not a profit-driven venture.

I don't think they're on Mastodon, so I'm going to take this opportunity, given everything I've been talking about this morning, to give them a little shout-out.

If you're in a position to promote them, that would be great.

"As vice-president, Harris was handed a daunting mission at the onset of her term: to address the “root causes” of migration from the northern triangle countries of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador. But at no point was she put in charge of border policy. That is the responsibility of the Homeland Security secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas, who was with Harris when she visited the border in June 2021, three months after she was given the assignment."

Over a year or so ago, I read reports about “useful idiots” being employed by the Russians to undertake acts of sabotage. Now comes this. Anyone wonder about the arson attacks in France this week?

Using FPV drones, SBU units hit and destroyed about 50 pieces of equipment in a month, including tanks, air defense and electronic warfare systems, vehicles and special equipment.

Gochujiang pork shoulder andhoney mustard chicken skewers

The European Union has a mix of 17 kinds of tanks, 20 types of planes, and 27 different military offices. The U.S., on the other hand, has just one military headquarters and fewer kinds of tanks and planes. If European countries shared their military resources and worked together more, they might be stronger within NATO and less reliant on the U.S. So, the big question is: Should the EU team up for its own defense and foreign policies, maybe even start a European army?

Lots of little capillaries in outer ear, they bleed profusely when cut. Should have used a bigger sponge to get some 'blood' on his crisp white shirt when Trump pressed it to his ear for the Hero Shot.

@weezmgk @CStamp This was the part that stuck out to me: Trump is claiming there was so much blood, but not a speck on that white shirt collar. In other words, the wound had already clotted by the time he stood up.

The real magic of the fediverse:
no vanity, no algos, no overlords.

- No vanity: We don't chase follower counts, we connect for genuine interactions.

- No algos: Just real people and genuinely funny memes.

- No overlords: The protocol is the authority, not some corporation.

Who would have thought Facebook would embrace the open ActivityPub protocol back in 2018 when it was published?

It's proof that the fediverse is a force to be reckoned with. ✨

Sometimes you want to boost something standing up and applauding.
I am new to Mastodon, so I cannot be taken so seriously; however, I ask myself if Mastodon could get money from ads, and use that money to hire more programmers.

Now comes something I believe, to use ads' money to hire sociologists and psychologists, aiming the promotion of necessary public debates - like the two current wars and other social issues - keeping positive and respectful debates.

I believe Mastodon will become the de-facto social network. We need money to make it happen.

Who knows on the cats but he definitely has something against women.

At any rate, it’s always really something to me when someone in the party who won’t feed kids or give them healthcare and wants to deny them an education and basic rights goes after Democrats for being “anti-family.” Anti-family is this guy and his horrifying old man running mate.
