There is a spring that comes before spring, when the first daffodil prongs poke thru and suddenly daffodils appear...

I could hardly believe that statistic I just reposted was true: more than half of U.S. adults 16 to 74 read at below a 6th grade level?

But I checked, and Snopes says it's true. https://www.snopes.com/news/2022/08/02/us-literacy-rate/

How discouraging and infuriating.

Ben and Esther's has been here for like 5 minutes and it's closing. Why restaraunts want to open and fail on Capitol Hill in instead of open closer to vibrant Jewish neighborhoods I'll never understand.

Also nobody needs more non-kosher spots.

@dukepaaron I would think vegan and Jewish deli would be incompatible. No salami? No chicken broth in the matzo ball soup?

@TadeuszBonawentura Thanks for the mention. But I have to admit I went down the rabbit hole of kbin.social and don't understand what it is at all

@TadeuszBonawentura This whole inter-inter thing is developing faster than I can follow it. I quit X, but am still posting on tumblr, FB to a few old friends, insta, and of course masto, which I am liking.

Okay, sadder but wiser now, I see that I've misspelled colander. Brains are like that, life is like that. Language is like a calendar, full of holes you can fall through...

Remember, in every capitalist dictator, there's a totalitarian dictator screaming to come out.

@LeftistLawyer He said he would like to die on Mars, is there any way to help him get his wish?

About YouTube and ad-blockers:

YouTube is owned by Alphabet, aka Google's umbrella corporation. Google in turn was devoured by DoubleClick, the largest advertising company to come out of the 1990s web.

When you use Google, you are feeding the attention monster that is the advertising industry.

We should aim to criminalize behavioural advertising and break up the Google monopoly, not tolerate their shit and work around it by using adblockers.

@cstross google results are sometimes just pages of ads now

A year later, Musk’s X is tilting right. And sinking.

The billionaire bought Twitter to revive its business and make it less ‘woke.’ He has succeeded at only one of those goals.

@johnshirley2024 He's so rich that he can lose forty billion, and it would only be his pride that was hurt. The media remain fascinated with X, but I doubt anyone I followed and interacted with is still on it.
