Suggestion: Reach out to your local government, emergency service provider, and/or news org. Let them know that Twitter has ended public access to content and that Mastodon is a working alternative today. I did this on the weekend with my local emergency folks and this morning I got a reply back saying they had noticed the embedded Twitter feed on their webpage was broken.

They didn't realize Twitter had cut that service. Now, hopefully, they are considering their options including Mastodon.

@chris Good idea.

Many cultures around the world have a legend of a Bon Jovi-like figure.
Germans know him as Guten Joven;
in Brazil he is Bom João

@sbarolo In the scriptures he's described as never having eaten a crumb of food his entire life, surviving entirely on prayer.

OK wizards:

Is it me or are the zebra stripes and sharks teeth not in the right places?

@sofio

Bicycle handlebar cam photo in the same traffic circle, but this time from in the circle. There is a white pickup truck waiting to enter the circle from the right. The truck has stopped behind the shark's teeth. But the position of the shark's teeth means the truck is blocking the pedestrian crossing entirely.

@Marrekoo @DrTCombs @sofio They are legally required to yield to pedestrians in a zebra (or in an unmarked crossing), although again this is a state-level thing. It's hard to say that's 100% true for all US states, and states add exceptions all the time.

Like, here's Florida's "you have to yield.. unless there's a ped overpass, in which case squish away!" clause. How close does the tunnel or overpass have to be? Who knows!

Andres4NY,
@Andres4NY@social.ridetrans.it avatar

@DrTCombs @sofio Yield to oncoming cars (those could hurt you), but please plow right through those pedestrians.

Andres4NY,
@Andres4NY@social.ridetrans.it avatar

@Marrekoo @DrTCombs @sofio Yeah, "jaywalking" is illegal at the local/state level pretty much everywhere in the US, but crossing is legally permitted at intersections and where marked by zebra crossings like that.

Because everything's pushed down to states & municipalities, there's 50+ different legal standings with most taking guidance from federal standards, but there's probably weird exceptions out there.

Introducing my child to the venerable tradition of going to a movie of indifferent quality so that we can be in air conditioning all afternoon. 🤣

Say what you will about latter-period MCU movies, they’re kinda built for this.

@rbellinger I like the secret risk hidden behind this truck at 1:29.

Can't tell if they're parked in the driveway or actively pulling out, but I can easily see someone dying there when they ride around the truck without seeing a car pulling out right there.

sir. SIR. please, sir, I did not give you permission to remember my toot. yes, I gave you a copy of it when we federated. yes, it is public content I want people to see. but it's really mean that you actually believed me when I said you could have a copy of it forever. sir, please, stop remembering my toot.

@tdfischer The blog post was straight-up bizarre.

I sent an SMS to the group chat, you're going to tell me that multiple telcos, android creators, AND anyone with physical access to each recipients phone can now do whatever they want with my text message? That's outrageous! I'm switching to email from now on, at least that.. touches earpiece hang on, I'm being told that someone shared my emails with linkedin. Okay, smoke signals from here on out.

A lot of people, myself included, bounced off Twitter the first (second, third, fourth...) time they tried it before it stuck. Your pals that bounce off of Mastodon may come back eventually.

@dx I bounced off mastodon 2-3 years ago before sticking around the second time!
