@NormanDunbar @Peternimmo Wouldn't surprise me if it was a fine. That said, multiple cases of contempt during the trial won't help. The fun result would be custody until the day after inauguration day.

Terrific example of pointlessness here from @jon. Not everything in life needs an app!

jon@gruene.social - All over Tallinn there are these app controlled bike racks. But I don’t want to have to download an app to park a bike. And I don’t think it even fits a Birdy, let alone a cargo bike. And the regular racks are poor…

Different but same sentiment ... I bought some pills in Boots on Tuesday taking in the empty container to compare.

They had a recycling bin. I asked the lady on the till if I could put the empty in the recycling. She said to do that I needed to log in.

No, says I.

OK, I'll put it in the rubbish for you, says she.

I've always been sceptical about using #microblogging for discussion of complex issues such as topics in #theology. But a #toot of mine yesterday led to intelligent and thought provoking replies. Is this another way in which #Mastodon beats what came before?

Council moves from emergency accommodation to make way for coming to a . Shelter Scotland: "it is obviously shameful that a major event in the ‘festival city’ should have such a significant knock-on effect for people experiencing homelessness".

@Peternimmo idk if I'm a theology nerd and idk how relevant it is to "christianity" but for getting an appreciation of the bible, i'd recommend robert alter's commentated translation of genesis. Fascinating. And have them read some other ancient stuff too. By and large I think the characters in the bible are much more complex & rounded than, for example, most of the figures in greek myths. Flawed heroes! It's like they're halfway to inventing the modern novel!
