”Barricades were erected outside the Fulton County courthouse in Georgia yesterday in preparation for possible indictments in a probe that looked into whether Trump and his allies interfered in the state's 2020 presidential election.”

Looks like Trump is going to spend most of his time going from courtroom to courtroom 😬

Just when I think #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds can’t get any better they put together an amazing crossover episode. It really is the pinnacle of #StarTrek right now. My only complaint is there aren’t hundreds of episodes for me to watch today 😬

This was a fun #Lego build. Been working on making my home office area more chill. Can’t have real plants because one of my cats eats every single 🪴

Refinancing a loan, ask for a secure portal to upload sensitive documents to. They proceed to send me an e-mail and tell me this is a secure e-mail.

I'm sorry what? I'm not sending information like my drivers license, registration and paystubs through e-mail. Might be time to put an end to this conversation.

Now would be a great time to stand with the #WGA and cancel all your #Streaming subscriptions. Hit them in their wallets, the only way they'll hear us.

It’s just fantastic there’s very little job security anymore in #Tech. #Layoffs are now the norm, who knows when your number is up.

Was hoping to see unionization efforts during my career but it seems more unlikely as time goes on.

What will forever break my brain is the people who invade the comments on photos of places like Seattle, NYC, Portland, LA raging about homelessness and crime. They of course don't understand the complex problems impact the majority of cities across the US, no matter who's in political office. #USPol #Politics

Fellow #Photography peoples! For the first time ever, I have someone (a local store) asking if they can buy the exclusive rights to one of my photos 😳

I have no idea where to even begin. Anyone out there willing to provide some #Advice? Attaching bonus #Bird photo I took out in Leavenworth, WA a few weeks back 🐦

Checked out #Threads and I’m already extremely annoyed by how it’s sorting posts. Seems like it’s using the same algorithm as Facebook.

You know the algorithm where whatever you just saw is immediately gone never to be seen again?

Will check it out again after it’s had some time to bake. It needs the option of chronological feeds of only people I follow. #Meta

Mind blowing to me that I am having to consider buying a computer out of my own pocket to do my job. I've had to do this many times over the years, but never expected I'd have to do it working for such a large company.

It's like a carpenter not being assigned with a working hammer. It's a drop in the bucket but companies never invest properly in tools for their employees.

Never.

Had a visitor drop by for the #4thofJuly we see them occasionally here! Managed to capture this despite running across the house and the camera not being setup for it 🦅 📷 #Bird #Photography #Nature

Red flag warnings, burn bans, but let’s blow some stuff up! 🙄🤬 #Fireworks #Insanity

cdlhamma, 11 months ago to random

I’d love for #Fireworks to be banned, leave it to the professionals and stop selling them out of tents so idiots can light them off all night long.

Well here we are again where a bunch of journalists come over to #Mastodon for a few days because they can’t use #Twitter 🙄

Here’s a thought, stick around - the water is nice.

Archer on this #Caturday very intently watching the necklace that my wife is swinging in front of him 😻📷 Archer is one of the most unique cats I've ever had. Also, I love the way the Sigma 85mm photos turn out. #Photography #CatsOfMastodon

Yesterday #SCOTUS ruled that race shouldn't be considered in college admissions, to do so creates discrimination.

Today SCOTUS ruled discrimination is ok, as long as you're a white christian.

White christians are the most protected class of individuals in this country who've weaponized religious freedom as privilege.

Elections matter don't let perfect be the enemy of the good. This court must be reformed, else they will continue to drag us into the past. #USPol

Its actually insane how out of control companies are with implementing #AI just to say that they have AI. #ChatGPT is all over the place, no matter how dumb the implementation. Watching literally everyone under the sun trip over themselves to implement it just because.

The now abandoned concrete snow shed in the former town of Wellington, WA. This snow shed was built after the deadliest avalanche in US History to protect the track from future disasters. It now has a very post apocalyptic vibe. You could easily picture Joel and Ellie walking through here in #TheLastOfUs #Photography #Trains #Abandoned #SonyAlpha #PNW

The now abandoned Cascade Tunnel in the former town of Wellington, WA. Site of the deadliest avalanche in US history and once a bustling rail town, the tunnel was abandoned in 1929 when the new (and currently in use) Cascade Tunnel was opened. It now has a very post apocalyptic vibe. But beware of bears! #Photography #Trains #Abandoned #SonyAlpha #PNW #TrainTuesday

cdlhamma, 11 months ago to mastodon

I know I’m late to this but #Mastodon admins committing to block #Meta and their new activitypub project before even seeing what it is or how it will work is short sighted and petty. Moves like this will hurt federation as a whole.

These moves could bring more people into this ecosystem who otherwise would know nothing about it.

If it happens and it’s a disaster fine, but to reject it out of hand? #mastoadmin

Deception Falls near Skykomish, WA. This is a really great #Waterfall to stop at because its right off the road. I took this from under the bridge! #Photography #SonyAlpha #PNW #WaterfallWednesday

Steam Locomotive 924 out on Fathers Day at Northwest Railway Museum in Snoqualmie, WA. It was an awesome sight to see! 🚂 📷 Also I don't know if #TrainTuesday is a thing, but it feels right #Photography #SonyAlpha #PNW #Trains #SteamEngine

@Teri_Kanefield not sure if you saw this or not. Seems like he's probably incapable of following this order

The #Republicans are doing it again, what they did in 2016. They are going to split the vote of all the "normal" Republican voters between Christie, Pence, etc. And Donald Trump will walk away with the nominiation again.

Then they'll all cave like the spineless cowards they are, and line up support a man who basically attempted a coup. Including Pence, who he could have gotten killed. #USPol #USPolitics #Elections
