@JillsJoy I love robbins, even though last year our house came under serious attack by a tertitorial male.

@JillsJoy no permanent damage, but it went on for two weeks, where we couldnt use the front door for all the poop.

Is anyone aware of a bot that counting the number of federated accounts? Just curious about the uptake by Threads users. Out of their puported hundred million users, I would anectdotally guess about 1000 users have voluntarily federated, but maybe you know better than me?

@FinchHaven I may have to roll my own bot. I'd like to know generally how many accounts have voluntarily federated. It seems to me that very few have.

Doug Burgum used to be somebody. Its been sad to watch his decline from successful businessman to grovelling at the feet of a criminal.

The old Sunny Brook mural, .

It was initially done in 1949 by Charles Selberg, an artist from ND who went on to do many impressive things with his life. The painting was whitewashed shortly after its completion by a group against the consumption of alcohol. In 2003, Chandler O'Leary, an artist from the Fargo-Moorhead area, restored the painting.

If you've ever found yourself missing the "good old days" of the , what is it that you miss? (Interpret "it" broadly: specific websites? types of activities? feelings? etc.) And approximately when were those good old days?

No wrong answers — I'm working on an article and wanted to get some outside thoughts.

@molly0xfff The web seems more and more like something that's done to me, instead of with me.

On a multi-person video call this morning, we were asked what podcasts we listen to.

I didn't get a chance to chime in but here's my answer:

None regularly. I don't have the time, even at fast playback, to listen to something linear that I could scan much more quickly if it was text.

Podcasters, please post transcripts.

@dangillmor Another day, another block. We are the algorithm.

North Dakota animal cruelty law: https://ndlegis.gov/cencode/t36c21-2.pdf

They really should be prosecuting their governor on this. "Hating" an animal (her word) does not constitute "cause" by any rational definition. And looking at the other killings she's done besides her dog, there may be enough there to kick it up to a felony.

@mrbee Yeah, that would be South Dakota. Not North Dakota.

I won't make a prediction, but I don't think I'm alone in my growing enthusiasm to take down the right wing facists. If I disagree with on 10 things, I disagree with on 1,000 things. Never have I ever voted for myself (ie a perfect candidate). Its like buying a car: choose the one that most closely fits your needs. fits my needs in 2024, even an imperfect one.

@Lassielmr I wouldn't take that bet.
