Saw someone asking about "who to complain to" about being censored on the Fediverse. 😂

@ai6yr That looks like serious WX you are having over there in CA. And yet it doesn't seem that long ago you were tooting wildfire alerts. Stay safe!

Once again, the ancient saying is proven true: If you're going to take a shot at the king, you better not miss.

Hello #Mastodon, I'm Mickey The Jedi!

I was on #X, formerly known as #Twitter but I've got sick of #ElonMusk so I decided it was time to join Mastodon, far from the craziness

As for what I want to talk about here: you could say #DisneyPlus was made for me as I really love #StarWars and #Disney & #Pixar animation, and I watch some #Marvel series/movies based on how appealing they are to me (selective)

Not very talkative but I love to read and like other people's opinions about these things!

86 St in Bensonhurst, with its relatively low rents and immigrants from dozens of countries, is a great place to shop for food in Brooklyn.

An Uzbek grocery just opened there, and of course it has tea.

Yellowknife is a long way from my part of the world and for me it's famous for the TV series about the Ice Pilots at Buffalo Airways. I hope everyone over there can be safe and return to normality real soon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_Pilots_NWT #aviation @mike

Fixed my #adsb receiver, hopefully- switched to a beefy AudioWind DC to DC regulator to go from 12V to 5V supply for the #raspberrypi - prior converter seemed unreliable. #electronics

Now the Washington lawyers want to destroy digital collections of scratchy 78rpm records, 70-120 year old, built by dedicated preservationists online since 2006.

Who benefits?

After 3 days in the UK I have finally looked towards the correct direction before crossing the street.

@rm4 Saw your mention of Google+ which was something I used to enjoy along with G Reader for RSS. Did you ever use #Friendfeed? That was a fantastic social platform until it was acquired by F...book.

The fight for the survival of AM radio is playing out not only on Capitol Hill but across America. I went deep in the heart of #Texas to give a listen. Here's my VOA News reporting: https://www.voanews.com/a/am-radio-fights-to-stay-on-car-dashboards/7202566.html

Never realised there was a #CasioCult on the fediverse! I'm still wearing them most days, here's my current daily driver.

Once upon a time folks collected pull tabs from drink cans. Is this still a thing? I’ve got several year’s worth that I’ve gathered under this premise. Do I toss them into recycling or is there still some better purpose? Winnipeg centric.

Hmm, I have to wonder if #JeffBezos just bailed out a friend #trapped in #Palermo #Italy. Flew in from the US, appears to have landed in Palermo, picked someone up, and turned around and heading back in this direction. #wildfires #rescue (Edit: or, he unwisely decided to vacation on Palermo in a massive heatwave with wildfires, I guess?)
