Never, EVER trust #Meta. There's no benefit of the doubt here; they squandered that ages ago. Their content moderation is a joke, and they'd much rather serve advertisers and shareholders than users. Keep their hateful content out of fediverse!

If your instance isn't blocking #threads, always remember that you can block the threads.net domain yourself.

#NowPlaying - #JudasPriest, "Invincible Shield." 50+ (!) years and still going strong! And yes, the legendary #RobHalford still hits those high notes among the unparalleled twin guitar attack. They haven't had a run this great since the Painkiller era!

Radio Shack's "Science Fair" crystal radio kit was one of my favorite toys growing up; I grounded it to a radiator pipe in my bedroom and could receive quite a few local and regional stations back in the 1980s.

I reacquired one about a year ago; every now and then I'll fiddle with it, trying in vain to bring in our town's lone AM station. If we have decent weather this summer for a change, it'll give me an excuse to try some outdoor antenna work!

A few weeks ago we shared some of the music we at Team Thunderbird use to get focused. We'd love to know what tunes - songs, playlists, or even genres - help you flow through that Monday morning inbox. ✉️ 🎧

A man in a white dress shirt and black tie sits at a desk in front of computer, listening to music on headphones. His eyes are closed and he's waving one hand as if he's conducting an orchestra.

Sometimes I think about how much media will be forever lost in decades to come because everything is now on streaming platforms that delete things on a whim instead of physical media.

Please boost for a wider demographic, and feel free to reply with your sport of choice!

I'll kick things off. For me - American football. Also, baseball, tennis, and occasionally soccer.

DAY 6: Your favorite animated film.

"My Neighbor Totoro." I always recommend this film as an instant cure for the blues. This movie has gotten me through many a foul and sad mood. It's ageless and beautiful. I want to live in the Japanese countryside, and I want to fill my house with Totoros! (Sadly, I only have one...so far.)
