Frankly, I’m shocked more Olympians aren’t getting COVID. It seemed like a given.

If you are still on the hellsite, you support this. Insanity.

One or more of my neighbors are putting out unshelled peanuts. The squirrels think it's great but I'm finding buried peanuts in my garden and in the planters right on the porch! The squirrels come back and dig them up, making a mess and ruining my flowers. If I post something on the FB group, I'll get bitched at 10-fold. Peanuts are bad for squirrels.

I have begun to put sarcastic remarks in my forum signature/profile instead of saying it outright.
Because I don't fucking care about offending jerks.
Let's see if anyone notices...

I regret that I had to reset my default search engine back to #Google.
#DuckDuckGo and StartPage were returning news results from MSN (mostly) and other aggregators consistently - NOT the original source. I was being sent to MSN almost 70% of the time, which I hate.
I have not been able to find a good #search engine anymore so it's back to the least worst of them.

Tom Nichols of @npub1fjp…3dyz blew it in this piece when he said (about Twitter): "The people who leave annoy me.. You don’t solve anything by going anywhere. You stay and you voice your objections"
Totally wrong. By staying and complaining (or just existing) you are propping up an awful, ruined platform run by a jerk. It's naive to think you are changing anything by staying. Only by strongly rejecting the nonsense by leaving do you make a point.

Let's put our expensive neighborhood near the beach and ask the government to protect us. This infuriates me. Stop developing shorelines; it will not go well.
High tide at East Beach reaches the dunes. Norfolk residents worry they’ll be gone before next beach nourishment in 2026.

I would like from #Mastodon #Fediverse a better way to write and display threads. And, there needs to be a more widespread acceptance of embedding toots like there was with tweets. I still see so many options to promote content on the old bird site. So many people stuck in the old mud.

@npub153s…cvd9 I find BlueSky to be vapid or obnoxious chatter. I doubt I’ll be actively using that account in the future. I like it here too.

@npub1typ…c8hh Fair. I’d love to see more smaller cars on the road.

I'm contacting as many US governmental institutions as I can think of to encourage them to get off "Xitter". Please consider doing the same. #Twitter #Xitter #Government #TwitterMigration #Fediverse

Is there such thing as incompetence day? Or is that every day in the 21st century?

@npub1cse…40w3 Or government agencies.
