The other day I was wondering if at the midterms there was enough of a blue wave to take back the House and even get to 60 seats in the Senate. If so then Trump would be impeached and removed from office. But then, maybe the two scariest words in the English language hit me, "President Vance!" I wonder if Trump specifically picked Bance because he figured people would be too scared of a Vance presidency that they wouldn't impeach him.US Politics

@nprofile…eag4 I've had hearing loss and tinnitus in my left ear ever since I had the flu 30 years ago.

I wonder if everyone misheard Trump when he renamed the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of Amerikkka. I'm thinking he meant to spell America with three k's.

Since Meta stands to gain so much from shutting down TikTok, I wonder if Trump will flip flop again if Zuckerberg out bids the TikTok backers for Trump's favor. #Meta #tiktok

I haven't given up my Meta account yet, but I have turned off all notifications from Facebook and deleted Facebook and Messenger from all of my devices. I don't need to be on a platform that allows hate speech or considers fact checking to be censorship. Also, saying that Texans are fairer than the rest of the country isn't true and is just obvious pandering to Trump and his followers. #Facebook #Meta

Does Mona have any sound effects? Something like a swoosh sound when you post something? I looked around the settings, but I didn't find anything. #Mona #Mastodon

I'm giving the Mona Mastodon app a try on my iPhone. I've been happy with IceCubes, and I know I'm not using all of it's features, but I wanted one last project before my holiday vacation ends. #Mona #IceCubes #Mastodon

What's all of this concern about Mastodon losing people to blueSky? People will leave or they won't. For me, until BlueSky has apps that are accessible as Mastodon then I won't be thinking about going anywhere. If it does have an interface that's as efficient for me to use as what I have on Mastodon then I'll think about adding a BlueSky account. It'll depend on content and features at that point. IMHO, it's all about choice, and I'm for as many accessible options as possible. #Mastodon #BlueSky #accessibility

I got my telescoping fiber glass cane from Ambutech today. I like it ,but I still need to take it out for a test spin. It has a dome tip, which I'm also curious to try out. I like it better than the folding canes I have since it's more rigid. It's also lighter than the Urban Explorer from Awarewolf. https://ambutech.com/

@npub1gaj…78dz No it's there. I hit the Windows key, typed start and press enter, and it took me to startup apps in the apps settings.
