Apparently my edible has just kicked in, so I’m doing the adult thing and going to sleep. I promise to catch up 2nd thing tomorrow. (First is always forums.)
@SrRochardBunson @Hey_Beth @thejenniwren That’s how my kids started watching them originally.
@thejenniwren @Hey_Beth @SrRochardBunson His hair was totally magnificent. There’s no lie there, sista.
@SrRochardBunson @Hey_Beth @thejenniwren Never the Horchak.
@SrRochardBunson @Hey_Beth @thejenniwren Oh that picture brings back such good memories! Ooo oooo oooo Mr. Kotter, Mr. Kotter!
@Hey_Beth @SrRochardBunson @thejenniwren Are you sure about that? I mean, there are a lot of teachers here. (Very few nuns though, so you probably won’t get your hand smacked with a ruler.)
@Hey_Beth @SrRochardBunson You’ve got that right!

9 fatally shot in separate incidents in US Monday!
OK, #GOP, when is it enough? If you want to be taken seriously in your "protection" of embryos and fetuses, how about caring for us after we’re born? #ONEV1 #DemVoice1 #GunViolence #NRA

Mystery of George Santos’s $700,000 in Campaign Loans Deepens - The New York Times https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/24/nyregion/george-santos-loan-campaign-finances.html
@Hey_Beth @SrRochardBunson I hope you’re able to find them. That frustrated me when I changed instances. Never again.

Jan 6 was largely a Christian nationalist assault, Mike Pompeo told the committee that he met “with a group of pastors who were in town” on January 6th, and yet January6thCmte asked no follow up questions about that meeting?! #NAR #ChristianNationalism #Pompeo #January6 #Pompeo #dominionism Thread: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1606534526142144514.html
@sixfootcandy @opaquejacob If you can hold onto it for a full 3 minutes, you’re doing a lot better than many of us! Thank the gods for Apple’s keychain. I have no clue what ANY of my passwords are.
@marcelias Shame Post didn’t have the presence to at least notify those on its wait list that they didn’t have to wait any longer.

Someone asked me, "Why use 3rd party apps when an official Mastodon app exists?"
It comes down to this: being open source, Mastodon is built for choice.
Some people like vanilla ice cream. Others like strawberry or chocolate.
Well, some people like vanilla Mastodon. Others like strawberry @icecubesapp or chocolate @ivory.
The fact Mastodon allows 3rd party apps is one large reason it's better than Twitter.
It's nice that we all get to choose our preferred flavour of the Fediverse!

Remember how all the data stored locally from Signal Desktop is completely unencrypted?
Since the developers clearly aren't interested in changing this, I've written a shell script that makes it a breeze to encrypt and decrypt your Signal Desktop data using VeraCrypt.
It will also create a launcher for you (an .app on MacOS and a shell script on Linux) to automatically mount the encrypted storage before launching Signal, and automatically unmount it when exiting.
Just run the launcher instead of the app, and pretend that the password prompt is a Signal feature :)

Some of the best things in life are totally Free. Here’s another great example especially for young people in USA who recently had some books banned in their neck of the woods:

Time for the poll that keeps coming into my head whenever I see the name #GeorgeSantos:
Friends of #Mastodon and the #Fediverse, who are you MOST LIKELY to believe is an actual living being that exists in real life?
Oh ffs. From @AFP: Vaccine misinformation spawns 'pure blood' movement. The movement spins anti-vaccine narratives focused on unfounded claims that receiving blood from people inoculated against the coronavirus "contaminates" the body https://u.afp.com/idgH

There have been 39 mass shootings in America in the first 3 weeks of 2023.
That number was 36 yesterday.
End the filibuster. Pass gun control. Now.
