For anyone looking at getting a VPN, the worldwide trend to an Orwellian internet has caused them to double in price since I last looked at switching less than a year ago.
Mullvad is still €5/month (<$6 currently)
It's a bit strange if you're not a techy but I promise it's easy to setup and use

@bsky.app please split out "Autoplay videos and GIFs", I do want GIFs to autoplay, never videos. Just because they're both "moving pictures" they're drastically different in content and use

Trains for the win again
Good morning!
Last night I learned three important things:
1) My flight today from Toronto to NYC to give a talk in the Planetarium at AMNH tomorrow was cancelled due to the snow
2) The best alternative Air Canada could offer me was Wednesday morning: too late!
3) But there is a TRAIN 🚂

I had a Spanish professor once who told us that when the government is firing on its own citizens, the government has failed, not its citizens.

Businesses of NYC, you don't need to have your heaters set so high!
I know I run hot, but I shouldn't have to go outside in a blizzard without a coat to cool off once an hour
I was in Chicago last week in the same temp range without this problem

I officially have a favorite subway station. Through a minor mixup i had to get off at 50th and wait for a diff train
It was empty, the only thing to be heard was creaking of the tracks and hum of electrical equipment
I found my zen state

Have a Ring camera?? You’re basically an #ICE agent now. They’re tapping your camera for their fascist bs.
I was already wary, and now i know they're just bad. Thankfully i no longer have any of their cams to rip out and recycle
Thanks @404media.co for covering this.

I am pretty well into a script titled "you are being misled about renewable energy"
Not gonna pull out studies. Don't need to go over climate change.
Just a simple, plain conversation where we look at the realities of renewables vs. fossil fuels and I say "stop letting Republicans lie to you"

you know this guy is a FOR REAL photographer because he's telling the story of his brutal, unconditional arrest by federal goons and can't help but slip in a gear review
Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.
