The good news is that I have received the "free" COVID tests funded by our tax dollars.
The bad news is that they expired 9 months ago and, based upon the revised expiration date, I have just 3 months to get COVID. If I want to know that I have it. $hithole country.

Heads up, USAians: Another round of free COVID tests can be ordered starting today. They are probably going to be expired, but with date extensions, so don't get to excited. 🤷♀️

Beginning next Monday, you can order new free Covid test kits for the upcoming wave of the new variants. Groundhog day, anyone?

Huge news: 3,300 UPS pilots say they will stand in solidarity with the 340,000 Teamsters, should they choose to strike, and not fly.
UPS pilots won’t fly if Teamsters strike
Union pilots at UPS are ready to show solidarity with Teamsters workers if there is a strike, which would ground UPS Airlines.

If Bluesky seems dead or low activity on your end it might be that you haven't yet made the most of its design. It's different from Twitter in some key ways so you have to interact differently. I'm writing these tips below from my non-techy perspective, techies please weigh in if I get things wrong:

If ChatGPT has human trainers, what are the odds that it doesn't turn out to be a propaganda-drunk dumbass? After reading its "runaway trolley" answers, I'm thinking the odds are ZERO.

I know you skeeters have probably already heard this, but you might want to tell your mutials on the bird app. I'm seeing way too many accounts over there celebrating their "new" string accounts.

If you know @Balancement on Twitter, then you know you must follow him on Bluesky.
Leaving this up for a bit, just in case.
You may have known me as @Balancement on the swiftly-dying bird app which shall not be named? Poetry and Tchaikovsky and Socialism is my game. The air seems sweeter here...

Remember how we used to fantasize about escaping to Canada? 😬
Oh my god Canada
NEW: Google confirms it’s only blocking Canadian news orgs as defined under the Online News Act and would not, for example, block the New York Times or Fox News.
In effect, this change only means we’ll see news produced inside Canada replaced by news produced outside of Canada.
