At Belvedere House Ireland young artists expressed something about what it would've been like to be stolen into marriage to a cruel and jealous tyrant at age 16 and locked away from anyone else for 31 years until his death.

Under their current leadership I was reluctant to mention my un-european vacation on FB or IG but it was a good trip. I wonder if BluSky compresses the stars out of astronomy photos as thoroughly as FB and IG do?

Grok, please show an example of the opposite of "woke."

I sure hope @alsobrooks.senate.gov @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social know that the same yahoos who want unregulated crypto don't care at all about data security or national security. Preventable chaos becomes predictable chaos if it passes.

I thought loudness peaked with my Nokia E-61. Because everyone in the building needs to know that You've got mail!

#Ukraine did not start Putin's war
Russia is a criminal state led by a violent mobster. One-side negotiation with Putin that helps him rape and pillage his victims not diplomacy, it's idiocy!
The United States must never tolerate mobster shakedowns of ANY country from ANY leader!

Those with obscene wealth and power have only known the narrowest shard of the universe that can exist within the confines of their small minds.

One in 5 transgender Americans serve their country in the armed forces. This is almost twice the rate of cis-gender Americans.

300 words is not enough to cover what is happening but I plan to post here and elsewhere. We must shine light on the lies, stop the gaslighting and remind each other that we are not alone as we face the lies, hatred and gaslighting of delusional men and their followers.

Peak post-war German mechanical complexity so gummed up with 60 years of dust and dried whale-oil repair pros won't touch it. But AI can generate believable bad instructions for "the intriguing world" of repairing a Zeiss Ikon Contaflex.
(Some darn fool is trying to use AI to repair a government)

I'm glad you're on bsky.
Threads is under the Meta's Texas moderators and #Project2025's Dustin Carmack as public policy director. My FB post regarding Carmack's impact on FB was removed with no recourse. No threads.

Is it #DEI to ignore an entire gender and members of all races except the one that under-serves when naming military bases and then choosing a name not based on military service but on the convenience sharing a last name as a civil war traitor and slaver?

Done:
- Switched default search engine to duckduckgo because google pushes racist tabloids like Grípt as news
- Unfriended someone who spread hate against Mariann Budde & LGBTQ+ people

Todo:
Post less on Instagram/FB, more links to here, Mastodon & Medium

I wore out our 1990s camcorder while trying to digitize tapes but I found this one at Blackrock market which was in perfect shape except for a missing charger which I had. I'm ready for TikTok... or a Blair Witch Project sequel!

The U.S. embassy flag was at half mast on Sunday out of respect for a good man. Jimmy Carter (1924-2024), farmer, nuclear engineer, U.S. Navy veteran, volunteer, builder, humanitarian, peacemaker, American, human...*

The GRACE cafe is inside an ancient church in an Irish midland town. A sign outside said "Come to discuss interesting topics!" The Paper Kites soft folk music added to the gentle vibe. As with bsky, I'll come again to learn if it is a safe and welcoming place.
