Kenyan #journalist Alvin Kaunda was reporting live from Nairobi when a curious baby #elephant, Kindani, decided to join the broadcast. The playful elephant stuck her trunk in Alvin's mouth, making for a hilarious moment! A joyful reminder of wildlife's charm and the work of the Sheldrick Trust!

The new hotness is blocking accounts that conform with one's politics but are clearly farming outrage and fear. They might be bots! They might not be! But whatever they are, they're not helping!

Noticed today that apple has also succumbed to pressure on GoA ridiculousness. I will pay for a mapping app if I must, as a matter of protest, even if only to feel better about it. Trying HERE WeGo first. No need for $ yet. Eliminated MAPS.ME

Hear me out: If the military does away with diversity, then it will be mostly white males in service. F47 wants to conquer other countries. Maybe this problem solves itself.

With updates to the KC website (board members) today, it looks like F47 is following through on their announcement, insofar as they can. Which is pretty far in this case. Am thinking of selling the pair of tickets I have to a show this summer. I want nothing to do with it until this over.

Still getting used to this platform but. what I wanted to say is that I'm fine with the echo. It was the algorithms and stress that I looked to escape. SM is what you make it, folks. Post wisely. bsky.app/profile/muel...
The most hilarious part is that this drivel is paywalled
Opinion - The problem with Bluesky: It won’t broaden our horizons: In the wake of Donald Trump’s election win, the social-media platform has enjoyed a surge of new users looking for an alternative to Elon Musk’s X. But will it be useful, if it just creates an echo chamber for the left?
