Broadcast Bill: Intent to Over-Regulate Media Could Irreparably Damage Free Speech, Says NWMI

Vague definitions, opaque regulations and overriding powers proposed for the Union government were among the concerns the NWMI said it flagged to the Union government while providing feedback on the draft Bill.

Pure #blue skies and 75 degrees (Charlevoix , 7/11/2023) #PureMichigan #nwmi #7eleven
Funny that Sutton's Bay is like 30 miles away from #Charlevoix as the crow flies, but it's an hour and a half drive by car because of the bay. Someone should offer chartered boat trips across the GTB from Charlevoix to Northport (or Sutton's Bay) during the summer tourist season. #tcmi #nwmi #michigan #pureMichigan #traverse
I literally just called the #SuttonsBay Chamber of Commerce just to verify: The triple masted schooner "Alliance" will be in #Charlevoix on Wednesday for a Camp McSauba event, then in Sutton's Bay (on the #Leelanau Peninsula) Friday for a PUBLIC event 4 to 7 pm. Built in 1995, it has now made the 3000 mile journey from #Yorktown, #Virginia to its new home in Grand Traverse. Brought to #nwmi by the Inland Seas Education Association (ISEA). https://www.mlive.com/news/2023/07/triple-masted-schooner-to-get-big-welcome-after-3000-mile-journey-to-grand-traverse-bay.html #tcmi #pureMichigan #Michigan
Triple-masted schooner to get big welcome after 3,000-mile journey to Grand Traverse Bay

The 105-foot boat is set to arrive in the Traverse City area on July 14. Come meet the crew and take a tour.

Here are the "date of last #freeze" for #nwmi... So basically, wait until at least #May to plant anything outside... (And this is why #northernMichigan doesn't have #fireflies or poisonous #snakes https://www.weather.gov/apx/template_news_frostfreezespring #gardening #zone4a
Frost/Freeze Headlines Begin May 15th

Speaking of cold weather... Ever wondered how cold it gets in different parts of #michigan ? Here's the USDA Hardiness Zone map...Look how most of #Detroit and #GrandRapids are the warmest ( #Zone6a ) , and how the lake temperatures keep the left coast almost as warm up to #nwmi & the #straits of #mackinac. As you go north and inland you get down to #zone4a . these zones inform date of last frost and what plants survive the winter https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d1/Michigan_Hardiness_Zone_Map.webp/530px-Michigan_Hardiness_Zone_Map.webp.png #puremichigan #grmi #kzoo #swmi #miwx

Here's an interesting experiment... You can find out what different instances are showing for the same hashtag... For #nwmi for example, I can compare my instance ( https://dmv.community/tags/nwmi ) to a big one like mastodon dot social ( https://mastodon.social/tags/nwmi ) or a small one ( http://greatlakes.community/tags/nwmi... Or more generally, any Masto server = " your . instanceURL / tags / nwmi" ... I would be interested if you see any differences. Also feel free to boost. My hypothesis is that different servers are showing different results for the same hashtag. Try it with your server to observe real differences in what is visible. Please comment with any interesting differences you find.
