Wisconsin native but found my way to Maryland decades ago. Work in northern Virginia. Have a cabin in complete nowhere WV. I do some photography and survival skills kind of stuff. Also studying like 12 languages at once via Duolingo. Been on mastodon since 2017 and am trying to explore different ways to use it.

A bunch of fucking people on the right are crying tonight about the results in Virginia. Y’all should take a moment and call your buddies who are the governor of Texas and Donald Trump. You’re a bunch of fucking losers. The voters have spoken. Unlike TX. Fuck around and find out.

Farmers won their right-to-repair fight against John Deere. The settlement includes a 10-year “agreement by Deere to provide ‘the digital tools ​required for the maintenance, diagnosis, and repair’ of tractors, combines, and other machinery”. https://www.thedrive.com/news/john-deere-to-pay-99-million-in-monumental-right-to-repair-settlement

The ag manufacturing giant will also make digital diagnostic, maintenance, and repair tools available to third parties for 10 years.

EFF is Leaving X

After almost twenty years on the platform, EFF is logging off of X. This isn’t a decision we made lightly, but it might be overdue.

Turns out that poor US soldier who got arrested in Russia has a story. https://www.rferl.org/a/russia-gordon-black-arrested-tiktok-girlfriend-south-korea/32936746.html

Here’s the question: why didn’t anyone notice he was running off the rails?

Exclusive: The TikTok Trail Of The U.S. Soldier Arrested In Russia Left By His Russian 'Wife'

A Russian woman who described U.S. soldier Gordon Black as her "husband" posted numerous videos of the couple together in South Korea, giving a glimpse of their relationship before he became the latest American citizen arrested by Russian authorities.

Popping in after another absence. To share tonight’s musical journey. Watched the Eurovision semifinal on VLE from Finland. Some amazing productions. Ireland and Croatia got my vote. Metaphorically.

That reminded me I hadn’t listened to Otyken in awhile https://youtu.be/W7lwVHNkoyw?si=X_HvtIONShkKhBcH

And they always lead me back to the Hu
