My indoor habanero plant has had these tiny buds on it for over a week. Come on, bloom!!!! #chile #habanero
Two years ago today white terrorists committed violence against the U.S. government and US at large. People were killed. We must not forget this. Some of those attending the traitors’ rally are still in Congress now and obstructing govt now. The Justice Dept must prosecute THE LOT. Had Black people committed these same terrorist acts we wouldn’t have been prosecuted. We’d be dead. We’ve been killed for far less. Just look at two of many examples: Breonna Taylor and Fred Hampton. #BlackMastodon

This is Buffalo #Bills assistant athletic trainer Denny Kellington. He is the reason #DamarHamlin is still alive.

He performed #CPR on Hamlin on the field Monday night, and doctors today said his speed and skill were "absolutely vital."

@schizanon For WordPress you upload a folder of files, launch web page, fill in 6 fields and done. Rock solid.

For Mastodon you follow a 3k word, 40 point install document, with hundreds of dependencies, and then, if your lucky it may work. But. Or very likely.

Imagine how quickly Mastodon / #ActivityPub would grow if an instance were as easy to host and install as something like WordPress.

To me, that’s the point that the #fediverse really takes off.

Did anyone see this Hallelujah paragraph in the New York Times today? Here's the part we celebrate. (Context is the current melt down of the Republican party...)

"That ideology of destruction defies characterization by traditional political labels like moderate or conservative."

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/05/us/politics/republican-party-leadership.html

Did you hear that? The Times politics desk is now admitting that "conservative" is not a good name for the MAGA forces overtaking the GOP.

And it only took 12 years!

Republican Party Stumbles Through the Wilderness With No Clear Leaders

With no unified agenda or clear leadership, Republicans face the prospect that the anti-establishment fervor that has powered the party in recent years could now devour it.

@MattHH @jeffjarvis I was talking with someone the other day about what the job responsibilities will look like for a Photo Editor in the future: “3+ years of prompted AI photo curation” and what their title would be listed as. AI Prompter? AI Editor?

I keep saying journalists should leave Twitter and use Mastodon, which is better for them in every way. At TechDirt I've posted a somewhat lengthy why-and-how: https://www.techdirt.com/2023/01/04/journalists-and-others-should-leave-twitter-heres-how-they-can-get-started/

Journalists (And Others) Should Leave Twitter. Here’s How They Can Get Started

Summary: Elon Musk has demonstrated contempt for free speech in general, and journalism in particular, with his behavior at Twitter. He is also demonstrating why it is foolhardy for anyone to rely …
