Currently on the second episode of 'Harry & Meghan' from Netflix. Making up my own mind, watching it all the way through. Would love to know what other people think given it's IMDB is a dumpster fire.

I initially said I wouldn't watch it, mostly because it's something around which nobody can have a focused adult discussion, but here I am. #HarryAndMeghanNetfix

The more 'likes' we get for sharing fake news, they more we end up believing the crap we are sharing.

This experiment from USCB shows just how important social approval is to our view of the world. https://shar.es/afJuiS

Study shows the more β™₯’s people got when retweeting negative fake news, the more they agreed with the content

The five phases of joining #Mastodon:

1. Empty profile, elephant avatar
2. I guess I'm tooting? Is that what we're calling it?
3. Looks like I'm back here again. Time for an #introduction!
4. I have turned on Advanced Web View. I have installed five random beta clients via Testflight. I am following 15 hashtags and have created several lists.
5. (Re-follows you from self-hosted instance)

Watching the comedy crime #movie Amsterdam by David O Russell starring pretty much everyone including Christian Bale, Zoe Saldena, Mike Myers, John David Washington and Margot Robbie. It's currently on Amazon Prime.

This is a sturdy film. Christian Bale is an incredible actor, there are many exemplary names in this film (Michael Shannon and Rami Malek are two of my favourites) which means there are very few duff moments. Worth a watch. A bit slow but generally enjoyable. #moviereview

Just deactivated my Twitter account and I feel good, a little giddy, taller than I was a minute ago, maybe now immortal
The struggle is real.

Fun times with my newest old camera. Took this #Nikon Coolpix 800 out for a spin today. Uses a good old CF card, but apparently plugging it in to a computer was not a great thing to do as the directory name is invalid. #Linux to the rescue ❀️

I love this old #camera. Bought it a few weeks ago as 'untested' on eBay. It was announced in 1999, this example must be about 2000. 2.1mp of CCD goodness. #photography #digicam

Also apologies no alt text on image. Wouldn't let me add it.

"Eat at a local restaurant tonight. Get the cream sauce. Have a cold pint at 4 o’clock in a mostly empty bar. Go somewhere you’ve never been. Listen to someone you think may have nothing in common with you. Order the steak rare. Eat an oyster. Have a negroni. Have two. Be open to a world where you may not understand or agree with the person next to you, but have a drink with them anyways. Eat slowly. Tip your server. Check in on your friends. Check in on yourself. Enjoy the ride." Tony Bourdain
Asked AI to draw me as a character from Back To The Future... 😬

And my award for Mastodon Person of the Day goes to former Musk adviser on trust and safety (resigned)….
