"What Ireland has lost at such a relatively young age is one of our greatest and most gifted composers, songwriters and performers of recent decades, one who had a unique talent and extraordinary connection with her audience, all of whom held such love and warmth for her." - President Michael D Higgins

A giant billboard showing a photoshoot with wounded Ukrainian soldiers, in the style of Dove beauty adverts, has been installed outside parent company Unilever’s HQ in #London. It comes on the same day that Unilever is officially placed on the Ukrainian Government’s International Sponsors of War list.

If there was one piece of advice I could give to new Mastodon users who are finding their feeds quiet or boring, it is to follow as many people and hashtags as you can. This is not Twitter; there is no algorithm, it is not going to fill your feed with stuff it thinks you like. You have to curate it yourself. Once you do, though, it's so much more vibrant and rewarding than Twitter has been for a year. #TwitterMigration #Twitter

I will arise and go now

@SomeGadgetGuy @thematthewjchin if only we could all be so clever and level headed perhaps we'd have gone extinct already.
@SomeGadgetGuy @thematthewjchin this is true. I particularly like the times he was so resolutely unflappable in alienating his own child, calling a expert diver a "pedo" for disagreeing with him, firing one of the greatest Icelandic people of all time for the same offence, arguably committing multiple frauds while potentially high and similarly bidding $420 (or $44bn total) for a bird based platform that really needs to start flapping it's wings to avoid the hastily approaching ground.
