The #ATProtocol sounds very interesting, adding account portability, decentralized identifiers, and custom feeds lacking in #activitypub . I have followed @bsky.brid.gy to bridge this #fediverse account to #bluesky , will see if this post propagates there!

What I find really scary this holiday is polarization and violence. I agree with António Guterres, secretary general of the United Nations, that “The grievances of the Palestinian people cannot justify the appalling attacks by Hamas.

How many civilian Palestinian lives must be taken to "avenge" each Israeli death?

What do you pay for gas and power in rural #Alaska? In Gustavus our power is about to go from $0.39 to $0.54/KWh. I don't know our gas price; I'll have to drive my #EV to check the pump!

National political fight over electric vehicles surfaces in Alaska

The fossil fuel industry and its supporters have criticized the Biden EV vision, but in Alaska, where use and infrastruture is expanding, the vehicles are winning fans.
