Is Twitter posting working after all?

This really is just a quick test post to see what's going on. When I check the Twitter developer portal, my app (which connects this blog to Twitter) no longer shows as "suspended". What does it mean, I wonder? So let's give it a try. Just to give this post some meaningful content, though, here's a beautiful image generated by MidJourney in response to my request to depict a stray cat with its little robot friend. If it shows up on Twitter, good. If not... well, frankly, I don't much care anymore.

Summer in April - https://spinor.info/weblog/?p=11776

Summer in April…

Once again, we have summer in April. This picture shows the melting pile of dirty snow in our visitor parking area, photographed from our upstairs bedroom window. The date and the temperature widget speak for themselves. (Yes, I still use Windows widgets, through a third-party tool. What can I say? I like them.)

Oh, those Finns... https://spinor.info/weblog/?p=11762

Oh, those Finns…

Someone asked the other day, what benefit is there to NATO from Finland's membership? I think this meme sums it up nicely. Yup, the Finns. Who managed to fight the USSR to a draw at the height of its military capabilities, even as the Red Army was steamrolling over the remains of the feared Wehrmacht. Yup, the Finns who share a border with Russia that is as long as all the previous NATO-Russia borders from Poland to Turkey, combined. Thank you, Finland, for trusting the rest of us.
