@Geh4Peh Looks like they will! LOL! The other server people haven't given me grief about my content, but I'll feel better about posting from the bears' den!!
@BTyson It's a better place for my content, and it's run by a small, cozy cave of bears. Very intimate! :)

A rare bit of good news on the LEA front: the LAPD is banning the public display of the 'thin blue line flag' because it has been co-opted by right-wingers and fascists.

[9 AM] Snow from our upcoming storm is expected to be quite heavy! Heavy snow = tough to shovel. Check out some tips below on how to best manage snow removal over the next few days.
@nuncio That's strange! I ran #solus for a while. Maybe it is no more? Problem was, the speech never worked right. I think Brisk Menu came from there?
