Point definitely taken. I'm just fascinated at how they've wedged themselves on this issue.

One phrase I took strongly to heart from my days in politics: "Never get in the way of a perfectly good train wreck."

The Economist argues that a lack of robots is in major European cities will be a wake up call that they’ve fallen behind the rest of the world.

Ignoring that this is a strange take — if limited mass transit, no universal healthcare and widespread gun violence hasn’t convinced Americans they’ve fallen behind, why would lack of Waymos make Europeans feel similarly?

I see a lot of toots from bluesky accounts that are commenting on a post over there. The original post is linked at the bottom of the toot, e.g.:

re: <link to bluesky>

This is awkward UI. Is it just how Mastodon processes quote tweets from bluesky, or something that can be made to work more smoothly?

As it is it loads bluesky in a new tab, which is slower than just showing the post in question as if it were another Mastodon post.

If my words were to fall from the heaves onto the paper you hold, would they have the weight of gold, by my soul a story never told, upon my mind so many thoughts to be, yet collection to never be seen, if my pen could type, and the paper stream, where in my head would you like to read, chaos and pain fill the time, from hunger and need my life begs to be, yet void of order and cohesive flow, with little words my volumes flow, with eyes to see and ears that hear, passions grow and hobbies go, from film to screen with beating themes, to transcend one task with an empty flask, I march my rhymes without a dime, so much to say but that's for another day, within my sleep the scene will play, to fill my time the words will play, no writer be nor painter nor crafter be, a million talents and thoughts will bring no honey to me, time has taken all from me, before my stories end, you will never see my pen;

It takes a lot of energy to be healthy, to do healthy things and think healthy thoughts.

When I break, I am incapable of these things.

If you see me calling myself names, self-harming, and being negative, it's not because I don't know how to do those things.

It means I've been doing them all along and finally lost my capacity to even do that much.

It means those coping mechanisms have stopped working.

Gaza is experiencing a blockade.

That's why everyone is starving — because there is not enough food to go around, because not enough is coming in. Israel has been blocking supplies for months.

They've been bombed into the Stone Age. There are no public libraries, schools, or universities. Even the hospitals have been reduced to rubble, and the makeshift medical centers are overwhelmed and understaffed.

But this one scammer claims they've experienced a miracle and have found someone who can overcome the blockade and is willing to part with their food. Or don't mind starving themselves — for a price — because they've figured out the impossible: how to take their money with them after they die. Oh, and they also somehow have electricity and internet, when everyone else is going without.

And your dollar can continue that work of fiction.

It's a SCAM. Do not send them one cent, nor share their nonsense.

Report and block.

"‘It happened so fast’: the shocking reality of indoor heat deaths in Arizona

Heat deaths could surge in the state as energy poverty linked to Trump’s energy and trade policies burns.

It was the hottest day of the year so far when the central air conditioning started blowing hot air in the mobile home where Richard Chamblee lived in Bullhead City, Arizona, with his wife, children, and half a dozen cats and dogs.

It was only mid-June but the heat was insufferable, particularly for Chamblee, who was clinically obese and bed-bound in the living room as the temperature hit 115F (46C) in the desert city – situated 100 miles (160km) south of Las Vegas on the banks of the Colorado River.

The family could not afford to immediately replace or repair the AC system, so instead they bought a window unit and installed it next to Chamblee’s bed. They positioned fans, ice packs and cold drinks close by in an effort to keep Chamblee cool and hydrated, checking in on him every couple of hours.

But the mobile home is old, open-plan and poorly insulated. Despite their efforts, the temperature hovered close to 100F in the house, according to Chamblee’s son John.

Chamblee overheated and struggled to breathe. His core temperature measured 108F when he was rushed to the emergency room, but doctors were unable to cool him down, according to the death report obtained by the Guardian using the Freedom of Information Act (Foia). Chamblee’s heart stopped working."

Trump: "The real numbers will be a year from now." I'm sure those who were laid off and can't find a job will be happy to hear that their unemployment won't be real until a year from now.

Lucy ...again ... on the driveway ... again ... 😅 But it's #TongueOutTuesday and there are teeeeef and a spiky #tongue and that two-tone nose 😻

Speaking of tongues, did you know that the spines, or #papillae, on a cat's tongue are made from keratin? Their hardness is similar to human fingernails. They're basically tiny brushes (and massage tools for blood circulation) #cats use for grooming. They're U-shaped so that saliva is retained and deposited right down to the skin, helping cats to cool off. Enzymes in their saliva also dissolve blood and other debris, so they can stay clean and healthy. And of course, the rough texture of a cat's tongue aids in drinking and eating.

(Wow, I really did go down a rabbit hole for this post!)
