If Ukraine makes it out of the war in one piece they're basically going to have a nation of Sardukar and an intimate knowledge of AI based drone warfare.

I'd make friends with them now..

I’ve taken over the listing of Canadian mastodon servers at https://MastodonServer.ca from @mike thanks for your work on this Mike!

Don’t expect much change, though I might update the domain name at some point to be more “Fedi” inclusive?

I also enabled it on ActivityPub. You should be able to […]

This morning, I opened some "traditional" social media, which I still follow mainly to stay up to date on local information and events. I did a personal survey: out of 50 posts I saw, 35 were clearly AI-generated (even by ordinary people), some completely inaccurate and imprecise, not to mention […]

I've been waiting for #minnesotawild #openingnight for weeks now. #hockey is the perfect antidote to the emotional rollercoaster of the #worldonfire.

Pope Leo’s secret letter to U.S. bishops just leaked. TrumpWorld is not going to like what it says.

This week in Rome, Pope Leo XIV quietly handed a letter to a group of visiting U.S. bishops.

Inside were messages from migrants families separated by deportations, children afraid to sleep and […]

Barron again a short handed hero as he breaks up the play and gets it to Schiefele for the tying goal in the second period. JETS:2 KINGS:2 #NHLJets #hnom

#NHLJets strike first on a much more organized power play from the Jets. Iafalo strikes in close. JETS:1 KINGS:0 #hnom

:Jets: I'll also be watching Morrissey this morning. He looked flat out bad in the first game which is uncharacteristic to say the least. I'm hoping it's just a little rust. #hnom #NHLJets

:Jets: A matinee game for the #NHLJets today against the Kings. I'm looking to see more cohesiveness from the second and third line. Defensive zone play really needs to tighten up as well. I want Parker Ford and Cole Koepke reunited on the fourth line. There was some chemistry, not sure why they […]

You ever think to yourself “but I am just one person, what can I do to make a difference?”

It turns out that “wear an inflatable frog costume and go downtown” is actually a really reasonable answer.

I'd love to hear from people coming here recently from #bluesky re their complaints about the other place and what their thoughts on the experience here are.

Was it more about Singal or Kirk or Link or other stuff? Thanks.

💯 It also helps protect their identity from the armed thugs.
Hoping this turns into a huge movement.
