Absolutely fucking batshit insane that Lyft is not only charging a waiting fee now, but that they charge by the second.

My grandfather, who fought Nazis and fascists for five years, and who watched others die doing so, during his deployments across some of Europe's most important naval theatres. My whole family tree is literally shaped by his periods of shore leave.

I don't get as much chance to film animals these days and I really miss that. This footage has been sitting in my Google Drive for years and I'd love to share it with you now.

A real highlight of @qgcon.bsky.social has been @murderveggie.bsky.social talking about proactive community management during (and before!) a crisis, which was a fantastic lesson in social media literacy.
