@georgetakei if your phone is off (i.e. on a plane), or you're out of service area (e.g. cave tour at Mt Shasta), there will be no missed call notification.
This behavior is disqualifying for a Supreme Court justice. Alito is not an impartial arbiter of the law, especially when Donald Trump is involved. His brazen actions underscore the urgent need for increased congressional oversight of the court as well as structural reforms to restore its legitimacy: https://act.indivisible.org/survey/majority_over_maga_signup?source=mastodon&medium=directpost
I want to be more active in different discussions on here but don't want to dump irrelevant stuff onto everyone or make additional accounts. I wish we could have different personas or sub-profiles, so I could read a single TL but post to different feeds that could be subscribed separately.
@tess if there were some way (such as subprofiles, and not hash tags) to categorize my posts so people could filter more easily, I'd use it for sure though.
@aeva@tess this is something where the forum structure would work better at keeping context. Lemmy/kbin anyone? (I know there's some decent degree of interoperability with Mastodon, but they don't seem to see as much usage.)
"I've done live fact-checking during breaking news events for years. But the sheer volume of viral misinformation today regarding Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi's helicopter crash posted by fake osint accounts and blue tick grifters for engagement (on Twitter/X) has been something to behold," says Shayan Sardarizadeh, a journalist at BBC Verify.
Not lost on me that for some of these proposals and ideas I keep seeing pop up for C, everyone's just kind of trying to figure out the magic set of syntax they can write that will let them escape the consequences of the system.
Versus C++, where they just Add Something To Do It.

and in publishing the names of innocent sources to their grave and imminent risk of harm.
He didn't publish names. He gave info to the guardian newspaper with names encrypted. One or more of their journalists broke the encryption. The Guardian hung Assange out to dry. They and the journalist responsible have never faced charges. Also if a nation commits crimes and is found out where is the justice
The World Professional Association for Transgender Health, WPATH, argues that Hilary Cass of the UK Cass Review lacks the competences needed to make recommendations on transgender youth and transgender health.
Members of the GOP are no strangers to delusion and lies. The latest example (and definitely not the last) is South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, who recently gained attention for shooting her puppy and writing about it. According to Noem, though, this is business as usual for farmers. However, real farmers say otherwise. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/noem-farm-life-puppy-excuse
My parents owned 48 acres down in the Redlands above Homestead. We grew okra. I learned to hate okra, spent many a day weeding rows and working with the folks who came up from Florida City to pick.
We had a German Sheperd named Debon. Unfortunately Debon went into a neighbor's fields and killed a calf as the mother was delivering it. Since it was a first time we covered the loss..
Unfortunately Debon got loose a few weeks later and went into the neighbors fields again and killed one calf and injured another to the point it had to be put down.
This time the neighbor got the sheriff involved and we had a choice. Find somewhere where Debon could live or put him down.
So Debon got to be a city dog living in a small fenced backyard up in Sarasota where my Aunt and Uncle lived.
He was one of many animals we acquired when people dumped them out in the sticks. We kept many cats around but only one dog at a time. Others went to the pound.
