@gedeonm@mastodon.social I will never understand the US lame duck period. The idea of losing an election and still having months in power.

@bigzaphod@mastodon.social @gedeonm@mastodon.social Wait, I was supposed to attend meetings?
One poll, etc, etc - but Ford’s PCs are one point ahead of A PARTY THAT HAS NO LEADER.

There’s a lot of criticism of King Charles’s visit to the US and whether he should have gone - but he understood the task before him.

In a similar vein, we have Gander Social launching in Canada, which is a new social network that interacts with Bluesky and I suspect is at least partially based on the same protocols (though I haven’t looked into details yet).
I have an account but haven’t used it yet because I can’t stand the app they’ve actually built. Hoping at some point for a third party solution but that’s at least partially on them, of course.
Great to see the Artemis crew back safely!
Important read in Doug Ford’s attack on local democracy.

@Aaronvegh @gedeonm I doubt it’s a concern for most people now, particularly in cities. That image isn’t realistic though - there is no way the satellites are competing in brightness with the ground lighting?
One poll, etc, etc - but now we have a poll showing the Ford PCs in second by 2 points. This is starting to look like something is really going on. Was the jet purchase a bigger misstep than it looked?

@emd@cosocial.ca Did you check the Disolay section in Ivory’s settings? You canhave it use the system size or you can set a custom size,

@emd@cosocial.ca Weird. It works for me. Hopefully the Tapbots people can figure it out.

@gedeonm@mastodon.social I see the Europeans may be saying that if the US invades Feeenland, they will seize all US military bases in Europe.

@gedeonm@mastodon.social Why wait. You’ve consistently demonstrated a character that makes many of want to support Icon Factory. That’s rare, and worthy of note.

@gedeonm@mastodon.social Those look really good. Is your kickstarter cookies-as-a-service? 🤞

@c_9@mstdn.ca I agree. I think there is a reasonable balance to be had, where would could continue to produce oil for export so long as there is a market (recognizing that the market is going to die fairly quickly due to economics of renewables), while we proactively transition to wind/sun/batteries and find ways to enter the renewable hardware markets.
I’m more immediately concerned about our nuclear fixation.
