@CiaraNi@mastodon.green Q. How does one talk sexy to rope? A. "I want you to tie me up."

@BobHorowitz @midendian When bringing the groceries, don't drop the oranges. They'll make a break for it downhill.

@jaykuo@universeodon.com It's Spain's airspace. They decide who flies in it. If US violates Spain's order on their airbases by flying missions to Iran, Spain could close their airspace to US military aircraft. Nothing US fan do about it.

@robyneatseverything@mastodon.social Nor are hormones banned for cis kids, which are prescribed for kids with slow or delayed puberty.

@jerzone "It's not what you think. We're just good friends."

@canyakker Years ago I was measuring the upper Willamette River by wading the river measuring the flow in sections when I looked up to see an Osprey gliding down the river a few feet above my head. He looked at me with all my equipment and continued on glided on down the river. One reason I loved my career with the USGS. I got to be in (wading) or above (cableways) river measuring and "watching the river run." (Loggins and Messina). It wasn't always fun on hrash, cold, windy winter days but rewards came even then and in warmer weather to remjnd you of peaceful places and good memories.

@georgetakei@universeodon.com Why the SAVE Act won't pass. Senate leader Thune gave it a chance and it died. Smart republicans know it's a scheme to steal elections and won't pass court challenges besides hurting republicans with voting groups who lose voters from the SAVE Act. Best hope is democrats sweep 2026 election and with better leadership impeach Trump and put him on Senate trial, and make Trump's last 2 years living hell. But it takes replacing democratic leadership with activists to fight Trump. No Schumer. No Jeffries. No one over 65. We need generational change now!

@flexghost@mastodon.social indigenous, and native, to white Americans means white Americans. They believe Native Americans started with the Pilgrims. Real Native Americans are foreigners to many whites.

@aral@mastodon.ar.al Denmark pledged $€1B for Greenland defense. US has only Thule Air Base in far northwest corner of Greenland. It was established in 1950's as a multi-role base, but mostly surveillance on Soviet Union. It's mostly now a US Space Force base and Arctic research station. It's not equipped for large military air or ground operations with the weather constraints. The commercial airports aren't suitable either. That said, I'm sure Trump will have an invasion plan. Best solution is leave Greenland alone. They're doing fine without Trump and his plans.

@godpod And diners in South Africa were separated during apartheid years.

@caseynewton @zoeschiffer Sometimes I get sense Musk wants to drive Twitter into financial insolvency and a completely broken Twitter, so nothing is left for anyone to buy and rebuild it. He dumped the$13B loan on company, so he gets a walk on that, and he can blame advertisers, staff and users for its failure.

@kevin@payravi.xyz Oh God. Friends & I played asteroids in their game machines in local pizza parlor in early 1970's. I loved that game.

@ross@fosstodon.org Two requirements for me, color prints and duplex printing. This printer does neither. Single side printing requires more paper or printing alternate pages on two runs. That's not efficient, especially if you don't get page alignment right to keep page order. My HP 450 DN has been a workhorse for 10+ years no. My previous HP color, duplex printer still work but HP dropped driver to use it.

@w3c@w3c.social Designed my first Web page in 1994 with HTML 1.0 for Mosaic browser.

@lowqualityfacts@mstdn.social Tokyo is world's most populous city with over 37 million people. Mastodon has long way to go.

@ProPublica Courts and states will be the guardrails in 2026 midterm and 2028 presidential elections, but only if Trump and his people abide by courts rulings and states uphold voting standards to ensure fair elections. I'm hopeful but not blind. We'll see in the midterm elections as states, voters, and organizations file lawsuits afterward.

@canyakker We (western Washington State) won't see Tree Swallows until May at the earliest. Barn Swallows come in June.

@DocAtCDI Is that like, "I beat the expiration date by eating the whole party size bag of potato chips by myself."

@BBC@c.im Everyone should ask a bank teller for a real $100 bill whenever they get a Trump signature monopoly money bill. Foreign and US banks should reject them from customers as counterfeit bills. Only a criminal would print $100 bills with Trump's signature.

@rbreich@masto.ai My favorite dark horse is Thomas Ossoff.

@SeanCasten@mastodon.social It will take work on democrats but Harris stands to potentially win in a landslide, taking most, if not all, swing and key states. Polls aren't showing catagories of voters who will vote in high numbers. These are women from every age group, people of color, and young, often first time, voters. Harris excites these voters for generational change Harris brings and it incentivizes voters against Trump, many republicans and former Trump supporters. Harris could win 55-45%. JMO

@drewharwell@mastodon.social On the bottom of the warning notice is the link to Substack article. It works.

@leiawelsh@toot.wales @vagina_museum@masto.ai My then wife said a massage was the best therapy for period pain. That was me, the masseur. Love paid and repaid.

@godpod@universeodon.com They're burning children's nutritional biscuits they let expire and now contraceptives. They want women pregnant and giving birth but they don't want to help mothers raise babies and infants. Says it all.
