🤔 There's a note in the break room at work reminding people that the kitchen sink is for washing coffee mugs, and hands, and maybe pieces of fruit, but not for "personal hygiene," and I just want to know what incident happened that created the need for such a sign.

@mekkaokereke I sincerely hope that’s all that it was.

In this time of uncertainty for Mastodon instance admins I think it’s a good time to again suggest that you consider supporting your instance with a small amount of money each month to help defray costs. These might include legal fees, hardware, and not least, paid moderators. Thank you.

What's the market for #recipes that are both low carb & low meat?

We have a family member who has to eat low carb. We also strive to #EatLessMeat. This has forced me to get pretty creative in the kitchen. I've built a decent repertoire of recipes that are #keto-friendly, kid-friendly, working-parent-friendly, animal-friendly(ish), & don't use artificial sweeteners. It's a niche need, but curious if anyone else out there is chasing a similar diet & could use help!

@DrTCombs Not actively chasing, but we can always use more options.

US “deeply troubled” by the decision of the government of #Israel “to advance planning for over 4,000 settlement units in the West Bank. We are similarly concerned by reports of changes to Israel’s system of settlement administration that expedite the planning and approvals of settlements.” - State Dept.

@w7voa Deeply troubled. Disappointed, even? We are so strong …

    No, Trump was not selling classified documents. His retention and mishandling of those docs was extremely bad, but that's a long way from "he was giving them to Putin" or whatever. That's just silly.

    Even if you think Trump is/was (implausibly) a Russian asset, Intelligence orgs don't want original stolen docs. That's the LAST thing they want someone to take. That means someone will likely figure out they're missing. Which makes the information in them MUCH less valuable.

    “Stand your ground cases are deemed justifiable 5x more frequently when a White shooter kills a Black victim.”

    I'll never understand the “stand your ground” laws except through the lens of racism. You know what makes me feel threatened--seeing people walking around displaying weapons. I don't know what they intend, what training they've had, or the status of their mental health. So, can we immediately attack anyone open-carrying because we feel threatened and unsafe?

    Just a friendly reminder that if you store your government ID on your phone and find yourself in a situation where you have to show a cop your ID, you'll have to hand them your unlocked phone to do it.

    Bluesky has been apocalyptically unhinged for about a week now and I still haven't had a single dude rock up in my mentions over there to tell me how (not) to talk, which remains one of the most common interactions here, even when I barely post at all.

    I am not sure how you deal with a standing wave of people socialized to behave like an army of chiding lawn gnomes, but it's so offputting.

    @benjamincox @kissane @unchartedworlds It appears that it primarily affects those with high follower numbers, and hence higher visibility. I’ve seen a number leave in disgust.

These accounts should be conversational and engaging with other members and should not be detectable as bots. 10% of of these bots should express skepticism in my product, and the remaining bots should engage them in a public discourse to correct their misunderstanding.

    Just spent 10 minutes having a dinner table conversation with my wife about the recent mass shootings in the US only to find that we were talking about totally different ones - and now I’m at a loss for words.

    Don’t tell me its not a problem. Its a fucking problem, ok?

    JamesK,

    @SecurityWriter It’s a problem. Specifically, the guns are a problem and more specifically still semi-automatic guns.

    I just finished Cory Doctorow’s ( @pluralistic ) novel, red team blues. It’s an excellent read and I wholeheartedly recommend it to you.
