Just FYI, I’m retiring from social media this weekend and deleting my accounts.

For those who want to curate their own news, I recommend downloading the AP app to start. It’s getting clogged with ads, alas, but is still a valuable service.

I check the BBC app regularly. I no longer subscribe to The Washington Post or The NY Times (I won’t support some of their opinion writers) but I do check both.

“Good night and good luck!”

First time I've seen one of these guys ... a pileated woodpecker, Banneker Park in Arlington, Va.

I'm honestly considering a paid verification program in Pixelfed to help sustain the project long term.

It would be a centralized list, and would be present in clients, regardless of server.

A blue checkmark would not only help our project financially, but would also provide a trusted visual mark of verification.

Thoughts?

City-sized arenas belong in city centers

The Capitals and the Wizards may not win another championship anytime soon, but they will continue playing their home games where they should: in the downtown arena they've called home since 1997 as first the MCI Center, then the Verizon Center, followed by the resulting nickname of the Phone Booth, and now Capital One Arena. That's the best possible resolution…

I started this Mastodon instance as an alternative to Twitter because I was tired of the noise and ads.

With this space, I’ve experienced the ups and downs of micro community engagement. It’s by no means a straightforward solution but remains an interesting alternative for those with an interest in fashion and style.

I know some find the UX off putting but I think this is such a valuable community!

Photo-shoot today for Alamy, the Digital Payments Economy Summit, put on by Punchbowl News and sponsored by Mastercard.

Patrick McHenry (R-NC) chairs the House Financial Service Committee but is not MAGA. In fact, he had nice things to say about ranking member Maxine Waters (D-CA), often a MAGA target.

Besides, anyone who wears a bowtie can't be all bad.

We encountered many flora and fauna in our visit yesterday to Meadowlark Botanical Gardens in Vienna, Va., in fact more animal species than expected.

This guy, called a red-eared slider, stuck his neck out on our behalf. More photos ... https://technewslitphoto.smugmug.com/DC-and-region/Meadowlark-Garden-Mar-2024
