@w7voa Can we please start referring to her as the voice of the Ministry of Propaganda like she is? She wouldn't acknowledge the truth if it leapt on stage and bit her on the ass.

I had to go to the Morris MN DMV this morning to renew my license. They were courteous and helpful, nice even. And there were only 3 people there in line!

Hmm. I have also noticed that the clever summaries for articles I write that should show up on Mastodon and Bluesky links do not, which turns out to be not a bug in my atom.xml template as a misunderstanding in it. Neato.

"While Trump came into office legally, the Trump-Musk administration is taking not the gradualist path to change chosen by autocrats who arrive in power via elections, but a more extremist route, one reminiscent of the political climate after a coup.
This is where DOGE comes in."

"One of the strongman’s best-kept secrets is that he has little interest in day-to-day governance: what really motivates him is power, control and riches to be made. Trump’s true loves are golfing and promoting Trump-branded properties (he spent one-third of the first three years of his first term doing the latter, and is on track to surpass that, having golfed at his Florida courses for 13 of his first 48 days in office)."

Hello Mastodon! I'm a power engineer who is trying out solo game development and on the way to release Power Network Tycoon - a game where you build and manage your own electrical grid with real physics simulation.
If you've ever wondered how power systems actually work (or why they fail), this might be your jam. I built it to be technically accurate while still being fun. To say it's been a challenge is an understatement...

A woman in the jungle encountered a tiger. She fled to a precipice, where she caught hold of a wild vine and climbed down. The tiger waited above. Trembling, the woman looked down to where, far below, another tiger waited. Only the vine sustained her.
Two mice, one white and one black, little by little started to gnaw away the vine. Just then, she saw a wild strawberry growing from a crack. Grasping the vine with one hand, she plucked the strawberry with the other.
It was delicious! 🍓
