<p>I like, and care about, people who like, and care about, people...and animals. I try to make people chuckle or think...or both. I&#39;ll help if I can. <br /><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Design" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Design</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Lighting" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Lighting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>History</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Archaeology" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Archaeology</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Art" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Art</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Gardening</s

    Aww, bless! Linux just gave me a firmware update, as if it knew it was my birthday. #Linux #Smile #GraspingAtStraws

    My father’s RAF aircrew, in WWII, included men from the US. They risked their lives together every day, to fight against fascism, and to secure future freedom for everyone. And so it breaks my heart to watch an infantile thug, posing as a president but operated by an ex-KGB megalomaniac, not only destroying everything that millions died to save, but also engineering a situation where the people of the US and those of the UK could realistically become military enemies. #Trump #Putin #Ukraine

    X is a toxic cesspit, poisoned beyond salvageability. So, why do celebrities who purport to be angry about all things unethical stay there? It’s because they’re terrified of losing their hoards of adoring followers. Do they not realise that, if people genuinely adore them, they will follow them to another, decentralised and unshittified platform, such as the one you’re using now? Do they not realise that, all the time they stay on X, they are keeping that hellhole alive? #X #Musk #StopFascism

    Is it just me, or do Putin&amp;#39;s &amp;#39;military fatigues&amp;#39; look like they come from the centre isle of our favourite supermarket? #Putin #Ukraine

    The stats suggest that it is easier to persuade X users to migrate to Bluesky than to Mastodon. That&amp;#39;s fine, as long as they leave, and leave quickly. What do you think it is going to take to convince hardened X users, especially those with large followings, to make make the move? #Mastodon #X #Twitter #Bluesky #Exodus

    @rbreich Thank you for your Guardian article on Monday. For the many who care on this side of the pond, it was a small beacon of hope in the darkness. I hope...we all hope..that you&amp;#39;re right. Happy New Year

    Hey, let&amp;#39;s put a criminal reality-TV celebrity, with the mental age of a child, in charge of the most powerful military force on Earth. What could possibly go wrong? #Trump #Venezuela #Internationallaw

    Less than a century ago, millions of young people, including nearly half a million from the US, gave their lives fighting fascism, in order to protect freedom. Already, the world is becoming a putrid insult to their memory. #Fascism #US #Russia #China #Israel

    We spoke recently about the anguish felt by many in the US, and the anger and fear felt by many of us elsewhere. I wish I had wise words of comfort but, after this week&amp;#39;s events, I feel like I have been kicked in the stomach. Instead, I offer someone else&amp;#39;s talents, to enjoy. I think the music, lyrics, and video encapsulate what we feel for each other here on this platform. There is no shame in being afraid. Hold tight. Somehow, we will make it through this together. https://m...
