Look carefully at how long she waits before starting a sentence with “I”. And then wham.

d a t green (davidallengreen@mastodon.green)'s status on Sunday, 18-Aug-2024 18:19:33 JST d a t green Yes, local newspapers are essential in so many ways.
But it is getting so that life is too short to ever click onto a local news website.
Avoiding the onslaught of adverts is like playing Space Invaders. And working out where the next paragraph of a news item is like Where's Wally.
There must be a more balanced way of supporting local news sites.
The sheer un-usability of so many of the sites now means that the advertisers cannot be benefitting, and so the journalists cannot be benefitting.

d a t green (davidallengreen@mastodon.green)'s status on Thursday, 08-Aug-2024 08:45:10 JST d a t green Anyone active on social media with a very high following will tend to go mad and/or radicalise, unless they make a determined effort not to do so.
It is not possible to process so many relationships on a constant 24/7 basis. And to try to do try to do so means you will either lose sense or perspective.
I once had far too many followers and I just had to shove the brakes on, locking my account and so on.

d a t green (davidallengreen@mastodon.green)'s status on Wednesday, 07-Aug-2024 07:04:50 JST d a t green There is such an absolute disconnect between the actual facts of the Southport killings (alleged killer is British-born, Christian) and the riots, it is almost as if any trigger would have done.
Had it not been Southport they would have fixed on some other pretext.
This is not spontaneous. This is contrived.

It is an excuse, cloaking something very different.

Democrats are still before their Convention. With decent lawyering and deft formal choreography there is nothing the Republicans can do to stop a new nominee.

When a commenters ays you have "ignored" a widely read/posted article.

Grump, grump.
