#Mastodon is the closest I've found to the glory days of #LiveJournal, but it's always been missing one 𝘤𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 feature, and that was the "listening to" feature to add to posts (alongside the "current mood" feature)

Even if you're just listening to the tv, you put that. I really, really, really miss seeing what everyone was listening to!

Not sure if people in the #US actually realize it's too late to stop their worst fears...America is already a police state dictatorship. There is no more American democracy. And dressing up in fun costumes on a Saturday is not doing anything. Waiting for the midterms is like waiting for Jesus to come save the day.

America has already transformed into a police state that gets away with murdering civilians. You all waited too long

@Fragglemuppet I use Audacity, which is free, but may be overkill if you're looking for something barebones and simple

Does anyone have a recommendation for a not-too-expensive, beginner telescope?

I grew up in the country looking at the stars (though never got into it seriously) and recently returned to the country. I've watched all 500 episodes of #StarTalk and am a patreon subscriber. I'm not looking to get into it every night, but every so often when a planet is close or a meteor shower is happening.

Also if it can take a beating that helps. I'm clumsy and walk with a cane!

"‘Something doesn’t smell right’: $100 million in Skills Development Fund grants traced to lobbyists with ties to Ontario premier"

I came across this anti-free trade deal propaghanda that went out with newspapers in the 80s. It's interesting how almost all of the problems #Canada has encountered in the past 40 years were predicted by this rag to happen because of American businesses having free reign over us. Although of course they dont mention the good times that happened, but it really is tying our struggles to #Nafta more I ever have before. Interesting read
