@WarnerCrocker Will it matter? Or is it too little too late? The one thing UKR couldn't afford was a war of attrition. And now Trump looms over everything.

@WarnerCrocker Whose side is the NYT on? :)

@BeAware I was not aware that this was so individually performed. I have now also followed my Mastodon account with my Blue sky account. I will see what happens

This 2017 Aspros Lagos (Douloufakis on Crete) is Vidiano in acacia and oak. Deep and dry, it has good balancing acidity and some touches of maturity, but it is doing great. It should continue to hold for a few more years, perhaps more than anticipated. That tight, tense finish is enticing. It's best with food. About $35, 14.1% #wine #greece #crete

So, now that non-Masto places are "in the Fediverse," I see on BlueSky that this post appears there if you follow my Masto account from there.But it seems like very limited integration. I made a reply there to myself, and that only appears THERE, not here. I don't even get notice of a reply here!

Meanwhile,you can follow my Threads account FROM here, but Threads won't allow following Masto from Threads. One-way.

On the whole, if there's not better integration that this, who cares? #fediverse

@jacklaridian It does require some effort, but for example I am really interested in House of dragons, s.2. But I will wait till they all drop. Then I will subscribe to Max again (and ad-free) for one month and binge them all. I don't really have to subscribe to Max every month, let alone ad-free. It seems to me the streaming service games backfire. Tip: Use a single use credit card. That will avoid renewal accidents.😃

@jacklaridian It seems ridiculous, right? It's like 1990 all over again. Ads. They don't want you to binge. But we pay for it.

Well, here's my counterattack: when I have a lot to watch on one or two of them, I don't need the others at all. 😬

@WarnerCrocker I love traveling, including for work, but there is a certain point on a long trip where you just want your own bed and your own stuff. 😅
