Elon Musk, the stochastic terrorist.

If something happens now, it will fall squarely on his shoulders.

This billionaire asshole that bought (and internationally subsidized) a social media platform thinks he's against the system when he's quite literally the system himself.

He's completely delusional and absolutely the problem.

The #RedEyedVireo was one of our far-away visitors here in #Maine!

Backyard Bird of the Month for May: Red-eyed Vireo
by Andy Kapinos

Birds, Maine's Naturalist, News & Notes · April 30, 2024

"Here I am! Where are you? Way up here! In the tree! So goes the song of the Red-eyed Vireo, heard in nearly every forested area between Kittery and Fort Kent from May until early autumn. True neotropical migrants, Red-eyed Vireos spend the nonbreeding season in the #AmazonBasin, especially in Colombia, Brasil, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Peru. Most depart South America during April, and over the course of a few weeks or a month, make their way up through Central America and the southeastern US, #migrating on clear nights and refueling during the day by feasting on the abundance of newly-emerged insects. The first males can reach Maine by the first week of May, but the majority arrive in the second and third weeks, just in time for the emergence of leaves and insects in the canopy of our forests.

"These canopy-dwellers are heard far more often than they are seen, and possess a huge vocal repertoire, combining various “syllables” into “phrases” that don’t repeat. In fact, there is often no similarity between the songs of males whose territories are right next to each other. While the males generally sing from treetops, Red-eyed Vireos forage and nest in the mid- and understory, and require forest habitat with layers of native shrubs and small trees. Their nests are usually built at these lower levels, with layers of foliage above to hide the nest from predators. They raise their young on insects, especially caterpillars and other larvae, before eating increasing amounts of fruit later in the summer, which they subsist on throughout the nonbreeding season. The return of Red-eyed Vireos to their breeding territories in Maine is a yearly reminder that conserving healthy forest #ecosystems is important not only here at home, but also in the neotropical #forests where they spend the rest of their lives."

In other news, I've been using the REAL #BirdApp -- #Merlin from Cornell Labs. So far, I've identified #HouseWren, #AmericanRobins, #NorthernCardinal, #TuftedTitmouse, #PurpleFinch, #EasternTowhee and #RedEyedVireo -- just from my backyard! Some of them are migratory. Will post more about them soon. The #AmericanRobin is nesting next to the house, so that one comes up a lot.

Ja, das war ja der Sinn von Musks 40 Milliarden Dollar Hobby, oder?

Free Speech for Nazis!

Unbelievable.

#Twitter #BirdApp

Looks like accounts have been rate-limited over on the hell site if they don't give the overlord money.

Guess I'll start with an #introduction toot.
Came here from the #BirdApp. Have had enough of the changes made to that platform. I don't give a damn about the number of likes, or impressions I receive. I'm tired of adverts interwoven in the stream of posts. Most of all - I'm sick of the #ChiefTwitt doing monkey business.
Enough of all this rage. I'm here to start anew and I intend to make a positive contribution to #Universeodon... Hell, to the whole #Fediverse! Hope an occasional rant won't put you off interacting with me.

Does the above qualify as tag-spamming? :D

" 'The real opposition is the #media. And the way to deal with them is to flood the zone with shit,' Steve #Bannon said back in 2018.

It's a very accurate description of how Russian #propaganda works: trying to flood the zone with shit."

Mastodon is basically a federation of planets.

Each instance is its own solar system. Everyone that plays nice gets to interact across the fediverse.

When the Borg show up, everyone blocks them and they get banished to the delta quadrant.

If you're into Trek and this resonated, you should read my short thread on that time I worked with LeVar --> https://lawfedi.blue/@jonpainterphoto/

Short intro (copied from my original profile):

Got locked out of #BirdApp (for spurious reasons) a few months back & wasn't invested enough to jump thru the hoops to get it unlocked

Fortunately for me, Mr. Muskrat is causing a mass exodus/ extensive backup planning & much of InfoSec is now posting here

InfoSec Gray Beard (Vuln Mgmt), who often posts about other/ random stuff

Big fan of #RightToRepair, learning, reading, music, etc.

Just now realizing that 500 chars per post is A LOT... ;-)

Hey all, here is my #introduction

I'm an undergrad #cartography student excited about #remotesensing, #earthobservation and #space exploration!

In my spare time I like to browse the vast #NASA image archives to create #3D models and #animations like this one.

Back on #birdapp I really enjoyed connecting with engineers and scientists from around the world. I hope we can build an even better community over here!
