I unfollow kvetchers, rageposters, virtue signalers, and grandstanders. Ain't nobody got time for that.
The tuba band at the craft brewery has an average age of about 65 and just played The Eurythmics “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” and I really didn’t have eighties synth pop S&M tunes on my bingo card tonight.

Wow Bluesky is absolutely flooded with bots trying to stoke outrage. I spend more time muting them than seeing interesting content.

Probably need to take a break from here until after the election.

Hey all, you can stop with your political posts; I already #voted.

It would be kind of nice if they all had a tag that we could mute once we’d cast out ballot.

Bad wx at 6Y9 (which has no instrument approaches) so we’ll be flying the Volvo instead.

Is Flock the only mass surveillance tool/network that people should be worried about? No. But it is an entry point for people from all walks of life to the fight against mass surveillance and I'm glad people are paying attention and taking action.

The new heat pump gets installed tomorrow, replacing our 21-year-old A/C. The new one costs less than a replacement (with electric & gas co rebates), is more efficient, reduces our carbon output by two metric tons/year, and will completely pay for itself in about ten years.

We’re going to hit the Fair early tomorrow and try to beat the heat. #mnstatefair
