I like all you guys but especially @annporterla.bsky.social, @Gargron, @carp68.bsky.social, @evan, and @paul.

Edit: I have an answer. Thank you everyone who boosted and commented! The Fediverse is awesome!

Wondering if anyone knows about the FOIA rules between email and chat (Slack, Teams, etc.) and if there's a difference between the two? In that email is FOIA-able and the other isn't?

Perhaps @briankrebs or @radleybalko.bsky.social might know? Or some other journalists?

Uh-oh. Got boosted by @codinghorror. Here comes the beeps.

Just walked by @evan but was too shocked to stop him and say hi. I'm walking down the street on vacation in a foreign country and I'm like "OMG I KNOW THAT GUY!!!"

I got a #Plushtodon in the mail today. My wife loves it!

Not getting up for a while. #CatsOfMastodon

For the Bluesky crowd:

I can't see any of your replies unless you follow https://bsky.app/profile/ap.brid.gy. I can't follow you either.

Note: this will "bridge" your posts to Mastodon/Fediverse platforms.

Our #HVAC system is due for a replacement. We're looking at a heat pump system, but the rep said we'd still need a gas furnace for emergency heat when the temp got low (around 0°F). It doesn't really get that cold on Ohio anymore so I thought we could go work just a heat pump. Does anyone else have such a system? Or maybe just a heat pump and can comment on how they like their setup.

Please boost if you don't mind.

Ok I'll bite. What's #Flipboard?

It's my pup's 11th birthday today. Her name is Leela (after the Futurama character). Unfortunately, it will be her last. Spinal disease and cancer has made it such that she can no longer enjoy life.

We will be sending her out with family visits today and a party tomorrow. My wife and I are proud to have taken care of her for the last 10+ years, and will miss her energy, kindness, and silliness in the years to come.

We love you very much, Leela!

Thank you, Joe Biden. And I hope everyone reading this will get the same relief soon.

Every news outlet should stand up a Mastondon instance for their reporters & staff.

It’ll be great to see GivennameFamilyname@mastodon.famousnewspaper.com or whatever domain they want to use.

Built in verification. Every reporter for the Washington Post on a washpo domain. Every reporter for the New York Times on an NYTimes domain. Etc, etc.

Plus the “local” feed for each instance becomes a feed of all the posts from that institution mixed together — providing extra discovery.
