Had someone tell my my 4 min 50 second song at karaoke is too long and that the absolute limit is 5 min. #KaraokeEtiquette question: what length range do you aim for with your songs?

I just created a quick map depicting which portions of the United States are now (as of today) or will imminently be (by early June) without 24/7 local National Weather Service coverage (per Washington Post reporting).

Map of local National Weather Service office "areas of responsibility" modified (using polygons with black outlines and red fill) to indicate where recent/expanding cuts to NOAA/NWS have resulting in understaffing so extreme that some offices can not longer operate on a 24/7 basis.

This photo was taken about 30 miles East of #Sasbe #Arizona during Trump #1 in an attempt to build more wall they had to blow up part of a mountain that was too steep for the fence… it’s still too steep and will likely need to be blown up again! The fence will rust and erode away, but the land destruction will last forever!

I use Tootle and for some reason I cannot view notifications for my union.place account (other accounts I can)

Any ideas on solutions? I’ve tried deleting and redownloading tootle.

Any ideas where I can get unrefined bees wax for free? I tried calling exterminators/bee removal and they all give it to someone who refines and sells it already :(

Trying to build a website for my cousin who wrote “Netizens: On the History and Impact of Usenet and the Internet” (linked below).

She wants the website to contain the book, along with a compilation of articles written about netizenship since the book was written, as well as a collection of theory relevant to the idea of #netizens. Does anyone know of websites dedicated to an idea rather than publication, company, or person?

The most recent issue of the Amateur Computerist newsletter takes up the question of whether better journalism about conflicts brought to the #UN can help to resolve those conflicts. Two case studies about #Korea and the UN are given in this issue of the Amateur Computerist. The url is ais.org/~jrh/acn/ACn39-1.pdf

Tents and Tenants: After #EchoPark Lake, a public exhibition about how poor people make the city their home, even in the face of state violence. Abandoned by the city during a global pandemic, unhoused organizers created an encampment at Echo Park Lake that soon became an uprising.

What are Follow Packs and Why You Should Consider Trying Them

Follow Packs are importable packages of hundreds of recommended accounts. They are batches of accounts that you can follow all at the same time. When you import a Follow Pack it creates a new List which includes all of the accounts in the pack.

If you don't know what Lists are, see this thread: mastodon.online/@mastodonmigra

Since Mastodon does not rely on algorithms, Follow Packs are a great way to get your feeds humming.

Donold taking over the Kennedy Center shows he's more interested in destroying what liberals love than building anything conservatives care about.
