Did anyone else read that pop-up message on TikTok when it came back? "Praise be to Donold!" Come on, at least try to make it sound less like fascist propaganda.

Concluded the two-day road trip through Cataluña - after the morning run on the coast of Begur, with stops in Peratallada and Figueres as my sister wanted to go to the Dali Museum and Girona en route back to Barcelona. Quick visits, but all repeat trips for me and my sister is only here for 5 days.

Many reminders as we head into U.S. turning to a would-be authoritarian fascist as President - I live in a place that spent decades suffering under a fascist dictator, & it was very bad, even deadly for many. Spain did eventually get a democracy, but after decades. One pic a 1st day stamp of Juan Carlos as Spain returned to democracy.

And remind me again, what verbiage, collaborating or condemning, has this #pope used when addressing the deeds of the russian and chinese despots before trump 0.2 now?
Really curious, is the papa only upset when South Americans (largely catholics) are on the firing line? 🤔
Hypocrisy would really be the world first for the #vatican!
Sonnet 090 - XC
Then hate me when thou wilt; if ever, now;
Now, while the world is bent my deeds to cross,
Join with the spite of fortune, make me bow,
And do not drop in for an after-loss:
Ah! do not, when my heart hath 'scaped this sorrow,
Come in the rearward of a conquered woe;
Give not a windy night a rainy morrow,
To linger out a purposed overthrow.
If thou wilt leave me, do not leave me last,
When other petty griefs have done their spite,
But in the onset come: so shall I taste
At first the very worst of fortune's might;
And other strains of woe, which now seem woe,
Compared with loss of thee, will not seem so.

In theatres, ghost lights are lamps kept illuminated on the stage when the venue is empty and would otherwise be dark. Their function is to prevent staff from having accidents, such as falling into the orchestra pit or tripping over props. Some claim the lights date back to the days of gas-lit theatres, when lights were kept burning to relieve pressure on gas valves. A superstition states that the lights are also kept on to give the theatre's ghosts the chance to perform onstage. It is hoped this will prevent them cursing the theatre and ruining productions. #ghosts #folklore #history #gothic #Victorian #weird #theatre #acting #paranormal

Great question. If you follow Mastodon accounts from Pixelfed, you will not see text-only posts on Pixelfed. And if you follow Pixelfed accounts on Mastodon, you will typically see text before you see photos. So really, the difference is primarily about design and how you wish t interact with the Fediverse.
Great question: if Mastodon and Pixelfed accounts can just follow each other, how is a Pixelfed account different from a Mastodon account?

Friendica Help
I need some help. What do these menu items refer to?
Latest activity
Latest posts
Latest Creation
Personal
Starred
Am I right that if I select, for example, my "Friends" circle, Latest Activity will show me the latest comments, posts, shares, and likes of people in my Friends circle? Latest Posts would show me only their posts?
But what do the Latest Creation and Personal items do? And how does one "star" a post or comment?

An incredibly beautiful run, even in the rain. Also a challenging one for me with all the hills (climbed 95 flights) since I’m used to running on very flat routes.
The Costa Brava is gorgeous!

Sonnet 062 - LXII
Sin of self-love possesseth all mine eye
And all my soul, and all my every part;
And for this sin there is no remedy,
It is so grounded inward in my heart.
Methinks no face so gracious is as mine,
No shape so true, no truth of such account;
And for myself mine own worth do define,
As I all other in all worths surmount.
But when my glass shows me myself indeed
Beated and chopp'd with tanned antiquity,
Mine own self-love quite contrary I read;
Self so self-loving were iniquity.
'Tis thee, myself, that for myself I praise,
Painting my age with beauty of thy days.

Coldest weather of the winter today, so far. Did not drive very far out, not much was plowed today, and we had got 5-8cm new dry powder since yest. 👍We really need the moisture, it was so dry OCT-DEC. No one had been in on Nichols Creek road/trail off the Westfork Canyon. We had to break trail thru the whole storm total, 20-30cm, so did not get very far. Nice to see a little sun, -12C with a northerly breeze. Skied a little round the 'hood later, hard breaking trail. #running #winter #dogs

Some time back, we commissioned an artist to paint a mural on an outside wall at our house. I posted photos of that as it happened here on Mastodon.
I've finally blogged about that project, with some good photos and details. That's right here if you're interested:

I have now read several news articles that mention that Trump is trying to figure out how to restore TikTok, and literally not a single one has pointed out that he STARTED this whole mess (unless I'm mis-remembering?). There was that whole "Oracle will buy TikTok" boondoggle? Not a whisper!

You are right.
The other major omission from news articles is that Congress passed this law. The President is supposed to enforce the law, not evade it. Congress is free to repeal or amend the law, but the President is not free to ignore a statute.

Cuban authorities have started releasing prisoners after announcing their impending freedom on Tuesday. The plan to release 553 prisoners came shortly after U.S. President Biden said he would remove Cuba from its list of state sponsors of terrorism as part of a prisoner release deal. Cuban authorities have not provided details on the prisoners, who will likely include anti-government protesters detained in 2021.

Sonnet 129 - CXXIX
The expense of spirit in a waste of shame
Is lust in action: and till action, lust
Is perjured, murderous, bloody, full of blame,
Savage, extreme, rude, cruel, not to trust;
Enjoyed no sooner but despised straight;
Past reason hunted; and no sooner had,
Past reason hated, as a swallowed bait,
On purpose laid to make the taker mad.
Mad in pursuit and in possession so;
Had, having, and in quest to have extreme;
A bliss in proof, and proved, a very woe;
Before, a joy proposed; behind a dream.
All this the world well knows; yet none knows well
To shun the heaven that leads men to this hell.
