Gas under $2.50 a gallon in Glidden, WI this weekend.
Even CNN reports that 2026 is on track to be the cheapest year for gas since 2020. Promises made, promises kept. ⛽️⬇️

I am reminded of the words of Frederick Douglass, whose powerful speech on the hypocrisy of celebrating such values while enslaving African Americans still resonate today. Until inequality & discrimination are eradicated, our work as a nation is incomplete.nmaahc.si.edu/explore/storie…

A new Prelinger Archivist is moving to the Bay and looking for housing: East Bay (Berkeley and points N, possibly Oakland); $3000 max; dog friendly; ideally 1 or 2 bedroom with a garage and outdoor space. Hoping June 1. These would be wonderful tenants. Any leads? Thanks!

We lost our Twitter checkmark today. We applied with Twitter to receive verification reserved for government entities. We have not heard back yet.
Anyways. It's a beautiful day in the Bay Area. We currently have 59 trains in service. No delays reported. Thank you for riding BART
Tomorrow, 4/20, we are removing legacy verified checkmarks. To remain verified on Twitter, individuals can sign up for Twitter Blue here: nitter.cf/i/twitter_blue_sign_up
Organizations can sign up for Verified Organizations here: nitter.cf/i/verifiedorganization…

a craven void, an emptiness, a need to feel *something* filled by engaging in this enragement space.
it takes a remarkable degree of self-loathing to be an active participant (tweets, retweets, replies, etc.) here.
Though small for a global social network, #Mastodon's user count just passed 10,000,000, a milestone in its growth.
