EU medicines agency quits X & moves to Bluesky "EMA will no longer post updates and content on X. We believe the X platform no longer suits our communication needs” the agency said in a statement www.reuters.com/world/europe...

Hey, while we're talking about erasing history: In 1949 the US military held its first Aeriel Gunnery Competition, later known as "Top Gun." The best of the best competed in dogfighting and other skills. The team that won, was the 332nd: The Tuskegee airmen. So they refused to announce a winner🤡

Has anyone here been using their EV as a power source after losing power during or after Storm #Éowyn or know of anyone has?

Seeing a gang of teenagers in balaclavas and on electric bikes sure is intimidating....

To bananas and milk seem to be the panics buys this evening at my local Lidl...

American History X is one of the most frightening films that has stayed with me for years. Stacy Keach's bar owner especially chilling. Encouraging neonazis while sipping whisky in his office.

Probably just as well he has me blocked over on the other place. Seriously, making light of a dangerous situation for some people is funny to him!? 🤬
