The USPS fleet is easily one of the best fits for EVs: Predictable routes, predictable miles, easy to schedule/coordinate charging, and constant stop and go with low speeds, which is perfect for regenerative braking (sends power back to the battery.)

This will have a positive impact on climate change, and reduce air pollution, noise pollution, and save money in the long run on fuel and maintenance.

Biden (and Podesta)- getting it done again. This is what a desire to govern and make things better can result in - progress. A willingness to cooperate and negotiate is crucial, of course.

Lots of people pushed back hard on the initial USPS plan keep things as they were. Thanks to everyone who pushed back.

OK what’s next?

Again I reserve the right to do whatever I want.

Today’s social media status quo isn’t cutting it, so Mozilla is exploring an alternative here on Mastodon. In early 2023, Mozilla will be testing a publicly accessible instance in the Fediverse at Mozilla.Social. We will keep you updated, but for now learn more here: mzl.la/3BNXQMQ

Oh gee golly. The breach of my most sensitive data (most of which I never authorized Equifax to collect and store in the first place) was worth $5.21.

That sure makes up for it. This $5.21 makes me whole.

Two excellent, in-depth guides to Mastodon, which should answer many of your questions, are here:

this information about Elon Musk, the man whose entire career is made off the idea that he's going to save the world from climate catastrophe

and this is how he rolls so he can get to a World Cup game:

you know what? I don’t think I’m gonna let that guy put a chip in my brain after all

Mastodon has cracked the top ten social networking apps in the App Store. For context, Signal is at 15.

Honestly moving to Mastodon from the bird site feels like I just switched to PBS after years of exclusively watching a reality TV show called, I don't know, EXTREME HATEFEST: ORGY ISLAND or something.

Like, yeah, of course it's going to be a little jarring but trust me it's better this way.

Here's one of the many beautiful things about Mastodon and the Fediverse:

I saw that @johnvoorhees opened a Pixelfed profile. That service is powered by federation too. So here's what I did:

- Took his profile URL: https://pixelfed.social/johnvoorhees
- Changed it to: @johnvoorhees@pixelfed.social
- Searched for the account, and followed him.

Now John's photo feed is another account, from a completely different service, that I follow on my Mastodon. I love this.

Yesterday we had John Mastodon

Today we're back to talking about birdsite

come on, let's stop talking about birdsite, let's have our own memes and our own culture
