During the evening main-stage session, Google CEO Pichai and Estonian Foreign Minister Valtonen mention the AI accord, but it has yet to be released for public review. What gives?? #MSC2024
Low turnout in Hudson County (16% of registered voters) is how the Machine maintains control over local government.
Don't complain if you're not showing up. #Hoboken

Musk has only himself to blame for the mass exodus of advertisers from this cesspool.
But he's attempting to deflect this blame on (and bully into silence) any who shed light on his catastrophic mistakes since taking over Twitter.

I'm shocked, shocked that major ISPs like AT&T are lobbying against a new FCC rule that would no longer let them hide their Byzantine broadband-fee structures from customers.
How dare we expect price-gouging behemoths to be accountable & transparent. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/…
Seen in the #HudsonRiver just off #Hoboken's Pier A on Friday afternoon: Large schools of what I deduced to be Gizzard Shad. Thousands of them were circling near the surface with mouths open (plankton feeding?). Many broke the surface causing some turbulence.

"It’s about as diverse as all the people that have been plucked out of Synagogues and all the Synagogues that run the city of Hoboken" - Melissa Blanco, Hoboken city council meeting
Blanco is thankfully a failed 2015 Hoboken city council candidate
We had similar issues a couple weeks ago in #Hoboken.
They're baaaack....
Seen on Alianthus Trees throughout #Hoboken: Spotted Lantern Flies in their nymph stage.
Soybean aphids are swarming #Hoboken right now. They're small, greenish and gnat-like. Don't know why they've appeared here in such large numbers. I don't recall ever seeing this here. Possibly due to the warm winter.
A great day for #Hoboken, celebrating our support for the LGBTQ+ community, and standing against hate, disinformation, & those who seek to censor diversity.
As expected, the howling hate circus was a no show at the "banned book read-a-thon." Most don't even live here.
What we're witnessing with the online torrent of trans- and homophobic hate targeting supporters of this Saturday's "Banned Book Read-a-thon" in #Hoboken is, sadly, nothing new to social media.

Since speaking out in support of this weekend's #Hoboken event, I have been subject to online threats from people in our community.
I'll be fine; what I & other supporters are seeing today is nothing compared to what members of the LGTBQ+ community endure each & every day.
