I am considering going through my followers and following lists and removing anyone who has a twitter link in their bio.
I don't think this will remove many, and probably mostly just dormant accounts, but if this does impact you, sorry. I hope you will finally consider letting twiiter go.
i have not looked into it, but there has to be something fishy about those drones flying in the sky with lights as a replacement for fireworks and doing cool symbols. they're too good to be true. something about it gotta be wrong that's just always the case

I watched "Thief" (1981), directed by Michael Mann. Sort of a heist movie, sort of a mob movie, but aspires to be a Cassavetes movie. An interesting mix, and really well shot. Ryan Coogler said this was the film that made "wet-downs" a thing, and judging by all of the wet streets & sidewalks, I believe it.
Features Willie Nelson in a minor role. Also features a soundtrack by Tangerine Dream.
From Clean Energy Review
In Edmonton’s Blatchford neighbourhood, a new “virtual power plant” is flipping the script on how communities use energy. Twenty (but soon-to-be 100) townhomes, each equipped with rooftop solar panels and energy storage, are not just powering themselves—they can feed the grid, manage peak demand, and even provide emergency backup when the lights go out. It’s a glimpse of what clean households could look like across Canada.
