@jake4480@c.imGarage sale day, should be last of the season, as it's getting too hot. Just finished setting up, 7am. Every time I wonder, 'do I really have enough for a garage sale?' The answer is always YES, of COURSE I do (with some additions from the in-laws) 😂 Neighborhood sale, like, 5 houses doing it today, I think. This is outside mine:
@Ruhrnalist@mastodon.socialIch habe die KI in der Google Suchmaschine zum Test nach meinen Aktivitäten hier auf Mastodon gefragt. Offenbar hat die KI Schwierigkeiten die Postings zu analysieren. Fast alle Aussagen beruhen auf Ergebnissen von anderen Webseiten, aber eher nicht auf den Tröts, nicht mal der letzten Tage.
Zum Beispiel wurden meine Tröts zu Energiethemen nicht gefunden, auch auf Nachfrage nicht.

@Ruhrnalist@mastodon.socialEinige runde Zahlen stehen bevor. ZB noch 27 Follower...
@Ruhrnalist@mastodon.socialEs ist jetzt Zeit zum Umsteuern für die Bundesregierung! Niemand ist sehr zufrieden, 85% unzufrieden.
Jetzt die Fossilpolitik aufgeben und die Chancen der Energiewende konsequent fördern und digital resilient werden, im Verbund der EU.
Das könnte sogar die CxU schaffen, wenn nicht, muss sich die SPD auf den Weg der Vernunft machen.
Niemand profitiert von so starker Unzufriedenheit, außer die extremen Rechten.

@Ruhrnalist@mastodon.socialDie Waffenlobby feiert die unbemannte MQ-9 Drohne, während ausgerechnet die unter Dauerbeschuss stehenden Iraner sie massenweise vom Himmel holen.
Nach Berichten haben die USA während des Krieges mit dem Iran bereits 16 teure MQ-9 Reaper-Drohnen verloren. Kosten: 500 mio €.
@cdarwin@c.imSome two dozen states challenged Donald Trump’s new global tariffs on Thursday,
filing a lawsuit over import taxes he imposed after a stinging loss at the Supreme Court.
The Democratic attorneys general leading the suit argue that Trump is overstepping his power with planned 15% tariffs on much of the world.
Trump has said the tariffs are essential to reduce America’s longstanding trade deficits.
He imposed duties under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 after the S…

@bourgwick@heads.socialadded some excellent handbills/posters to the modern lovers chronology, courtesy of gary johnson of rockaway records. (labelle cancelled at my father's place, replaced by screamin' jay hawkins, which makes mildly more sense.) https://jessejarnow.com/2025/12/the-modern-lovers-1…
@stiefkind@mastodon.socialDone. Wir sind uns ziemlich sicher, dass er das Buch »Was ist was Band 53 – Das Auto« erinnert, erschienen 1974.
Fediverse! Ich suche ein Kinderbuch, an das sich mein Bruder vage erinnert. Dürfte aus 2. Hälfte 1970ern sein. Was mein Bruder erinnert: »Buch mit Zukunft, selbstschwebende Autos und so. Größe/Dicke ca. wie Was-ist-Was-Bücher. Und der Schimpanse ohne Fell auf den Knien.« Es muss Text drin gestanden sein, kein Bilderbuch, weil mein Bruder immer von mir daraus vorgelesen haben…
@callunavulgaris@mastodon.scotSo, on the shoe thing, my adoration of footwear started early. This is a photo of me aged three in 1974, a bridesmaid at the wedding of my adored uncle who died last year. By all accounts I stared at my shoes the entire day, just transfixed by their shiny light blue glory. The tale is still told today 😄

@carl@heath.socialV-Dems demokratirapport 2026 är osminkad. 92 autokratier, 87 demokratier. USA förlorar sin status som liberal demokrati för första gången på femtio år. Värre än 1930-talet. Men vägen framåt finns.

@karlauerbach@sfba.socialGeneral query: are you anticipating the return of 1974 gas lines and perhaps even/odd gasoline filling days?
(I am.)
By-the-way, when that was happening I would go fill my car at midnight - a time when it was ambiguous whether the day was an even one or an odd one.

@paulbusch@mstdn.ca#22 on our countdown is the 893 km La Grande River, which drains a modest watershed of 97,600 km2 in Quebec and flows westward into James Bay. In French, La Grande Rivière, and its original Cree name, Chisasibi, both mean "great river") and it is the second-longest river in the province. The river has been extensively developed as a source of hydroelectric power by Hydro-Québec, starting in 1974 a total of 8 hydroelectric dams have been built on the waterway. As a result of the development projects, the Cree people of the region lost parts of their traditional hunting and trapping territories. Organic mercury levels increased in the fish, which forms an important part of their diet, as the organic material is trapped by the rising waters in the new reservoirs.

A quote from Computer Lib (1974)
@bourgwick@heads.social
@buercher@tooting.chWhen asked whether he plans to extend the 10% global tariffs indefinitely, Donald Trump seemed to completely ignore the framework of Section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act – which he’s using to implement the duties.
“We have a right to do pretty much what we want to do,” he said, ignoring the statute’s requirement for the administration to receive congressional approval for tariffs beyond 150 days.
