I've updated (mostly culled) my list of Milwaukee Mastodon users.
This list used to be over 80 people, but the vast majority only posted in 2022/2023. A few straggled into 2024. I removed anyone who hasn't posted more than once in 2025.
It kind of sucks, but meh... it is what it is.
Also, I should try to find more people. And, move this off of GitHub at some point.

Lazyweb: Has anybody spotted a news article or data source that quantifies the voter composition of the new TN districts — as Harris/Trump, or 2022 House results, or whatever? I’m wondering just how far underwater each of the 9 new districts is.

SEC-Klage zu Twitter-Übernahme: Elon Musk will 1,5 Millionen US-Dollar bezahlen
Anfang 2022 hat Elon Musk heimlich angefangen, Aktien von Twitter zu kaufen. Damit hat er Geld gespart. Dafür will er nun 1,5 Millionen US-Dollar Strafe zahlen.

Since February 2022.
To put this into perspective, that’s roughly equivalent to the number of US servicemen killed AND wounded during the entirety of the Vietnam War.
Had you or I - you know, non $billionaires - done this we would have had to pay a far, far, far, far, far ... larger fine.
But Elon M, being apparently the chosen one gets away with a fine of $1.5million - about one percent of one percent of his wealth - on a deal that made him $billions and screwed over a lot of other people.

Back in 2022, after #StormArwen, I rolled up a section of the fence around my wood so that I could haul fallen timber out of the south end of my wood. There's still a lot of fallen timber there, but I think I have hauled out as much as I practically can. So today I decided to get the fence back up.
Of course, brambles had grown through the rolled up fence, so it was far beyond my stre…
Friend in Bray was looking to move back into the home she was renting in 2022 for €2,100/month.
The landlord quotes her €3,000/month.
I’m shocked: how can he do that when there’s a 2% yearly cap on price increases? So the most he should be able to charge is €2,273.10.
Can you guess the answer?
Did you say because Irish people elected a majority conservative/neoliberal government?

Twenty-one states funneled nearly a half-billion dollars, or $491 million, of taxpayer money
to anti-abortion "crisis pregnancy center" organizations between fiscal years 2022 and 2025.
That figure does not include millions some states diverted from federal programs like "Temporary Assistance for Needy Families",
and it does not include multimillion-dollar tax credit programs launched after federal protections for abortion rights were overturned.

Several years ago, a street medic described a system like this and wanted to know if it could be built.
https://hackaday.com/2022/09/08/the-tak-ecosystem-military-coordination-goes-open-source/
Back then there was just no way to make it happen. Hardware was too expensive. We couldn't really ever get it cheap enough, per medic, to deploy. Best I could put together was a bunch of burner phones.
But now it's starting to really make sense. LoRa is cheap, and possibly cheaper in bulk. And it wouldn't be necessary to build everything since ATAK-CIV exists and has several open source implementations. It can even tie in to drones (which are illegal to bring to protests in at least a few states).
This has a lot of potential applications for street medic coordination, protest marshal coordination, and for airsoft teams...
