pluralistic@mamot.fr - A major problem with letting billionaires decide how your country is run is that they will back whichever psycho promises the lowest taxes and least regulation, no matter how completely batshit and unfit that person is:

Not sure why it won't let me respond to your comment directly..
If you look at my feed at all, you will see I am far from a "Republican"
If one watches PBS Newshour with any critical media literacy their drift to the right is clear. They are always doing the "both sides", treating Trump and his Reublican minons as normal, etc. But the Republicans (who I am definitely not one of) have been working on this since Reagan and they really got going in 2005 https://www.democracynow.org/2005/5/12/a_right_wing_coup_at_pbs

If you're looking for a cell plan in Canada, I've been with Public Mobile, ‘discount Telus’, for years and am happy with their service. This is my referral link. You get a $10 credit and I get a "point”.
Their website is minimalist and good. Telus’ network is reliable and widespread (uses Bell elsewhere). You can order a SIM/eSIM online.
I have 40GB 5G for $35/mo unlimited in Canada. They have a special for 60GB 5G Canada/US/Mexico.

Wow. This looks great. If it had been available 2 months ago my summer holidays would look a bit different!

stefanlindbohm@mastodon.social - Today we’re quietly (and finally!) opening up Railfinder to the public! This is our beta version and - hopefully - the first step towards that one booking site for trains across Europe that we all dream of.
Lots of work has gone into this and equally lots still to do before reach that vision, but if you’d like to try what we’be built you can now just go to https://www.railfinder.eu and have a go!
Any and all feedback more than welcome 🙏
