Good morning #Fediverse and happy Tuesday to all of you!
It's a new day with new things on the agenda, so let's discuss what the plans are for the day.
It's work stuff here as usual with only one meeting instead of two since my boss is on vacation this week.
After the work stuff, it'll likely just be time playing Horizon Forbidden West on PC.

“The company behind Donald Trump's social media app Truth Social will start trading on the Nasdaq exchange on Tuesday, potentially delivering a windfall of more than $3 billion to the former president.
“The former president would own at least 58% of the merged company, a stake that could be worth billions of dollars at current market valuations.”

Truth Social will start trading on Tuesday. Trump stands to earn a fortune
Trump Media and Technology Group will trade on the Nasdaq exchange under the stock symbol DJT. The listing comes as the former president is mired in a slew of legal cases.

The weather in Montreal this week is going to be a wild ride.
