Vary, el del sombrero, en NeoPaquita 🍉🐀🦩🔻Hoy es un día triste. La mejor editorial de divulgación científica que ha conocido este pais cierra para siempre. Lamentablemente mi presupuesto no me permite hacer un desembolso más. Pero si alguna vez habéis querido uno de esos libros de divulgación de <a href="https://neopaquita.es/tags/NextDoor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NextDoor</a>, hoy es vuestra última oportunidad. Porque mañana no existirá. Si queréis que los autores cobren un precio justo por el esfuerzo de haber escrito esos libros, y si podéis permitírnoslo, hoy compraréis. <a href="https://neopaquita.es/tags/NextDoorCierra" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NextDoorCierra</a> 💔<a href="https://neopaquita.es/tags/NoPromo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NoPromo</a> <a href="https://www.nextdoorpublishers.com/libros/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.nextdoorpublishers.com/libros/</a>

JennyI made the mistake of opening <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/NextDoor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NextDoor</a> today and found a post praising <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/CO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CO</a> Gov <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Polis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Polis</a> for declaring yesterday the 1st <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Colorado" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Colorado</a>-<a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Canada</a> Friendship Day, in response to the <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/tariff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tariff</a> war. A guy responded critically, with incredible confidence, that EVERYONE KNOWS that tariffs are a sign of respect for the other country. Turns out NOT applying tariffs is actually disrespectful. Who knew?!? And yes, people responded in support of this idiotic self-appointed maga armchair economist. Make it stop. 🙄

Vary, el del sombrero 🔻🐀🦩🍉Así que si queréis regalar cultura, si queréis pillar ya los próximos regalos de cumpleaños, el de las navidades que viene o el del próximo Sam Va Lentín, aprovechad la liquidación y ayudad para que <a href="https://paquita.masto.host/tags/NextDoor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NextDoor</a> cierre por todo lo alto. -> <a href="https://www.nextdoorpublishers.com" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.nextdoorpublishers.com</a>

Vary, el del sombrero 🔻🐀🦩🍉La editorial cierra. Esta semana tiene todo el catálogo al 50 %. Luego el descuento irá bajando paulatinamente. Acabado el mes, se cerrará definitivamente y los particulares ya no podremos comprar libros de <a href="https://paquita.masto.host/tags/NextDoor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NextDoor</a>. Nunca más.

Vary, el del sombrero 🔻🐀🦩🍉Pues acabo de desembolsar un gasto importante en libros. En libros que están tirados de precio, y que son de una calidad excepcional. En libros de <a href="https://paquita.masto.host/tags/NextDoor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NextDoor</a>

william.maggosBetter interview than I was expecting. I really liked the argument that we're now so much more connected to our family (constant texting) and also to the larger world (social media), but less connected to our local community. It would be great to solve this IRL but maybe in the same way that tech has helped with the other two, we could also solve that middle kind of disconnection.

Alice Dubiel 🔬💉🦠😷🌬☮️This is what I've been talking about with regard to both San Francisco and Seattle: anti progressives aligned with tech money and using reactionary media such as Sinclair, SF Chronicle, Seattle Times and Fox.

Lazarou Monkey Terror 🚀💙🌈Mastodon.social's pipes and gears struggling today, which I can only take as a sign of more newcomers seeking sanctuary from Corporate Social Media and the inevitable swarm of Nazis who want to ruin your day. I hear MAGA are taking to invading communities on Next Door set up to deal with a Trump presidency and mocking them. Will Next Door stop it? No, it's 'engagement' and engagement has no morality, it's just engagement. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/NextDoor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NextDoor</a>

Woozle HypertwinHow many folks here knew that Durham used to have a trolley system? There are some photos here: <a href="https://www.opendurham.org/buildings/607-611-east-main-street-streetcar-and-bus-garage" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.opendurham.org/buildings/607-611-east-main-street-streetcar-and-bus-garage</a>Closest to where I live, in Duke Forest, there was a line which ended at Lakewood -- which, at the time, was a wooded lake with an amusement park and other amenities. It was apparently a wonderful place for kids and families to hang out. <a href="https://www.opendurham.org/buildings/lakewood-shopping-center" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.opendurham.org/buildings/lakewood-shopping-center</a>It's a shopping center now, almost entirely paved over for car parking. (Nothing against the shops there; it did go into a decline for awhile, but between Food Lion on one end and the crafting and thrift shops on the other, we go there quite often now.)When they were repaving the streets near there about 15 years ago, I remember noticing a patch where you could see the old street -- rails set into paving stones. (Shortly before that, on Kent Street where it runs through Morehead Cemetery, there was a pothole which revealed one of the rails.) I know it must have been a while back because I never took any photos; if I'd had a smartphone, I'm pretty sure I would have made a point of doing that.If this is the kind of "great" that we want to make America be again, then I'm all for it. ...but I think a lot of us are worried that we'll be going the other way.<a href="https://toot.cat/tags/DurhamNC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DurhamNC</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Nextdoor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nextdoor</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/crosspost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crosspost</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/publicTransit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#publicTransit</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/trolley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trolley</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/carCulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#carCulture</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/whatIsGreatAnyway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#whatIsGreatAnyway</a>[<a href="https://nextdoor.com/p/CN7smJgXYHmH" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">original post</a>]

It may fail, but it seems worth trying. Maybe we'll learn something, even if we end up not being able to agree on anything.A watershed election has occurred, and Republicans now dominate the field (to say the least). A lot of folks are very happy about this, while a lot of us are somewhere between "not looking forward to" and "terrified of" the next four years.So, there are a lot of strong feels in play here! Some negative, some positive. I think we can talk honestly about those feelings, be straightforward about them, without having to bash each other over the head with accusations or gloating. I'm not here to take away anyone's joy or deny anyone's fears.We do need to talk about why we're having such different reactions, though. We need to dig into the facts -- and how we decide what is fact and what is fiction, because that has clearly been the source of the overwhelming majority of disagreements between Left and Right.My hope is that the differences between us, as voters, are far less than the differences between the political parties we'd prefer to represent us and the pundits and news-outlets we choose to listen to -- and that what appears to separate us is largely the product of media spin and echo-chamber silos, rather than simply emerging from mutually incompatible views of the future we want....and yes, a lot of the more mainstream news outlets (often inaccurately described as "left-leaning") distort and mislead too -- especially the ones owned by billionaires -- although they tend to take a more delicate approach than right-wing media. Both "sides" of the media talk about the problems we face in terms that keep us from addressing the real, underlying issues -- by starting proxy-wars over talking-point issues and bumper-sticker politics.On a more personal note, I'm sorry it's taken me so long to write this intro post after setting up the group; I had a migraine for most of the weekend, and the work that had piled up to be done stayed piled up and I only started to cut through it in the last couple of days and get my head to a place where I could figure out what I wanted to say here. I hope it makes sense.Anyway, having written that, hopefully some of the other ideas I wanted to discuss will start allowing themselves to be processed into words as well.ad astra per aspera,Woozle
