In my retirement I am focused on genealogy research, US politics, and the environment. I follow the WNBA. I block obvious bots and solicitations. #aberdeennj #monmouthcountynj #monmouthdemocrats #cliffwoodbeachnj #nj #genealogy #dna #ancestrytips #weather
I just blocked a couple dozen BlueSky followers who appeared on my feed today. Seems to me only bots have time to seek out and follow 125,000 BlueSky users. And if these randos happen to be humans, I can't imagine what they might have to say that interests me. #bots

RFKJR and his political staff, without evidence or expert consultation, changed the CDC website to support the false narrative that vaccines cause autism.

The case against Comey has become a huge embarrassment for the DOJ. I haven't seen this much stupidity since the 1994 WTC bombers tried to claim the deposit on the van they blew up. Errors, deception, and vindictiveness from the govt. Don't mess around with Jim!

Knowledge is power. See the actions of President Trump for what they are—and spread the word.
What Authoritarian Regimes Do
As we speak, the Trump administration is abandoning principles of democracy and dismantling the rule of law. The willful destruction of the federal science apparatus is but one harmful and onerous asp...

I just blocked another bot with the same AI generated "user" image. Come on, BlueSky! Only the AI-generated scene varies from these other bots from recent weeks. #bots

When a marriage record index includes an undated place of residence for the bride and groom, I add the marriage's month and year to the 2 blank date fields while processing the record import into my Ancestry tree. #ancestrytips #genealogy

Has Ancestry changed a name priority in your tree lately? When I import a "John H Doe" grave record as an Alt Name into "John Henry Doe", somehow the full name becomes the alternate. This happens on my laptop and iPhone, so it's not a cache issue. Support was no help. #ancestrytips #genealogy

If you import a Find a Grave record to Ancestry, be sure to add, source and prioritize all maiden names. Here's how to do it:
- Click add (choose name)
- Click edit (type the maiden name)
- Click attach source (choose Find a Grave)
- Click edit fact (check off Preferred)

I no longer recognize America.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

My Trumpy neighbors avoid discussing politics with me since the world turned upside down. They were all gung-ho about The Donald before the election, so I thought they'd emerge from winter victorious. But no.They don't brag on him. Nor do they express fear for the Republic. It's How's the weather?

I block BlueSky accounts that repost other people's content but have nothing to say. A reposter under pseudonym who follows 35k accounts and forwards a dozen posts a day is an influencer. I'm going thru 35 new follows to see whether they stay or go.

There are Canadian options rather than those imported ones.

Just finishing Band of Brothers. Easy Company stumbled upon starving prisoners in a death camp. The German locals said they were unaware of it. If we haven't protested an ICE detention center, we're no better than them.

Our local grocery chain offers its organic 100% pure Canadian maple syrup for $1.00 more than its 100% pure Canadian maple syrup. God only knows what sap would buy that regular 100% pure syrup.

Is this being looked into? Clearly Bibi is violating the terms of the Trump ceasefire in Gaza. Is anyone holding the IDF to account? @kim.senate.gov

Israel has destroyed more than 1,500 buildings in Gaza since ceasefire
Entire neighbourhoods controlled by Israel have been levelled in less than a month, satellite images show.

After the Soviets invaded Afghanistan in 1979, things only turned ugly for Moscow when it became an asymmetric war. I don't think a Venezuelan mobilization will be the issue for Washington. History suggests trouble will come down the road.

Venezuela says it is launching a “massive mobilization” of military personnel, weapons and equipment in response to the build-up of US warships and troops in the Caribbean Sea. https://cnn.it/3JJxzXa
