Starting April 15, only those who pay $8 per month for Twitter Blue will have their tweets recommended to others via For You.

We just found out the Texas Observer is shutting down this week. Unfortunately, we found out via our friends at @texastribune.

It's been an absolute pleasure interacting with everyone in the Fediverse as the Texas Observer, and we'll miss you.

Oh, hi! https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md0356.html

#Lebanon woke up in two time zones today. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/lebanon-has-two-times-day-amid-daylight-savings-dispute-2023-03-26/

NORAD says it detected an unidentified radar track over south central #Texas today and launched aircraft to investigate the situation, which identified a small airborne object as likely a hobbyist Pico balloon.

Soooo I’ve been down with #COVID19 now for 18 days and counting. That in spite of five vaccinations and a five-day course of #Paxlovid.

I did finally test negative three days ago, but I still have almost no stamina. Even sitting at a desk for more than about half an hour leaves me dizzy and weak. And I still am running a low fever.

Oh, the joys of being chronically ill during a pandemic. #CovidIsNotOver #corona #coronavirus
