Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?

In the lane, snow is glistening

A beautiful sight

We're happy tonight

Tooting on a winter Mastodon

Gone away is the bluebird

Here to stay is a pachyderm

To sing a love song

While we stroll along

Tooting on a winter Mastodon

In the meadow, we can build a snowman

We'll pretend that he's #JohnMastodon

He'll say, are you married?

We'll say, no man

But if we do we'll toot it all around.

Comparisons between ActivityPub (used by Mastodon, misskey, etc) and ATproto (used by Bluesky) are in vogue for obvious reasons, but here's one I liked which is mostly about how blocks work: https://benlog.com/2024/11/17/who-owns-the-graph/ . Includes both technical and enforcement aspects.

With a few days until the #IrelandElection on November 29, Simon Harris, the Taoiseach (prime minister), got into hot water over a tense conversation he had in a supermarket which was caught on video. He has apologized for his conduct in dismissing the concerns of who? (guessing encouraged)

This one is at least a little bit of a trick question. The Fianna Fáil manifesto says "Decriminalise drug possession for personal use" (and has some additional language) but there have been several rounds of clarification since that came out to the effect that they are referring to cannabis here not decriminalizing all drugs.

My life as a math nerd:

Me: did you know that any natural number equal to one mod 4 can be written as the sum of two squares?

Them: what about nine?

Me (not in front of reference material):

Me (12 hours later): OK, any PRIME equal to one mod 4. For example, 13 = 2^2 + 3^2, 17 = 1^2 + 4^2, 29 = 2^2 + 5^2, etc.

Them: 👍

Given excluded middle (or something similar), every inhabited, bounded-above set of real numbers has a supremum. We don't get that in #constructiveMathematics but what additional conditions can ensure we have a supremum?

Pedestrian infrastructure in Los Angeles. The bad news: the sidewalk ends well short of the stoplight where it would be possible to cross the busy street. The good news: there is a use trail through the rosemary.
