For folks buying new Apple devices:

"If you buy a new iPhone or iPad and don't have enough iCloud storage to back up your current device using iCloud Backup, you're eligible to get temporary iCloud storage."

Worth reading this note from Apple, doing the prep before you start the transfer...

Evening all,

A distressing week in #TheArchers where the mother called us to dob her son. He was apparently driving someone else’s car without permission, caused a crash, rescued the people and then put the blame for the crash on the car owner moving her into the driving seat. She said he’s a good lad really . . .

Servers with more than four choices are normally running customised versions or "forks" of Mastodon, such as Glitch Mastodon or Hometown Mastodon. Alternatively some admins have the needed skills to customise their own server directly.

There are some well-run Glitch and Hometown servers listed at fedi.garden/fediverse-servers-…

Unfortunately they don't always say on the server's descrption which extra features are active, but you could try asking the admins?

The question for “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” as season 5 begins this week is: How does the reality show top last season’s barn-burner of a finale?

Biden has said:

I have been briefed by my team regarding what federal law enforcement is investigating as a possible assassination attempt of former President Trump today.

A suspect is in custody, and I commend the work of the Secret Service and their law enforcement partners… t.co/rU9O1OoPMr

“It does not matter, to Vance, that these Haitian newcomers came here legally, under the Temporary Protected Status program. It does not matter that they filled a valuable need … What matters to Vance is who they are, where they come from and what they look like. They don’t belong to this soil, he might say, and therefore they don’t belong.” nytimes.com/2024/09/14/opinion…
in reply to Gabe Ortíz

If Vance “had a moral compass, a shred of decency or a belief in anything other than his own ambition and will-to-power, he would resign his Senate seat effective immediately, leave the presidential race and retire from public life, following a mournful apology for his ethical transgressions.”



Tonight's #Monsterdon film is #NightoftheComet (1984), starting in just under an hour (9 EDT). Viewers who want more later may enjoy a @skiffyandfanty podcast from 2017 about this -- the Torture Cinema subcast is usually about bad movies, but actually, they found a lot to love about this one.

Folks, it is an hour until #Monsterdon, the weekly monster movie watch party. Now's a good time to mute the tag if you want to avoid it.

If you'd like to join in, this week we're watching NIGHT OF THE COMET (1984), a horror movie about a dusty comet, apparently. It's on Tubi and Pluto, or you can download it from Archive.org over here: archive.org/details/night.-of.…

We start at 9pm Eastern time! Be there or be Mondale!
