My dad has been #retired long enough that he forgot what day of the week it is and was wondering why we weren't doing our normal weekly video call. Normally we do that on Saturday mornings

#trump is setting himself up for another contempt of court situation.

Actively threatening Americans.

Since #elonmusk and #doge were denied access to Social Security info, his administration is threatening to freeze or shut down #socialsecurity saying they don't know how to remove DOGE from social security, and don't know what the judgement means, as I guess they can't read.

One court case is justification to threaten 70 million #disabled and #retired Americans.

Once all the #Boomer leaders and Dictators are #retired, the rest of the Boomers will look around and realize this isn't the 1980's. Expect more wealth destruction until then.

Putting the final touches to my #fediverse talk for #u3acommunities next week. Agenda includes :

* Brief history of social media
* Some of the issues popular social media has
* Fediverse architecture (#ActivityPub, #mastodon, #peertube etc) plus bridging to #bluesky & #rss
* Moderation
* Active user numbers
* What I'm doing & demo

Anything I should definitely include for this #technical but #retired audience ?

BTW It would be great to get some more #followers before the talk demo

#Medical #vaccine #Retired I am sitting here with ice on my arm from my first shingles vaccine. The pain is not nearly as bad as my wife's shingles that she has had all week. It seems to be getting better, thank God. Over 50? Consider getting your own vaccine, currently free for seniors.

Hi Everybody!

Just met an old friend for lunch and it was lovely.

But I was driving in to where we were meeting and I thought, OMG, how far is this! It’s taking forever.

It was half the distance I used to drive to work each day. How small my world has become (by choice, might I add). #retired #happyretiree

Oh no!

The “recruitment” agent I’ve never heard of and never spoke to texted me saying I must respond immediately to them by clicking their linky link otherwise this high paying job with limited time to respond back to job offer might go away!

I haven't had a meeting in 2.5 years I haven't felt polyester in 2.5 years I haven't had to try to figure out what some stuffed shirt meant when they used 7 times as many words as necessary to dance around a topic and everyone else naturally gets it in 2.5 years
