Who's responsible for solving the USA's toxic political culture and racism?
I’ve thought long and hard about posting this, and it will probably get me into trouble or come across as a ‘stop picking on us’ winge. Despite my reservations, here goes!
This is a question I often ask myself when I find myself in the uber-liberal technology corners of the internet and social media. I spend my time on the Fediverse, so I don’t get this from Facebook and Twitter/X (only because I rarely go there), but I assume it’s similar there.

Morena world. Ours is cold rain today, so I hope yours is a more pleasant one.
Autogenerated image captions in micro.blog
A couple of weeks ago I posted about how micro.blog lets you use the FIGURE and FIGCAPTION tags as well as the IMG tags for images Figure and figcaption element for images in micro.blog.
Now I have discovered that micro.blog autogenerates a caption and hashtags for images that you put into the Uploads section.

Good morning, world.
All politics about royalty and class aside, this looks like a genuine moment of human warmth. The world needs more of them.

Our son and daughter-in-law are now back in England after their month-long bus tour through the Continent and are settling into their new flat. The DIL has even got a job on CNN’s 5 Things podcast.
She’s been very lucky to land on her feet so quickly. We always thought she would as she’s very talented and hard-working, and has been strategic in her work here in NZ, to work in a variety of roles and programmes to get a range of experience in public radio and news.
If anyone knows of a job for a talented videographer and news camera operator in the London region, our son would love to hear from them! Angus Dreaver’s show reel
My poor wife has lost her voice. She’s had a cough for a couple of days — probably hay fever — as I haven’t caught anything from her. Last night she went to a book launch in town and all she has now is a hoarse rasp to communicate in. Fortunately, she doesn’t have any online meetings today.
Yuk. The rain is coming in sideways at the moment. Definitely a day to stay home unless it’s an emergency.
Great service from Awanui

Māori queen Nga Wai Hono i te po Paki crowned in ‘new dawn’ for New Zealand
This will be interesting. Her father had taken a more prominent role in politics since the election of a conservative government last year.
She is part of a new generation of young Māori who are fully bicultural and are a genuine powerhouse in our society. This can only be for the good if New Zealand is going to be a modem, open and accepting society, as many of us wish for.

One disadvantage of not being able to get around so easily these days is missing the ninth-anniversary drinks of the informal DIA Communication Team social club get-together tonight. We were a group that worked together all those years ago and still get on well.
