Turns out Mastodon search includes image alt text.

Excellent! 👏👏👏👏👏👏 

 I find @62a04c04 very helpful for keeping on top of the chaotic storm of litigation swirling around that ex-President, they’re curating from lots of online sources. ¡Muchas gracias! 

 Hey, in Canada, the province of Manitoba just elected Canada’s first Indigenous premier: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/2023-manitoba-election-results-1.6985468 

Main plank of the platform was healthcare reform.

Dude’s got quite a back story, too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wab_Kinew

Visit Preferences/Public Profile/Privacy and Reach scroll down a bit to SEARCH.

Why this PSA? Our member-owned co-op instance (see https://cosocial.info) just turned on Mastodon 4.2 search and wow, it’s good.  Also, really fast.

Thanks to the Mastodon team for the strong work!

 Haha, I worked for three big Silly Valley giants, and all three of them gave me this intense training about Words You Can’t Use Without Sounding Monopolish. So, giving that training is now evidence of being monopolish?

 Wanna know how to spot a Real Man? He strides fearlessly into the kitchen after a big messy feast and for an opener performs a triumph of 3-D geometry in dishwasher packing, then, with a chortle,  mercilessly expunges cooked-on food from all surfaces, even improperly-sealed cast iron, shedding a manly tear at the pan’s condition. He sneers at the grease’s pleas for mercy. The stovetop recognizes the inevitable and meekly submits to ferocious spatter-and-drip removal.
