There's a picture of the mayor being sworn in and another of one of the accused men. The article does not mention the race of the attackers nor how they self-identify.

Apologies. Some federated content comes through with (kbin.social) after the thread title. I'm sure it's one of the bugs Ernest is working on.

Just a reminder that regardless of what kbin.social decides, you can block federated domains for yourself. Go to:
https://kbin.social/d/domainname
So I just blocked Threads and it was:
https://kbin.social/d/threads.net
On the right side, click the "don't" icon (circle with a slash through it). When it's red, that means that domain is blocked.

I've discovered that my brain will only accept certain content certain ways. If I'm really into a fun book, then text is perfect. If it's any kind of "literature" or non-fiction, I need to listen to it at the fastest setting my brain can absorb (usually 2x speed) while doing things that would otherwise not be fun (unloading the dishwasher, cleaning, doing laundry, whatever). And I pay attention to my emotional reactions to stuff. If something is too heavy to be fun (or to handle in general), I don't make myself go back to it. I evaluate whether I want to continue. I have more than 1,000 books on my Libby wishlist, so I feel no guilt about moving on to the next thing.

 

Hello /c/Eugene! I'm so happy you exist!

The Fediverse has this awesome ability to allow for "listening" for relevant content via tags. I'm not sure how Lemmy handles it, but on Kbin you can set your magazine (community) to look for certain tags and it will pull in content from the Fediverse that has those tags. Also, if you add tags to your posts, they will possibly get picked up in various places looking for the tags. So please tag your content if you want it to crosspost passively.

Here's a FAQ (for Kbin) that talks a bit about how tags work.

Kbin lets you see content based on a tag, as well:
(https://kbin.social/tag/eugene)[https://kbin.social/tag/eugene]. Just replace "eugene" with the tag you're looking for. It's helpful if you want to see if a tag is used and to discover where it's used.

Please do say if Lemmy has similar resources or instructions.

You use tags. You can see this for yourself if you want to know if a tag will get picked up and where it might either pull from or go to: https://kbin.social/tag/food. This FAQ talks about how tags work.

Sure, this talks briefly about tags. I'm trying to find the guide for new users that was written early this week, but can't at the moment. I believe it talked more about them. When posting on kbin, add tags to the tags field. Try to make them relevant and likely that someone has set their magazine or other instance community to look for it.

Edit: This is also how Related Magazines and Related Threads are pulled into the sidebar within magazines.

Edit 2: There's also /m/gettingstarted but they don't have a ton of stuff there, though they do link to that FAQ above.

Edit 3: To see if a tag will work for your purposes this is the link: https://kbin.social/tag/food where you replace "food" with whatever your tag is. This lets you see where people are posting about that as well as what kind of content will pull into your magazine if you use that tag in your magazine settings.

If things are being tagged, they should be picked up in related threads within magazines and microblogs (on kbin, but I think in other instances, too). So tag a lot.

I put olive oil on the popcorn first, make sure it's nice and coated and then sprinkle on a mix I previously stirred together in a little bowl:
1/2 teaspoon Chicken Bouillon powder
shake in as much of the following as I want:
Italian Seasoning (usually more of this than the others)
Cinnamon (couple shakes)
Taco Seasoning (or any other kind of premade seasoning mix - the Chili flavor packet from Top Ramen is good) about a teaspoon, maybe
And finish with a lot of nutritional yeast.
Stir really well. I use the end of a wooden spoon kind of like a pestle in the bowl to break up the nutritional yeast flakes.

I'll pop a cup of popcorn at a time and put on maybe 1/3 to half a cup of seasoning. I made it last night for dinner. It takes about a minute to do the seasoning mix.
