  @Tutanota@mastodon.social Is there a way to turn off the spam filters on my account? Seems like the number of legit emails that aren't making it to my inbox is growing, even if the addies are labeled "Not spam" under "Spam rules". Turning off the filters might help me figure out what the problem is.

  ICYMI "Örebropartiet" is the political party that #Mullvad co-founder Daniel Berntsson personally donated 5 million Swedish kronor to. That's over 500,000 US dollars and almost 450,000 Euro. The party is described as "to the right of the far right." #Politics #EuroPol #Sweden #Europe #Tech #VPN https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2026/09/24/in-sweden-the-rise-of-a-party-to-the-right-of-the-far-right-puts-local-democracy-in-orebro-under-pressure_6757880_4.html

  "Because of global climate change and the warming of the planet, we're drying out vegetation much more than we did in the past, and that makes it more susceptible to fire," said Jonathan Overpeck, a climate scientist and dean at the University of Michigan. #Canada #ClimateChange #Wildfires cc: @cbcnews@flipboard.com https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/wildfire-climate-emissions-smoke-9.7274862

  "The next senator from #Michigan must confront the forces that are making life harder for working people. ...corporate greed, the private health insurance industry, Big Pharma, polluters, landlords, private prison companies, and the billionaire-funded political machine that has warped our democracy. #AbdulElSayed is the only Democrat in this race who has shown the moral clarity, policy imagination, and grassroots support to do that." #USPol #Politics #Vote2026 https://www.metrotimes.co...

  Walked in to Al Nalli Music on #MainStreet in #AnnArbor #Michigan circa early 1980s. The keyboard section was empty, just a bunch of cables and cords hanging off of keyboard racks. Me: "Did you get robbed or something?" Them: "Naw, #StevieWonder came in here and bought everything we had!" #HappyBirthday number 76 to a legend, a genius, and fellow tech nerd. 🎵 🎶 ⚡ 🎹 🎂 👍 😁 #Music #Motown #RhythmAndBlues Photo credit: Susan Wineberg, 1981.

  I've watched more #Bollywood than most Western folk. Some were classics, some were stinkers, most were in-between. But even the worst movies had at least one banger of a track, and more often than not #AshaBhosle was singing lead. Her voice was bold and bright, it stood out in any mix of any genre. IMHO She's one of the finest vocalists of our time. May her memory be a blessing. 🎶 🙏 🕊️ #Music #Cinema #India #SouthAsia https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c6ppd0qdp1do

  Extremely disappointed to see this propaganda piece in the latest issue of #Buddhist monthly #LionsRoar. #Bhutan's persecution and ethnic cleansing of the #Lhotshampa is widely documented. Many refugees are settled here in #Michigan and cannot return home. Bhutan's so-called #GrossNationalHappiness is merely #BuddhaWash for the regime's genocidal nationalism. #Asia #Politics #Militarism #Genocide #Dhamma #Dharma #Religion #Spirituality https://www.lionsroar.com/in-the-la...

  Former Ambassador for #Palestine #LeilaShahid has passed. "Leila Shahid was not only the best of us, she was the very best of us" -- Mouin Rabbani. She was also the great-great-granddaughter of #Bahaullah, the founder of the #BahaiFaith, although she was not a member of the faith. So long and God bless. 🙏 🇵🇸 🕊️ #Bahai https://apnews.com/article/israel-palestinians-leila-shahid-plo-dies-c00b8a0dd4eb49c1fe93950c5e4323c1

  #Canada just made it *easier* for some folks to become citizens. If you have a grandparent or parent who was born in Canada or a naturalized citizen of Canada you probably qualify. The application process is pretty simple and only costs $75. I've done it! #ElbowsUp 🇨🇦 👍 😁 https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-citizenship/act-changes/rules-2025.html
