“Idaho senator born in another state tells Native American congressional candidate from a tribe native to the state to “go back where you came from.”

It would have been a much wordier headline but relays a lot more pertinent information.

Aside from being just a generally great Lemmy app, !arctic@lemmy.world does this.

Krondor the Betrayal by Raymond E Feist

All his books are great and most are connected in one big world (though you don’t have to read them as one epic series to enjoy them). Magician: Apprentice and Magician: Master are commonly 2 of my top recommendations for people getting into fantasy.

A bunch are on sale on Kobo right now too.

SNL hit this one out of the park a while ago and posted something that seemed farcical but was truer than any of us would like.

“You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know … morons.”

I’m just finished This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone and am working through We Have Always Lived In The Castle by Shirley Jackson

Time War was a book that I had tried to read multiple times in the past and could never get through finishing it even though I enjoyed it I would just peter out in reading. They both fill a couple of Bingo squares for me so I may shift them around in the future but for right now, they fulfill “family drama” and “it takes two”

I signed up a few years ago for Dracula Daily and it sends you (via email) the appropriately dated entries each* day. I read through it each year now.

I ran into this a bit over a week ago when I upgraded. I had been running the public beta on my 2020 iPad Pro, and upgraded 2 days after 18 officially launched, but after it was pulled for bricking M4 Pros. It sounds like 18.0.1 is in progress and should be out soon, however I installed the 18.1 public beta on mine after seeing others have success with it from 17.7.

That said, my prior upgrade sat around for at least a week before I threw the beta in and there were no issues.

If you have another iOS device, you should be able to go to settings>Account Settings (the one with your Memoji)>iCloud Backup and see all backups stored in your iCloud.
