As a 50+ man in a solid relationship, I don't know much about the dating scene out there. But the TikTok girlies say it's rough.
Just now a neighbor's 40ish daughter visiting from California told her dad how her most recent "first date" there ended: she had to punch the dude in the face because he put hands around her neck.
I didn't learn if those were "angry throttling" hands or "kinky neck squeeze" hands, but on a first date, I don't think that even matters.

For those who use IBM TTS on Linux. Get the IBMTTS dictionaries, copy them to /var/opt/IBM/ibmtts/dict, change files like this, from Enu-main.dic to main.dct. And then it should work. Do change the rest of those files too. Root and abbreviantion. Oh yeah enu-abbr.dic should be abbreviation.dct. So: abbreviation.dct main.dct root.dct.

Canadian Ken Westerfeld during his World Champion of Freestyle days. Back then, the scene was in the park behind the Ontario Legislature buildings, and top athletes like Ken were happy to throw with whomever showed up. How very weird.
That attitude made an indelible mark on my soul. Thanks, Ken, wherever you are!
In 1978, Dungeons and Dragons was VERY weird.
But here's the thing: The tall, thin, coffee-toned dungeon-master in this newspaper story? The sick weirdos obsessed with controlling every aspect of our culture and imagination would happily have burned him alive for being weird if they could have gotten away with it.
Kids having fun exercising their imaginations in glorious technicolour are the good weird.

Harris wants Trump's mic to stay unmuted during entire upcoming debate
Harris' demand is a break from the Biden campaign, and it indicates the VP thinks Trump's outbursts would end up benefiting her.Bryan Metzger (Insider)
Re Telegram - two main issues are apparently at play. One is child porn, the other is concerns about ransomware/extortion groups. The big concern is rightly about the first one.
With the later, groups targeting France (and the UK) have been dumping victim data on Telegram groups, with Telegram directly hosting the data and then failing to remove it.
Telegram is not an encrypted platform - the groups are plain text.
Telegram has <50 staff and 1 billion monthly active users.
With regards to Elon’s claim today that a majority of Mastodon content is child porn - this isn’t true.
Some Fediverse servers are unsavoury - as an instance admin, you can chose to defederate them or not cache media content. You would only encounter this if a user interacted with it.
After approaching two years of being a Mastodon admin to a server with tens of thousands of users, I’ve only ever seen one post which was concerning - I removed the server and reported it to relevant authorities.
