the #wildfires consuming #Spain are also consuming Portugal because the fires started in their shared Galicia region and it’s extended from there.

apparently
#Portugal doesn’t have firefighting airplanes to deal with the fires and has had to ask Marruecos #Morocco for help:

i’ve spent time in this news curation exercise ―a reporting practice i helped pioneer more than 20 years ago on my blogs and social media― to show y’all that the
#fediverse is a place to get the news. and that’s in part thanks to one company: @Flipboard@flipboard.social

we need now to convince citizen journalists, bloggers and hyperlocal publications that having a presence in the #fediverse is, in the era of AI slop and #enshittification, more important than ever.

i would need to switch VPN localities to have access to the amounts of headlines from spanish, french, italian sources i get here ―on
#Mastodon’s own search engine― than on ANY www search engine. they all rely on either Google or Bing slop. Mastodon doesn’t.
