Welcome! Just find any conversation in the Firehose that looks interesting and jump right in. Follow people you would like to see more of, to create a less-busy Friends column. But don't follow everyone indiscriminately, or the two columns will just duplicate each other.
You don't need followers for people to see you, and you don't insult people if you don't mutually follow. There's no algorithm.

#cosochoral concert today!
I was able to record our dress rehearsal Friday night. The choir is a bit more distant sounding in this recording than I'd prefer, because the setup was not what I anticipated. Still I think it came out pretty well considering.
I recorded two different tracks: a pair of my omni's, and my friends 414's in mid side. If you click the V2 icon to the right, you can compare.

current scam in my inbox. Email detailing how Im eligible for my student loan forgiveness.
All you need to do is click the link...
Please let people know that when this becomes possible, make sure you go to a US gov site directly. Not some rando gmail address being "helpful"
Please spread the word.

EZ Pass users, if you get a text about a turnpike toll, do not click the link. It’s a scam. This one almost got me, it’s very convincing.

MAGA strikes again. Search results for ‘Why do my eyes hurt?’ and ‘My eyes hurt’ have exploded after the total solar eclipse occurred.

Dried bananas coming up tomorrow. Much different made at home from ripe bananas. instead of the “banana chips” they sell that need to have added sweetener.
Between the eclipse, the earthquake and the war in Gaza, things are gonna be lit in the evangelical churches during this Sunday's sermons.
Seismograph tracing from today's earthquake. This is typical. The ground is solid rock the whole east coast, so the fault shifts BANG with a little vibration but not the kind of prolonged shaking you saw in Taiwan. There was one here where people heard it instead of feeling it, and a lot of them called the gas company thinking there had been an explosion.
