MUSK HAS BEEN ON A DETRIMENTAL TRANSITION
www.axios.com/2022/10/30/elon-musk-paul-pelosi-tweet-rumor
It's been just two days since Elon Musk officially bought Twitter. Already, the billionaire businessman is using the platform to spread misinformation to his 112 million followers — about the biggest U.S. news of the weekend.
Driving the news: Early on Sunday, Musk cited a widely-discredited website that implied the brutal attack on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband, Paul, wasn't carried out by an unhinged far-right blogger — but rather was linked to an anti-LGTBQ "theory" about a skirmish at a local bar.

This exchange between @HillaryClinton and @elonmusk should kill any remaining confidence advertisers had in the platform.

Elon Musk is now tweeting attacks on the media, but he still won't apologize for or acknowledge the misinformation that he spread earlier and then deleted.

Elon Musk @elonmusk
Twitter has had a massive drop in revenue, due to activist groups pressuring advertisers, even though nothing has changed with content moderation and we did everything we could to appease the activists.
Extremely messed up! They’re trying to destroy free speech in America.
THIS PROBLEM IS COINCIDENT WITH, AND AND A CONSEQUENCE OF YOUR "LEADERSHIP"

Elon Musk has spent the past 12 years tweeting whatever comes into his mind, often without major negative consequences. That was before he owned the place. Now, less than two weeks after his $44 billion purchase, the world’s richest man is finding that his actions—which recently included tweeting a baseless conspiracy theory to Hillary Clinton about the assault on Paul Pelosi—may actually have consequences. Advertisers are fleeing, the employees remaining after a round of mass layoffs are alienated, and onlookers are completely vexed by a freewheeling approach that has coincided with a rise in hate speech on the platform, among other problems.
Built in 1826 at no. 180 Elizabeth Street.
"The building at 180 Elizabeth Street, known as Macpherson House, is situated on the north bank of the Napanee River, east of Camden Road, in the Town of Greater Napanee. The two-storey, wood-frame building was designed in the Neoclassical style and was constructed in 1826.
The exterior, select elements of the interior and the scenic character of the property are protected by an Ontario Heritage Trust conservation easement (1982). The property is also designated by the Town of Greater Napanee under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act (By-law 169-77)in 1977. The property is now owned and operated by the Lennox and Addington Historical Society and has operated as a house museum since 1967.
Situated on the north bank of the Napanee River in the East Ward neighbourhood of the Town of Greater Napanee, the Macpherson House is located in the historic centre of Napanee. Prior to the 1840s, most of the important village structures such as Napanee's first store, tavern, church and school were located close to Macpherson's House, in what is now the eastern end of the town. Convenient to Macpherson's house, at the base of East Street, was Macpherson's mill, while his store with post office was nearby, at the foot of Adelphi Street. The broad lawns, kitchen garden and terraces contribute to the integrity of the property.
Macpherson House was the residence of Allan Macpherson (1784-1875), the most prominent and influential citizen of Napanee for much of the first half of the 19th century. The son of a noted British army officer, Macpherson moved from Kingston to Napanee in c. 1812 and became well-known in the community as the operator of the grist mill, the primary feature of the village. In addition to operating the grist mill, Macpherson developed extensive business interests in lumbering and owned a sawmill, a distillery and a general store, that also functioned as the community's first post office, with Macpherson serving as the postmaster. Macpherson was also a civic leader, serving as a magistrate, Justice of the Peace and Major in the Lennox militia. Exemplifying his concern for the improvement of the community, Macpherson personally financed the construction of the village's first school house. Due to this wide involvement in commercial and civic activities, Macpherson earned the nickname 'the Laird of Napanee.' With his wife, Mary, who was the daughter of Judge Fisher of nearby Adolphustown, the cosmopolitan couple made the house a social gathering place. Sir John A. MacDonald, who was related to Macpherson's stepmother, was a frequent visitor to the house, especially after 1832, when MacDonald opened a law office in the village of Clarksville. The house remained in the Macpherson family until 1896, though Allan and Mary moved back to Kingston in 1849.
Macpherson House is a vernacular interpretation of the Neoclassical style and was one of the most substantial houses to be constructed in the County of Lennox and Addington, in the early 19th century. Built in 1826, the Macpherson House incorporates a variety of Neoclassical features, with an otherwise earlier Georgian form, exemplifying the transitional architecture of the period. While the rectangular, five-bay, symmetrical plan of the Macpherson House, with its side gable roof and lapped siding is indicative of Georgian architecture in Upper Canada, detailing characterizes the structure as Neoclassical. On the exterior, this detailing is most evident in the wide, elaborate doorways with their highly decorative sidelights of intricately patterned glazing and the fan-like transom lights. Pilasters framing the doorways survive as part of a larger casing feature or portico, which would have further distinguished the residence. Other key elements of the exterior include the moulded cornice, with returns on the end walls, and the central, tripartite windows of the second storey, which are a variant of the classical Venetian window, and mirror the sidelights below. Handsomely cased archways, windows and doors contribute to the elegance of the interior, as does the second-floor ballroom with its crown mouldings and the open staircase with its hollow newel. The dining room niche is a highly characteristic element of the Neoclassical style. The one-and-a-half storey kitchen wing, off the east end of the house, was built in the 1830s and contains a kitchen, with large cooking fireplace complete with bake oven and smoke closet. High quality limestone was easily obtainable in Napanee, and comprises the foundation of the house and the kitchen chimney base." - info from Historic Places.
"Greater Napanee is a town in southeastern Ontario, Canada, approximately 45 kilometres (28 mi) west of Kingston and the county seat of Lennox and Addington County. It is located on the eastern end of the Bay of Quinte. Greater Napanee municipality was created by amalgamating the old Town of Napanee with the townships of Adolphustown, North and South Fredericksburg, and Richmond in 1999. Greater Napanee is co-extensive with the original Lennox County.
The town is home to the Allan Macpherson House, a historic 1826 property that is now a museum. Macpherson was a major in the Lennox militia, operated the town's grist and saw mills, as well as the distillery and general store. He served as post master and land agent, operated the first local printing press and helped fund the establishment of many local schools and churches. The home sits on the banks of the Napanee River, which runs through the town.
The largest employer is a Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company passenger car tire plant (opened in 1988).
The main streets are Dundas Street (east–west) and Centre Street (north–south). Dundas Street is part of former provincial Highway #2, also known as Kingston Road, and travels through downtown from Toronto in the west and onward to Kingston in the east. Centre Street travels through the centre of the town from the modern commercial area close to Highway 401 to the downtown and onwards, as County Road 8 to Lake Ontario." - info from Wikipedia.
Late June to early July, 2024 I did my 4th major cycling tour. I cycled from Ottawa to London, Ontario on a convoluted route that passed by Niagara Falls. during this journey I cycled 1,876.26 km and took 21,413 photos. As with my other tours a major focus was old architecture.

Day is done but Transition Whatcom (Washington State) had a great 350 day event called the Perennial Project. We planted over 350 edible perennials in public places all over the county- at schools, businesses, and parks. These plants will bear food for years, especially the nut and fruit trees, and are a practical manifestation of the 350 goal to reduce carbon emissions. These are some of our fantastic edible perennial planters!
