Has anyone ever used a Tablo DVR or similar device with an over-the-air antenna?

Does anyone have any advice on which device to buy? Still looking for more ways to watch programming without cable. My husband watches sports, and I'd like more of PBS Create content I can't get with cable or YouTube TV. I also have Acorn TV and Britbox, and have PBS Passport, too. I understand you don't need a monthly contract with the new Tablo DVR. Thanks in advance for your help!

Posted on Bluesky by Pets Against Trump About Trump's Gold decorations!


Laughed myself sick! Real gold, huh?! Also went to Home Depot to verify that you can buy these mouldings and it's real!
Someone is really busy with arts and crafts in the White House!

Anyone interested in the appointment of Andrew Bailey to the FBI, this is a good discussion.

Will Westmoreland has Andrew Bailey's Democratic opponent for Missouri Attorney General on his channel to discuss a lot of Bailey's corruption as Missouri's AG. Elad Gross was the Democratic candidate that should have won the election. Elad Gross would have been competent, he is a man of integrity, and would have really helped Missourians get justice. It is a long video, but it tells you who Andrew Bailey really is. Well worth watching despite the length.

Is it okay to post another member's GoFundMe link here?

Don't want to break any rules.

My son shared this with me, and I found it fascinating!

This video is about how the sewing machine was invented. I found most of the same facts on Wikipedia, so it appears that this guy is on the level. I hope you enjoy this video as much as I did--I just love videos about how things work!

Loved this! It made me smile...

Idaho video store closes after 30 years, but one customer's routine lives on:


Hope it brings you a smile, too!

Went to the Manchester Road protest in St. Louis today.

Sorry about the faux news link, but you can see my hands holding a "Hands Off Libraries" sign (#6/12) in this group of pictures. I had layers of clothes, a jacket and a poncho on, so I couldn't lift my arms very high. You can't see my face, I'm covered by the sign! My chance to be in the news, and no closeup! I had a great time despite the very cold, (49 degrees,) and damp weather. We lined up on the sidewalk with our signs, chanted, and waved at cars. I was there from 10:30am till 1:00pm. It rained pretty much the whole time. Pretty miserable weather. Most cars honked and/or waved in support, but there were a couple of coal rollers and a few hecklers. There were a few cars that had their own signs for a drive by protest. We guesstimated about a mile long line of protesters. My son made our signs, double sided so we could each protest two topics, mine were schools and social security. My son made extra signs and we gave them to one of the hosts for people to use. We used a large 2.5 gallon hefty storage bag to protect each sign from the rain, (put them in upside down and that worked a treat!) They can be reused for other protests. He glued the signs on cardboard and that worked very well, too. So for newbies our little group did pretty well! Looking forward to going to our next one!

Update: Just noticed the video, and guess what--my face was still covered! But the Hands Off library sign looked good!

2nd Update: Just found a post on Bluesky that said original protester count was 1468, then an additional 600+ showed up! Proud of my fellow St. Louisans. There were several other locations in St. Louis area, too. Does this old heart good to know that even in deep red Missouri people know this administration needs to go. Gave me a big boost mentally and spiritually today! Thank you to everyone all over the country and the world that are standing up to Trump!

is it okay to show up for the Hands Off protest without signing up?

If I tell other people about this and they show up there is that okay? Or should they sign up?
