Oh, good. It's gone!

The interesting this is that when you visit the page, it briefly appears and then disappears ; it looks like they build some sort of coding hack to make it simply not show.

Can anyone recommend good network manager that will allow me to monitor and restrict the internet to my kids devices? Time limits, filters, etc

Democrats would be smart to run on this instead of on inscrutable "enhanced background checks and waiting periods" or whatever. "we will ban the AR-15" is a winning message.

So the Canadian CBC/Radio Canada is 'pausing' Twitter.

They need to understand Mastodon. They need to architect a presence here. They need to get their heads into how this place is different, can be used to reach out to Canadians, and be used as a tool for growth in their programming and mission.

I appeared on the network, literally hundreds of times, explaining the importance of the unfolding Internet ... on radio shows, TV shows. I'm probably in the archives with all these shows.

Here I am in November 1993 explaining to two hosts of a popular Toronto CBC show what was unfolding.

I no longer have contacts there, but if anyone does - they need to hear this story again.

Peter Mansbridge would think this was a good idea.

Seems important. And testable. https://mastodon.nl/@vickyvdtogt/110196805189572082

Yesterday, as his latest story on #ClarenceThomas was breaking, ProPublica's @elliottjustin answered a flood of questions in a fortuitously timed Reddit AMA. (Seriously, we did not plan for these two things to coincide!)

The question window is closed but you can still see all his responses here:

My book, The Hroswitha Club and the Impact of Women Book Collectors, is e-published today! This book was my grounding project in the pandemic, and its greatest contribution (imho) is naming 100+ women book collectors, most of which are not named in other resources on the topic.

I wrote this book bc the Wikipedia page was marked for deletion in 2019. Now that this is out, I'm spending tomorrow rewriting the entire page. Finally.

I think this may be the best explanation of how Mastodon works that I've seen in my 5 months of being here.

I've been busy doing cool stuff so I didn't see the #NPR thing until now. NPR should just stay off of all social media and all other news agencies should do the same. They should all build a good system of RSS feeds. Then social media platforms should build a system that allows users to easily get those feeds into their timelines. Or we should all go back to RSS.

Sorry, but #TheMandalorian is the best show on television. I have spoken. 😎

Every 5-4 SC decision in which Thomas has been in the majority needs to be seen as a bought-and-paid for act of corruption. I doubt there was ever anything as crude as an explicit yacht-ride-for-ruling quid pro quo, but Thomas opened himself up to improper influence and every one of his decisions is correspondingly tainted.

I’m guessing he’s not the only one so compromised, but that’s for a different day.

There’s a lot to unpack legally around the Trump indictment. Today, I zoom out to discuss three big themes that emerge, in my ongoing quest to help make sense of it all. It does get a bit complicated legally, but that’s where I think I can help explain! https://statuskuo.substack.com/p/breaking-down-the-indictment?sd=pf

Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Washington) has introduced a bill that would end corporate personhood with the goal of reversing #citizensunited

Thank you,
thank you, thank you @RepJayapal
We should keep pushing this until it is impossible to ignore.

I'm four episodes in, but I'm LOVING #WeAreLadyparts on #peacock. It's about a Muslim punk band trying to get famous, but the characters are lovable and it really draws you into their stories. If you enjoyed #CrazyExGirlfriend or #msMarvel, I think you'll really like this show. 👍
