Those “Twitter Files” are a big ol’ nothingburger served up by an atrocity revisionist.

@willpasswrites Welcome! I’ve been here 3 weeks so I’m a veteran (ha!). Use hashtags to find posts that interest you. Obviously #bookstodon for you (or @bookstodon…still don’t know when to use @ vs #). Follow nice, funny, helpful, interesting people so your feed gets fun. Tack #newbie, #TwitterRefugee & similar hashtags onto your posts if you need help. Use at least 1-2 good hashtags on posts so ppl find them. Boost, like, or respond to cool posts. Good luck!

The roomba knocked over the upright vacuum and I can’t help but think it was personal

So far I feel as though Mastodon is giving me 70% or 80% of what I liked about Twitter and pretty close to 0% of what I didn’t like.

Being a chef? Well, it’s a hard life, but truly rewarding. It’s about your palate. It’s about science. It’s about technique. But most importantly? It’s about love.

@kyleejohnson the media has been reposting what Elon says, without fact checking for decades… But now that public opinion has turned, they really need to stop being an arm of his PR department

Do you want to know how serious the Supreme Court taking away our democracy via Moore v. Harper is?

look at all the right wing replies trolling. Telling you America isn’t a democracy

A representative democracy and a constitutional republic *are* each a democracy – this is their go-to bad faith argument when they are trying to strip us of our rights.

i started this account just so i could steal my own tweets and turn them into toots before anyone else

So, if you ignore the comical and distracting stories coming out of Musk, Taibbi and the leaked Twitter e-mails, there's yet another lesson to be learned. You cannot trust entities to guard your privacy. A butt hurt CEO just leaked a number of private communications that they bought for ego and hype purposes. Think Musk will respect the privacy of your DMs? #encrypt!

So wait... the standard-bearer of the Republican Party has called for the "termination" of the Constitution, but it's progressives who don't believe in the rule of law?

Trump saying that the Constitution must be terminated so he can be reinstated as president is the most authoritarian thing ever said by an American political candidate. STOP calling today’s GOP ‘conservative.’ They are fascists. https://youtu.be/-yrD9gbsJiE

Stop linking back to twitter. Encourage people to actively cross post build their own community here.

Here's what I see so many people missing about the #hunterbiden story.

People say "the government" was not involved in suppressing the story. So it wasn't about "free speech." That's correct.

Here's the thing. The Trump administration WAS THE GOVERNMENT. The government was involved in SPREADING the smear and the dick picks from the stolen laptop (and whatever had been ADDED by who-knows-who.)

It's the tactic of accusing the other side of what you're doing: government abusing its power.

I came out of #retirement as a general #pediatrician 2 weeks ago on a part-time basis to help my former partners deal with the overwhelming influx of sick kids.

In my 30 years of practice I have never seen it so bad this early in the #respiratory season. Lots of #influenza, #RSV, #COVID being spread around.

When you see long lines at a polling place, remember that it is a policy choice, not an inherent condition.

Have to agree with Garak here, all exploted workers should #strike, if the withdrawal of their labour disrupts the "economy" then clearly their contribution is important and their demands should be heard.

I have great respect for people who condemn and reject nazis.

Growing up, my family had Jewish friends. One in particular survived being in a concentration camp.
She told us what the nazis did to the Jewish people, and other minorities. I still remember listening to her stories.
There is nothing redeeming about a nazi.
There is nothing redeeming about a nazi sympathizer.
Nazis are pure evil.
Reject and condemn their ideology. It’s the moral thing to do. It’s not difficult.

Smart little bird.. 👌

The Iran regime is using the “abolishment” of morality police as an attempt to quell protests. It’s a token change, and not enough.
