Rupert Murdoch and Tim Cook are giving money to Elon Musk. Do you want to give them money?

Happy Holidays peeps! Knowing how delightfully nerdy your all are, I hope you get the gift that you truly wanted which is either:

1) Something to do with knitting 🧶 sewing 🧵 or crafting
2) A board 🀄 / card ♣️ / video game 👾 or D&D tchotchke 🐉
3) A specialty tool 🧰 that no average person would know how to use
4) a year long subscription to an anime streaming site
5) alcohol 🥃
6) a wearable blanket 😴

Wising you Peace, blessings and magic super powers!

For Christmas I present to you all, one basket of void! #christmas #CatsOfMastodon #cat

"Happy holidays to you all, however you celebrate... or don’t.

We are some of the lucky ones this year, with a roof over our heads, food on the table, and family and friends close to hand. We are blessed.

But it has not always been this way.

For those struggling this holiday season, a reminder, if it helps, that Christmas marks the time when the light starts to come back."

@futurebird @manolo_ssa no, I meant big ones like Mastodon.social. once a server gets over 5k~ish intimacy and community are lost. Iirc a human can keep around 500 ppl in their head max.

So in general small to medium sized instances are best for most people. there is no real difference communication-wise. There are several softwares that have their features but can still talk to everyone else. That's kinda the intent of the Fediverse ~ SM shouldn't be controlled by one person 1/2

Happy Birthday Isaac Newton!

@rodhilton Fortunately for the astronauts that depend on SpaceX rockets to carry them to and from the International Space Station, the SpaceX company is run by President and Chief Operating Officer Gwynne Shotwell who leads an excellent team of engineers. The loudmouth CEO has little to do with the day-to-day design and building of the rockets.

@tusk81 As a Texan, the whole thing is repugnant, but this is a whole new level. Fuck Greg Abbott.

CNN is reporting that two busloads of migrants, including children, were dumped in front of Vice President Harris’ residence tonight. During this freezing cold weather.

Texas’ Greg Abbott has been doing this for some time as a political stunt, but it’s not yet confirmed who is behind tonight’s busing, happening on Christmas Eve.

Like DACA recipient Astrid Silva tweeted, evil doesn’t rest.

Christmas day would be the perfect day for the FBI to knock on Trump's door!! Would be such a beautiful Christmas present!!

Comments on @zoeschiffer's news:

1. Right now, the problem with Twitter is Elon Musk's silly moderation and political posturing. But soon it will be stability -- and when Twitter stops working, that's when the *real* #TwitterMigration happens.

2. Auctioning off Twitter usernames is *so* desperate!

3. If Apple or the FTC shuts down Twitter access, Twitter users really will have to migrate -- they'll have no choice!

We really need to start planning for these eventualities!

Navy SEALs sympathetic to Trump were planning to block Biden’s inauguration

Secret Service deleted Jan 6 texts & failed to warn Pelosi & Pence

FBI admitted many of its agents sided with the Jan 6 terrorists

There are traitors in our midst

EVERY SINGLE 1 of them must be purged

The reason Mastodon and the Fediverse is spread out on so many servers is it protects it from being taken over by anyone. Not even the richest can buy this place.

Centralised services like Twitter are incredibly easy to buy out. If you move from Twitter to another centralised service, sooner or later that will get bought out too.

The point of the Fediverse is to break this buyout cycle, to let people be permanently in control of their accounts. More info here:

And to all a good night. Merry Christmas! 🎄✨

AMAZING RARE sighting of massive phantom jellyfish. These jellies can grow to an astonishing 10 metres (33 ft) in length! This giant was spotted 990m (3,200 ft) below the surface off the California coast.
