Elon Musk thinks all these companies are so desperate to tweet, but the truth is for most publishers and corporate accounts, Twitter is not a source of any major traffic. No company I’ve ever worked for for literally anything from Twitter but networking and it’s not great at networking. It’s a smoking section in 2023

So, a Federal judge has the power to "outlaw" any drug on the market now? Like Chemo drugs? Immunotherapy? Can a Federal judge decide to outlaw any FDA approved drugs or devices? Heart valves? Hip replacements? Gamma laser therapy? etc. etc.?? Whatever they feel is not of "God"? That's a lot of misplaced power in the hands of uninformed, uneducated and backward voodoo believing idiots (no other word).

It took a lot of people almost 20 years to build Twitter up to this point, so it takes a little while for Elon Musk to wreck it. But he’s making real progress.
It’s kind of telling that we’re not hearing about the backers of his Twitter loans speaking up, because his behavior is about as bizarre as I’ve ever seen; he’s just tossing wads of money into a flaming garbage dumpster. It almost seems like he’s doing what the backers expected/wanted him to do.

👋 Hello #fediverse! I'm going into a meeting at 4ET to talk about our newsroom's social media options.
If you think our station and other NPR stations should have a Mastodon server and a broader presence in the #fediverse, pls boost this post. If you have thoughts, please reply, I want to hear them!
No word on whether NPR will migrate to Mastodon. But I’m happy to continue pushing colleagues to come on over. Who would you like to see most?
@StillIRise1963 we have to hold the corporations in FLORIDA responsible for funding DeSantis shit show. Stop the funding. Stop the hate. #DeSantisIsANazi

Okay fine. Fans of #NPR on the Fediverse, I have temporarily put up a "bot" which toots out the news stories posted to NPR.org as they are posted (within 5 minutes). It's at @npr_bot If you're NPR, you can have this account anytime you join us here on the Fediverse... stopgap until you are here with us! (NOTE: This is NOT the same as the bots out there, which post from Twitter; this is direct from the NPR RSS feed). #news #bot

In fact, few of his companies ever turned a profit - and often via gov contracts and subsidies.
This makes me happy. Clean Air Club is a Chicago group promoting covid-safe music events (live music fans everywere please replicate this):"If an event or a venue has the Clean Air Club badge, it means that the space (including green rooms and backstage where possible) has at least one HEPA air purifier running to reduce the number of airborne pathogens in the room" https://cleanairclub.org/about (link snagged rom the "Musicians" group at #CovidMeetups.com ) #CovidIsNotOver

I'm hoping this is just the beginning.
"The Public Broadcasting Service has followed National Public Radio in quitting Twitter after the social media network labeled both organizations as government-backed media."
Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)

Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
