I wish my progressive brethren of all stripes could learn to stop getting mad and start getting even.
I’m now following 420 people. Smoke break.
I have question. Remember in the 70s, when that commercial showed the Chippewa chief in tears? Was he crying over what white man had done to his river - or was it because he thought he wouldn't live long enough to see a Ceasars sportsbook built on his ancestoral land?

This is only the tip of the iceberg.
It's 1993. The Internet has just entered public conciousness. The next 2 years see WILD growth.
It's 2023. Same thing. This is going to be WILD.

The man who chased US Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman up flights of stairs near the Senate chamber on January 6, 2021, has been sentenced to 60 months behind bars. Via CNN.
If you want your user interface to look like Twitter, go into preferences and check enable advanced web interface. Remember to hit save changes.
This didn't age well. Looks like what is useful to Mastodon will be coming here on it's own.
If you find the notifications annoying you can turn them off. You might need to disable advanced web interface to get to "Notifications"
I still have that Pavlovian reflex honed by years of Catholic adjacency that makes me almost feel sorry for Trump and Musk because they are such damaged people.

It seems fitting that right when the entire crypto house of cards is burning in the dumpster, Trump comes out with NFT’s. The best bullshit application of Blockchain bullshit invented yet. Trump university anyone? 🙄

We’ve been sold the “great man” for well over a century. Alone. Resolute. One of those did not ignite fusion for the 1st time last week. Our western myths gloss over that the first transcontinental railroad was financed and subsidized by federal and state governments. We forget westward expansion was fueled by the Homestead Act (free land). Rural electrification, the Central Valley Project, etc. Sorry, Randians, sorry Republicans, that was public investment. https://digbysblog.net/2022/12/14/america-believes-in-investment/
Maybe we should just think of Twitter as an instance in the Fediverse and port what’s useful to Mastodon and leave the Nazis to themselves.

Rhode Island District Court denies a preliminary injunction against large capacity magazine ban finding that they are not "arms" within the plain text of the Second Amendment. Even if they were the court says that plaintiffs have failed to prove they are weapons relating to self defense. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.rid.53873/gov.uscourts.rid.53873.37.0.pdf

If a venture capital made no attempt to monetize the Internet, I’m not sure we would have the Internet we have today. It had to centralize before it decentralized or it would never be viable. The exciting thing is that the walled gardens we live in have outgrown their usefulness and only occupy a few square inches of the vast real estate that is the Internet. I think we’re at the beginning of a new land rush, and we don’t quite know what to call it yet. Maybe we should be thanking Elon Musk?
I’d really love to see Morocco win today because, well, France. Just sayin’.

Mastodon feels a little like the alternative I was fantasizing about in this 2019 comic.
