@w7voa he is a laughing stock… I’ve seen optical coatings with more thickness than his skin.

In a posthumously published book, former Japanese leader Shinzo Abe said he pushed then-President Donald Trump to take a stronger stand on North Korea but found Trump weak and overly eager for a deal. https://www.wsj.com/articles/shinzo-abe-book-criticizes-trump-as-weak-on-north-korea-11675927659?reflink=share_mobilewebshare

For several reporters banned by #Twitter, the only place to hear their stories is #Mastodon. https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/reporters-on-twitter-are-still-locked-out-how-to-find-them-on-mastodon/

@w7voa loving your commentary here, Steve 👍

@w7voa . Steve, thanks. I’m succeeding in getting all my news on mastodon today thanks for to folks like you. No ads.
Now…. Who's paying your salaries? I can’t see the forest configuration yet.

@w7voa thanks for the thread on this!

@velshi All of this noise makes me seriously consider getting back into the classroom. I used to work with grades pre-K thru 2 and it seems dedicated teachers who are willing to resist this craziness are very much needed!

This is a shameless plea to boost this appeal for more followers. I know I might not replicate the 115k follower count on my “permanently suspended” #Twitter account where I’ve posted for 14 years. Engagement is already much better here and so far it’s devoid of trolls. Your feedback to my polls here clearly show a desire for me to actively post news and 95% say I shouldn’t take down my @elonjet tweets as demanded by the other platform for my account to be reinstated there.
