The Mark Meadows' texts with 34 Republicans re: overturning the 2020 election are a disturbing, hilarious, semi-literate, all-caps shrieking, hot mess. Yes, trying to overthrow an election is serious. But these bootlicking, keyboard-abusing Republicans are comedy gold. Hats off to Talking Points Memo for exposing this toxic drivel. Now, if Merrick Garland would just indict someone.
So #Twitter has announced that Twitter Blue suckers can now upload videos up to an hour in length (up from 10 minutes). Given their almost nonexistent content moderation now, what could go wrong?

I got my hands on a 37-page guide for Kyrsten Sinema’s staff
Aides weren’t only expected to get her groceries and fix her internet but follow a… very detailed set of instructions about where to seat her on an airplane.
Lots more here:

Banning abortion has serious economic consequences.
The #TurnawayStudy shows that women who are denied abortions are less likely to have enough money to cover expenses like food, housing, and transportation even years later.
There's a "Share on Mastodon" button for Chrome now!
We're big time now. Bravo #Mastodon

NOTICE: CAMBRIAN EXPLOSION AHEAD
If Mastodon fails to innovate past where it is today, it is ok. We can migrate to new things without losing our social graph.
There are multiple variants of fediverse social media systems that are in the works and are API compatible with Mastodon.
This whole big messy business can grow and extend just like body morphology in the Cambrian explosion.

It's implemented, but not automatic : you have to tap the icon (circled in yellow in my screenshot) to switch to remote view. As I understand it, it uses the public (non authenticated) API to fetch the thread directly from the server on which it originated. @apps
House passes bill requiring presidential tax audits after revelation Trump skirted scrutiny
The legislation, titled the Presidential Tax Filings and Audit Transparency Act, passed in a 222-201 vote. 5 Republicans joined Democrats in supporting it
The #OmnibusBill passed & I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank ALL the amazing staffers in the US Congress. I have had the opportunity to get to know them these last 5 1/2 years. Thank YOU for pouring your blood, sweat & tears into your job. WE appreciate you!🙏
Elon totally not caring at all about Mastodon
@jpanzer He's definitely insecure about people leaving for an alternative.
Also that putdown of his is predictably childish.
Comcast Xfinity customers report their accounts being hacked in widespread attacks that bypass two-factor authentication. These compromised accounts are then used to reset passwords for other services, such as the Coinbase and Gemini crypto exchanges.
So, I'm finding out the hard way that if you start a new Mastodon server, nobody can find you.
This is a shameless request for some boosts so some of the bigger instances see me.
