@leonivek Lmao. That's what I thought.

Why do we need 51 senators rather than 50? Because right now at 50/50 every committee has a tie. Moving anything out of committee requires a superhuman effort. If Dems win a 51st seat, they'll have committee majorities.
The Georgia runoff MATTERS.
Re-electing Warnock MATTERS.

55 years ago #today Jocelyn Bell discovered the first known pulsar -- a star the size of a city, spinning once a second, whipping up intense radio signals that sounded like the beep-beep-beep of an alien signal.

@smooheed Well, that would be a shocker here in West Virginia. Of course, you won't fit in then.
Curious question: Does anyone here use the Joe editor or am I the only weirdo that loves it?

RT @RealSexyCyborg@twitter.com
@zeta2099@twitter.com Funny you should ask, they've stopped "burning crosses" on people's lawns for environmental reasons. They now employ inclusive and reusable crosses made from 100% recycled materials with rainbow LED "fire" and a speaker that says "Your kind ain't welcome here" in 8 languages.

@SexyCyborg I came here for this!
@tw Thank you! I've noted the link.
@jrosen707@toad.social That would be okay. Sometimes I've typed in camel case and when I do a quick proof before hitting Toot I notice they've changed to lower case. Exactly how and when that happens I'm not sure.
What do now is recheck and fix the hashtags immediately before hitting Toot and they "stick".
@EricFielding Sorry for the delay in responding. I'm using the web interface.
@oliphant Very good. Since people are discussing it on Github, the Mastodon devs will likely become aware of the problem. Thanks for the tip!

Risks to Mastodon with increasing popularity
Interesting comment on Hackernews regarding a possible scenario/long term risk should Mastodon threaten the corporate sphere of social media.
I'm not sure where to report suggestions or problematic behaviors to the Mastodon development team.
This one is an intentional behavior, not a bug.
To help those who use screen readers, we are suggesting to newcomers that they use #CamelCase on hashtags so that screen readers read the text correctly. However, Mastodon's post compose window often changes camel case hashtags to all lower case. It seems to do this if the hashtag is a popular one.
It might be good to leave hashtags alone, as written by the user, instead of overriding with what Mastodon thinks the user meant to type.

I don't care; hate speech is not free speech.
@rbreich Herschel Walker is talking about himself here.

In a social media post, Trump admits taking (highly classified) documents "openly and transparently."
@ai6yr And since it's new, those are probably all active users.
@Some_Emo_Chick I dunno. All the election deniers I know are absolutely convinced that elections are rigged by the Democrats. They've been fed this every day for years by the right-wing news outlets they listen to, so it's clearly a fact to them.
@ai6yr And their machine eats a pound of paper in five seconds or less
