Very proud to announce my new casebook: Oath Keeper Law (5th Sedition).
@QasimRashid Oh my. That would be me right there in 1968. If I were you, I'd be elated, but that's me.
@ai6yr They existed before the Twitter debacle. You can find just about everything under the sun here if you look for it.
Nice thing about Mastodon is you don't "report" and hope some Facebook employee in Bangladesh eventually does something about it. You can act.
@lauren 1974 ??? That's, uh, wow. The word weird isn't quite adequate.
Now we know where Bush got his pipes and tubes model of the Internet, all made of aluminum foil. Who knew?

@Some_Emo_Chick "Russia is regularly attacking Ukraine’s power grid with hopes that without electricity Ukrainians are more likely to accept unfavorable negotiation conditions put on the table by the Kremlin."
Nah, I think we're long past that stage. At this point the Russians are simply trying to do as much damage as possible.
A democratic country full of productive happy people with a booming economy right on their southern border makes Russia look really bad. Especially when that country used to be part of the Russian Empire.

My 87 year old parents just called me extremely distressed. They told me to remain calm and proceeded to tell me that my son called crying saying he was in jail. He said he'd hit a pregnant woman with his car and needed bail money. An attorney then called with details saying he would need $7,500.00 to be released. It was a SCAM. I'd just talked to my son. They would have paid except for the fact that I have their bank cards. Please be careful out there.
Here's a little #Christmas tale for you. My father-in-law is a #rockabilly icon. (Not hyperbole, he actually is.) His name is Larry Collins, he and his sister Lorrie were known as The Collins Kids and they were rockabilly pioneers. He was the second person EVER to own and play a double-neck #guitar and it's his signature instrument. I'm telling you this so I can easily explain that he has many guitars and ALL of them are custom... 1/5
@panamared27401 @colorblindcowboy @davidvienna Yeah, multi-neck is very useful if you're playing certain tunes live. Jimmy has at least one triple where the top instrument is a mandolin.
@ai6yr Most vehicles here in West Virginia wouldn't even notice that. High ground clearance vehicles outnumber cars because of the nature of the roads and frequent need to ford deep water. On the other hand, there's no such thing as a bus lane either.
@welshpixie Family name?
RED ALERT, please boost! We got word this morning that Senate leadership has cut a deal to include #JCPA in the must-pass #NDAA.
This is a terrible, Rupert Murdoch backed bill that essentially creates a "link tax" and would make Big Tech and big media cartels even more intertwined. AND, apparently what Schumer "traded" for it was ... the vaccine mandate for the US military. I kid you not.
@team has a contact-congress tool here, please contact your Senators!

@olavf What a different experience back on Twitter for each of us! Wonder why. Maybe because I was so active on it for the last 3-4 years and had amassed the "right number" of follows/followers?
