@mastodonmigration @davidaugust are all of these methods reliant on the contacts leaving a Mastodon address in their 
profile? If they didn’t, but have reused their name or handle in their Mastodon account, is it able to scan for that?

The overlooked fungus "fomen fomentarius" has incredible properties that can be used to develop strong, ultralight materials.

The world is an infinitely better place when adults remember what it’s like to be children.
@PStyleOne1 these are the people that so many are terrified are going to cause a nuclear war? They probably have fewer actually functional nukes than North Korea.
@Wob0 @darkuncle @Wob0 @darkuncle I had the same question! Digging through the links: no, it really goes from 40 to 32. So it’s a more productive 32 hours, which might not mean that it exceeds the output of a 40 hour week— except that they also claimed that company revenue is way up, which means that less really is more!
But we learned about a similar win-win with WFH, yet most companies turned their backs on it anyway.
I thought this was HAD to be parody until I looked it up, and indeed, it’s being reported everywhere.

Long thread/21
If you want a small government, you need small corporations - need to block the anticompetitive mergers and predatory conduct that lets companies grow so large that they can fit their regulators into the little change pocket in their blue-jeans.

@toxtethogrady @kissane what’s showing up on a poll is their resentment of Weather Channel feature programs frequently mentioning climate change. “How to Survive Extreme Flash Floods! … which will be a growing danger in this age of increasing dangerous storms from a warming globe. Scientists predict that by 2040…” etc. Their lineup has a lot more than just the regular forecast.
(I dated a guy who watched a lot of WC shows for fun.)

Maybe I’ve overlooked analysis on this, but it seems like media commentators and the center-left press are missing something critical about the revelations of Fox News’s duplicity, which is that a ton (most, I suspect) of GOP viewers already believe that this is how all mainstream media works.
They already believe that all big media orgs intentionally distort the truth. Nearly half of Republican viewers don’t even trust the Weather Channel.

It is a very careful, limited statement. Mild pushback. But Tucker Carlson felt panic over it, and demanded her head.
This kind of behavior exposes a weakness for Fox.
Keepers of a resentment machine— for that is what Fox is — may suddenly find the resentment coming straight for them. 5/

Beinart notes that "there was a remarkably kind of, I would say, condescending and dismissive response to him. So, he was thrown under the bus by leading members of his own Democratic party."
This is true. And it had a lot to do with the fact that Jimmy Carter is a Southerner, a white Southerner who is not easy to pigeonhole as a stereotypical racist bigot, who was dismissed by the "liberal" establishment soley due to his cultural origins.

@wdlindsy deeply religious, too. His faith wasn’t a checkmark that could be discreetly stored away until needed; it shone through his whole life.
@gregpak I’ve heard several people call the chatbot “spicy autocorrect.”
