Essentially, the #ChaosCaucus wants the #HouseOfRepresentatives to perform the same transformation as #Twitter is undergoing right now.

They could be explicit about it, and vote for #ElonMusk for #speaker

Perhaps they could legislate through online polls? Fire most of the congressional staffers?

The object of #power is power.

The result of #pandering is more pandering.

14. Politics doesn’t come and go. It isn’t arbitrary. It’s our natural state. Wherever there are human beings who organize themselves according to agreements made over relationships of power and interest, as well as demands for limited resources, there’s politics.

Okay,I just figured out why #DonaldTrump endorsed #McCarthy over #Donalds for #Speakerofthehouse overnight.

There can be only one Donald.

I think the whole controversy is dumb. The problem with quote tweets is the people, not the tech.

Further, quote toots are essential for conversation. I can’t wait.

I am 100% not shitting you when I say scientists named mastodons after their teeth which they thought looked like nipples. “Mastos” as in breast. “odont” as in tooth.
We’re on a website that, in Greek, literally means “Booby Tooth.”

For me at least, getting onto @Mastodon and appreciating the structure of the platform and the tone of conversation has made these other pop-up social networks (Twitter replacements) totally unattractive. No, I don’t want to move up on a wait list by “referring 5 friends”; no, I don’t want to be part of another Jack Dorsey project; no, I don’t want to be part of something with weird completely top-down control. Mastodon broke me for other platforms.

#NewYorkers! The state legislature has passed landmark #RightToRepair legislation, but Governor Hochul hasn't signed it and it might die. This would be a travesty. If you're in New York, visit https://eff.org/rtr to help tell the Governor that we can't afford to wait (and tell your friends in New York, too!).
