@brianbeutler i’ve always thought that about Presbyterians. I mean, who the fuck came up with that name for a religion?
@scottjshapiro I strongly oppose Trump’s suggestion to eat the Constitution but will vote for him if he leaves off the ketchup.
@GryphonSK Proof that Jesus was, in fact, a Christian! QED!
@rachelshelden @jbf1755 I’m beginning to fear that filing an amicus brief with the SCOTUS is like trying to convince your red state uncle to get vaccinated.
#adtech Facebook and Twitter boil down to really just being server farms with billboards. Gotta have infrastructure or they just don't operate. The #fediverse is incredible, but the beast will need to be fed, so to speak. The interface that Facebook or Twitter provide is really not much more than what Mastodon has, but they host the servers and they (ehem) do content moderation; what all of us want and expect. My prediction is that we will have a two-tiered, federated model where you can choose to pay to host or be hosted on a federated server, or you can join an ad driven server with your federated based avatar free of charge.
For #AcademicToots #AcademicMastodon I’m wondering if universities established dot edu masto instances that we adopted, this could supplant paid #BlueCheck #BlueTick verifications as a de facto employer verification in the #Fediverse, at least for our sector.

@Teri_Kanefield I’m sure prominent Republicans are preparing their strongly worded statements of condemnation for the next news cycle.
#WhoGoesNazi read this piece, written by the first female journalist to be expelled from Nazi Germany, #DorothyThompson she sets the reader up at a gala. Each person we meet is a letter of the alphabet. Which letter would you be most similar to? Your neighbor? Brother? Auntie? (Ps. I don’t know who shared it first, but thank you. It is so helpful to understand the human nature, & background that helps create the #Nazi).

I actually think, maybe, they are trying to commandeer it.
The picture is hilarious!

Legit question: When is it finally time to walk away, no matter what it says about "ceding ground." Because if the Daily Stormer aint it what is? If you're still there (I am) whats the line?
