This is how it should be done. Every media organization, government, university, research centre and brand should run their own Mastodon server. Like e-mail, built in verification, decentralized resources and in full control of their technology.

And here's the official announcement:
The entire @macstories team and media properties are now on Mastodon. We did it on our own server, which we fully control, and which anyone can follow thanks to federation.
I'm excited to own our social media presence. Long live the open web. Let's go 🚀

What kind of news outlet tells reporters not to criticize power?
suspension of Ben Collins is what I was warning about. The media I already moving to accommodate a controlling billionaire. This is what they did for Trump.

Journalism is supposed to speak truth to power, not bow to it. https://twitter.com/tasneemn/status/1603796486344658947

How books get scanned.
My dumbass always pictured an old librarian with gloves at the copy/scanning machining having to redo it over and over because it scanned crooked.

Danielle Smith wants you to “get used” to paying for public healthcare.
Do not accept this.
It’s never been clearer: public healthcare is under attack by the UCP.
Get loud, Alberta.
@juddlegum links to Mastodon are still banned too with the same BS message as yesterday.

Legacy media is complicit w/Musk shaping his narrative w/disinfo like “free speech absolutist” distracting from his creating a pro-right wing platform hostile to truth, journalism + democracy. Coverage of Musk using #euphemism like @heatherkelly gives him much needed whitewashing
a good article on this
https://perfectunion.us/schumer-freezes-antitrust-bills-after-big-tech-lobbyists-bundled-millions/
I am particularly upset about the Open App Markets Act which would break the App Store monopoly. It passed the Senate Judiciary Committee 20-2! How often something like this happens? Yet Schumer is killing it.

it looks like #bigtech have bought themselves a Senate majority leader who intends to kill a couple of bipartisan (!) bills aimed at reining in worst monopolistic practices of #Apple and #Google. EU has passed similar legislation so I am hoping US will too eventually but Schumer's obstructionism is deeply troubling.

📣 PLZ READ AND BOOST!
I've been working on #digitalrights and #techpolicy issues since right after the #SOPA blackout.
We spend most of our time trying to STOP bad legislation (think: #EarnItAct, #SESTA FOSTA, #KOSA etc)
It's *so rare* we get a chance to pass ACTUALLY GOOD legislation.
We have one of those once in a lifetime chances right now: the #BigTech #antitrust bills #AICOA and #OAMA
There is a real chance these bills make it into the #omnibus. Do the thing https://www.AntitrustVoteNow.com

Good morning to readers. Hello from Ukraine.
Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands, but a barrage of missile strikes plunged much of the city into darkness over the last twenty four hours.
Forecast calls for a low of 24 degrees F in the capital tonight.

💥Ford has freed up 3,414 hospital beds by moving elderly patients into nursing homes.
It has NOT resulted in shorter wait times for beds.
Without nursing staff, a hospital bed is merely a piece of furniture.
Problem was not elderly patients, but the lack of HCW staff.
Ford's Bill124 & lack of support has driven HCWs to leave.
P.S. 'More Beds, Better Care' Act chrgs patients $400/day for refusing to move into a home designated by the gov't.

An absolute must watch from @ImaniBarbarin again.
Hey you, people in the #infosec community who I used to work with, who follow me here. Notice how I don't follow you back? That's because you posted maskless selfies on Twitter while in Vegas this summer. Yes, even you in app sec with your own book...
"Individual risk assessment." FUCK YOU. And now there are no hospitals to help you. IDGAF if I wrote something with you.🖕🖕🖕

@ChristopherJM why are all your toots set to unlisted? this seriously limits who sees them which is a shame. is this because you are using some tools to auto mirror your twitter posts? I have noticed this happening with other people mirroring twitter posts.

New legislation enacted by Putin says Russia’s role is to rescue mankind from moral decay by promoting traditional values. My @WSJ@twitter.com essay on Putin’s quest for an ideological cover for his imperialist war on Ukraine. https://www.wsj.com/articles/putins-new-strategy-laying-claim-to-traditional-values-11671253263?st=xvqsaz5y17pg321&reflink=share_mobilewebshare
@irgarner fully agree. but why are all your toots set to unlisted? this severely limits who sees them even when someone boosts them.
