Did you know that Biden signed 65 pieces of legislation into law this week? If you didn’t, it’s worth asking why the media you listen to didn’t tell you that. #politics #media #bidenwins
@flexghost @TomWellborn@universeodon.com Yes. I just cited it because of the bit about Tupperware (a known MLM) and thought that was relevant.
The first list is much more up-to-date

I found a survey of company activities in Russia. A *lot* of the ones still there are not US-based.

Based on the handful of MLMs in this article it sounds like many of those still have paying suckers ... I mean representatives selling their stuff there.

@TomWellborn@universeodon.com
Some of those companies are MLMs. Maybe that complicates enforcement?
Many of the others are based outside of the US IIRC...which AFAIK could complicate things as well.

Mörkopoly [Early Access] by NeonoN
"MÖRKOPOLY is the first ever attempt at a MÖRK BORG borrgame, set in the indie darling's own unique setting - the Dying World. Players will assume the roles of its unfortunate denizens, travelling through the grim and perilous land, not to buy property or erect housing projects, but to simply survive the longest."
#MorkBorg #Monopoly what's not to love/ loathe entirely?
The cute lil goblin is staring into my soul!

“The road forward will be paved with sociopaths and sociopathy. It could be decades before this cancer is removed from the body politic. In the now, we will face more death, destruction and terrorism because of this shameless servitude to [getting and] keeping power, democracy be dammed.” https://america.substack.com/p/the-sociopathy-of-greg-abbott-redux

@atomicpoet Granted, I still think Twitter is going to die very soon, so unlike with YouTube alternatives, I don't see this being the status quo for very long.
@atomicpoet A lot of people are for now to be honest.
I've seen a similar effect with alternative platforms for YouTube.
Literature escaping the clutches of copyright should be celebrated more often. Better yet, let’s shorten the length of copyright. It’s honestly absurdly and unjustifiably long.
@matthewbest What the fuck...
Holy shit

A Texas jail volunteered to let Comedy Central comedian Jeff Ross roast its inmates. It encouraged inmates to participate. Texas then used the footage to sentence my client, Gabriel Hall, to death.
We’re asking #SCOTUS to review the constitutionality of Mr. Hall’s sentence.

I wonder who created it and why they thought a blocklist that long and that broad was a good idea
Still two slots open for my introduction to #mastodon class tomorrow.
