Hannity Says He Didn’t Believe Election Lies Despite Pushing Them on His Show

https://truthout.org/articles/hannity-says-he-didnt-believe-election-lies-despite-pushing-them-on-his-show/

Few places are more silent & peaceful than a Firewatch tower outside of fire season.

I followed this tutorial (https://youtu.be/YXqe6TaBRng) to make this picture. I use #Krita and this is an Infinite Painter tutorial so the brushes & palette are a bit different.

The guy who wants to put neurolinks in our heads worries about people knowing where he is.

Elon spends so much time on Twitter, how does he get any actual work done? Doesn’t he own a couple of other companies that need his attention or nah?

They should call themselves “alfalfa males” because everything about them is pretty much eventually horseshit.

I have a thick skin. I’m not unaccustomed to attacks. And I surely don’t mind reasonable people raising opposing views. But the bird app has been swamped with MAGA Republicans determined to drive away progressives with false narratives and ad hominem attack. A dispiriting display of the human condition and a waste of time. Alas.

Oh and Masto is absolutely hitting the spot for me. I like how it’s not self-hating also. Tweets and now toots are not reducible to the diseased firings of glitchy minds. I get that some people don’t like it but whenever they say it’s trivial or evil I think “keep telling yourself that Ill be here reading a thread by @jbf1755 or @AshaRangappa ”

Let’s try this again. Where you at #fediverse? Boosts welcome so we can get the best sample size.

Lots of folks asking me “can’t the admin see your DMs on Mastodon?” Yes. Use this site like every single thing you do or say is public, which isn’t much more different than how you should use other non encrypted platforms where engineers/admin employees working on the platform can see your personal messages. Treat all communication here like it’s on a public forum, then take it to encrypted comms for private conversations.

If you want to wrap a website as a native desktop app, look no further than Tauri.app:

About that "red wave" and "red tsunami" the right-leaning traditional corporate media outlets have been hyping for weeks ... it's looking more and more like a #redtrickle #Fediverse

It's still early tonight and we've got a long way to go. But, it is certainly not a night Republicans & their fascist base was hoping for.

Enjoy these screenshots w deep gratitude to volunteers, organizers and ofc voters. #democracy #Fediverse

What a night for democracy and the Democrats!

Tell me what you think of this piece.

Elon melting down on Twitter because of me and…Valerie Bertinelli. 😂 #FreeKathy is trending on Twitter. 😆😆😆

So I've been looking into moving from one instance to another. But it looks like when you do this your older messages stay at the old instance?
