I'm quite happy with my Mastodon timeline, and although I follow over 1000 accounts, the heavy lifting is done by a few accounts that know how to hit the boost button and put that knowledge to good use.

Therefore, I think it's time for a #followfriday:

@DamonHD
@UncivilServant
@baldur
@bitprophet
@catsalad
@hacks4pancakes
@jwildeboer
@lisamelton

@wendynather

The accounts are in no particular order and the list is not exhaustive.

You have the freedom to do exactly what Ron DeSantis wants you to do. Nothing Orwellian to see here by the red, white, and blue lights on bridges in the state.

I don't think storm troopers are as constantly frightened as cops. They honestly have more patience, to a fault

So Bandcamp and SoundCloud for music.
IHeart Radio for podcasts.

Probably asked this before but what's a good, reliable, and expansive alternative to Audible? Is there one?

Libro.fm

And I hear a lot of public libraries do audiobooks

Clark Neily on X: "Judge Carlton Reeves has criticized before, but wow, he really cut loose this time. It's extremely rare for a sitting judge to express this level of disdain for a legal doctrine that has consistently and repeatedly affirmed. /1 https://t.co/1TdShAVOdC https://t.co/Z58WxY3TSU" / X

AOC v MTG

Next to him, Raskin buried his face in his hands.

Comer imposed a five-minute recess. When the hearing resumed, Lauren Boebert – the Colorado extremist and theatrical exhibitionist who usually battles for attention with MTG – was of all people the one to offer an apology “to the American people”.

“When things get as heated as they have,” Boebert said, “unfortunately, it’s an embarrassment on our body as a whole.”
