Life under the new GOP:

"- One woman miscarried in the lobby restroom of a Texas emergency room as front desk staff refused to admit her. Another woman learned that her fetus had no heartbeat at a Florida hospital, the day after a security guard turned her away from the facility. And in North Carolina, a woman gave birth in a car after an emergency room couldn't offer an ultrasound. The baby later died."

"Pregnant patients have 'become radioactive to emergency departments' in states with extreme abortion restrictions, said Sara Rosenbaum, a George Washington University health law and policy professor. They are so scared of a pregnant patient, that the emergency medicine staff won’t even look. They just want these people gone."
As someone on social media asked, I wonder how many women took a pregnancy test this morning and discovered that they are Democrats?

🤔 Not sure I quite get this. But it’s.. interesting.

'Cowardly judge:' Dismissed juror number 4 shares his story.

But this cracked me up:

“But when Cabreras walked into court Thursday, he said he "didn't even notice" .” https://apple.news/AG05mvsKYRCe7f3u4WgDy-Q

@GottaLaff To me, it means they made the right decision to dismiss him.

I was thinking what it would be like being in a jury room with this guy. I get a feeling it would be difficult to get him to just focus on the facts and not bring his emotions into it. His emotional bursts would be difficult to deal with.

For anyone who hates (most, I hope?), you'll be delighted to know that MeidasTouch has turned on their federation and can be followed from Mastodon and other Fediverse apps via @meidastouch

Offer void where prohibited by Admin law

While they have a Mastodon account on mstdn.social (@MeidasTouch), they seemed to have stopped posting with it back in September, sadly.

Terrible law and ruling, most definitely done by right wing activists on the court and legislature, IMO. However, this claim is false. Two different statutes. https://www.snopes.com/news/2024/04/12/arizona-abortion-law-age-of-consent/

Always double check, and don't pass on falsehoods. The truth is damning enough already.

Jerry,
@Jerry@hear-me.social avatar

@JeffCodes the Washington Post was one source so I thought it was an accurate claim. Snopes says otherwise so I deleted the post.

https://www.europesays.com/1151061/ Boris Johnson warns Trump: You can’t make America great again if Ukraine falls to Putin

Jerry,
@Jerry@hear-me.social avatar

@europesays Boris is falling into the same trap as so many others. Trump doesn't want, or care, about making America great. He only cares about himself, and he just uses these catchphrases to pull the weak-mined into his realm. Boris ought to understand this. Or maybe he does. And he, too, is pretending to care about something more than himself, hoping to hold on to any remaining power.

At any rate, whatever either of them say is a lie and shouldn't be taken literally.

7 of 9 (Jeri Ryan) has turned on Threads Federation and can now be followed on the Fediverse!

She once had an active Mastodon account but hasn't posted anything since last September. But, she's a prolific poster on at @jerilryan

Her inactive Mastodon account is @JeriLRyan

@tooters What? No! You were a beacon of sanity in this crazy Federated world. A ray of sanity. I'm sorry to hear this.

I'll miss your being here, and I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

has enabled Federation on his threads account, @barackobama, and so his account can be followed here on Mastodon and other Fediverse servers.

This offer not valid on servers where your Admin is blocking

Sorry. You need to make your own decision.

@Jerry@hear-me.social avatar

@Npars01 @barackobama @GottaLaff

If you're blocking the Thread's domain, I don't think you'd see boosts, even if boosted from a follower, unless they pasted an image of the post into a new post.

It's an interesting service to provide, but I haven't come across anything like it.

@BeAware@social.beaware.live avatar

So....there's an instance that has defederated from like 21,000 instances including all the shitty ones and the biggest ones and me.

lol.lamp.wtf

I wonder who they actually federate with🤔🤣🤣

Edit: its a joke instance that's automated and not managed. See: 0 active users

#Fediverse #Fedi #ActivityPub #Mastodon

Jerry,
@Jerry@hear-me.social avatar

@BeAware I wonder if it's supposed to be a joke. They claim, "The Mastodon server with the best moderation in the world!" And 0 active accounts.

Jerry,
@Jerry@hear-me.social avatar

@DavidBHimself @BeAware .art was my first thought too. I always thought that since she blocks any Admin who doesn't 100% agree with her, that it is then a foregone conclusion that, given enough time, she would become the first self-defederated instance. But, now, she'll have to be the 2nd as someone else has wholly de-federated by blocking.

Jerry, to threads
@Jerry@hear-me.social avatar

This is a question for those who have moved from as their primary social media microblogging site to a Mastodon (or other ActivityPub) instance.

  1. Why did you move from to a different platform, a Federated one?
  2. Did you know anything about Mastodon, or other Federated platforms, before Threads turned on Federation?
  3. How is the experience better, worse, the same compared to Threads?
  4. Are you maintaining dual accounts now or are you completely off Threads?
  5. Other thoughts on the topic?
