Let me rephrase: Hi all, I’m a thin-skinned white guy, who doesn’t ever want to have to be considerate any other person or group. I’m going to take my marbles over to that billionaire’s place where white guys are rule and Jack Dorcy will insist on no moderation, cause what we white guys truly want is the continued colonization of social media.

I don't post on here much any more, or monitor it much, so probably better to find me on Bluesky if you need me.

De gustibus etc. No platform is perfect. But I feel more comfortable there, and less like I'm likely to get screamed at for using Latin without a CW or something.

I'm excited about the next release of Friendica is that the BlueSky integration is mature enough I will activate it on my instance. NGL one of the reasons why is because some accounts, like @Popehat that abandoned Birdshite/Xitter for here are mostly posting over there now. Others that never left have since left it for there (or Threads). Threads I'll pick up when their ActivityPub bridge kicks in. But for the time being anyway there is no ActivityPub bridge from BlueSky. It is posts like this that I miss from Ken though :). Looking forward to merging BlueSky into my fediverse experience the way I used to be able to with Twitter. #fediverse #BlueSky #friendica #ElonMusk #twitter

You know, @Popehat, if I were Trump's attorneys I'd be really worried about him breaking these rules--probably by including sensitive info in one of his endless public rants.

Trump really does not seem the type to obey restrictions on what he can reveal or say.

Richard Hanania’s view of America versus America.

But I am assured by Serious Thinkers that he’s a moderate, thoughtful, important voice, and it’s so crucial to take him seriously. So very Serious, such Thinkers, every one.

Trump to Judge Chutkan: I cannot respond to the court with a 1 page reply in two days. I need 14 days.

Trump to Fox News: I can end the Ukriane war in 24 hours.

Trump asked for more time to respond to Smith’s request on the protective order, which had followed Trump’s Truth social post — and was quickly denied by Judge Chutkan. 5p Monday deadline for a response stands.

This week on Serious Trouble: we redid the podcast to handle the late-breaking Superseding Indictment, plus Hunter Biden drama, Rudy, and SBF.

@Popehat
I don't suppose you just finished taping a podcast right before the superseding indictment dropped, did you?

This line from The New York Times this morning kind of blew my mind:

"The game industry now accounts for significant chunks of the economy. It is larger than music, U.S. book publishing and North American sports COMBINED. Microsoft’s game division and Activision Blizzard each make more money annually than all U.S. movie theaters."

(Emphasis mine)

"Look for news coverage that includes a link to the Supreme Court decision, motion for summary judgment, indictment, or civil complaint. Why? Even if you think you can’t read it, you should look for reporters who think you might." – @Popehat

Really impressed by the number of people on social media who turn out to have expertise in both deep sea engineering AND modern Russian political dynamics.

Canada: We’re gonna tax Facebook for letting news outlets post links on it

Facebook: Ok, but if you charge us for allowing news links in Canada, we’ll stop allowing news links in Canada

Canada: Nuh-uh

Facebook: Done

Canada: Wait no how could you
