Well, here I am now on mastodon.social, having migrated from home.social. Many thanks to @annmlipton and @design_law for pointers to

https://fedi.tips/transferring-your-mastodon-account-to-another-server/

which worked perfectly -- the total time to migrate was under 5 minutes.

Not sure why @home.social is shutting down, but so long, server, it was great while it lasted.

@jciv @design_law It's a real weakness of the fediverse. Servers are run by volunteers, and volunteers get tired and burn out.

"This week, DeSantis’s Twitter handle was changed from 'RonDeSantisFL' to the more nationally friendly 'RonDeSantis.' The previous owner of 'RonDeSantis' was Ronald Louis DeSantis, a Realtor in California who died in 2020. His account, created in 2009, is now 'rondeSantis__1.' So either the Florida governor’s team reached out to his estate and managed to coordinate a swap — or Twitter facilitated the transfer."

If the US defaults, what should one use as a proxy for the risk-free rate?

@jciv I posed that question to my M&A students this year :-)

As with DeSantis and Disney, CEOs really need to understand just how much the GOP proposes to use state power to interfere with corporate marketing decisions:

Diercks "began to see evidence of abusive behavior from Moonves and consistent support for him from 'the upper echelons' of CBS management.

She said she decided to contact the Times when she became concerned that CBS might not act on the evidence that she and others had uncovered."

Musk loses his Second Circuit appeal to escape his Twitter-sitter; my favorite part is that this opinion issued days after oral argument (may 11), that's how frivolous this was

I highlight in this column we see another example of how non shareholder constituencies -workers - use disclosures intended for shareholders. Information provided by public companies matters to the economy as a whole etc etc
