@indivisibleteam That one seat is going to seem very important when they're voting him out.

Well, it's been 1 week today since I joined Mastodon, and I'm enjoying it SO much more Twit-shit.

Reporters, AG lawyers, Tish James and Secret Service are all in the courtroom now for Trump civil fraud trial closing arguments, which are scheduled to start at 10 but will likely be delayed. No sign yet of Trump lawyers or Trump himself.

😂 #WompWomp

#Trump won’t make his own closing argument in his #NewYork civil business fraud trial after his lawyers objected to the judge’s insistence that the former president would stick to “relevant” matters.

Judge Arthur Engoron rescinded permission on Wednesday, a day ahead of closing arguments in the trial. #legal

@GottaLaff And there it is.

Dollars to donuts says he was planning to rant about supposed election fraud and interference as if it would have any bearing on this trail about all his own fraud.

🤦🏻‍♀️1. It won’t happen. This is more red meat for his little Nazi followers.
2. If he did, if his lawyers really go there with him, he’ll milk that free publicity for all it’s worth as always, while getting laughed, objected to, & fined out of court.

But what do I know.

@GottaLaff Didn't he have some sort of document with all the mysterious proof he tried to read during the trial? Maybe he thinks this is his opportunity to wow us with all that mysterious proof of election fraud.

markdstein,
@markdstein@mastodon.social avatar

@GottaLaff Agreed. He can't possibly improve the result, but testifying will certainly make it worse.

With #X CEO Linda Yaccarino sitting in the room, Elon just told advertisers who have pulled out of X — including Disney CEO Bob Iger — to go fuck themselves.

Going to share a few more up-close shots of the new Mastodon merch! I'm happy that we got to incorporate some Mastodon history in the designs. Mind you there's only going to be 250 of each at launch!

An enamel pin attached to a white t-shirt. The pin features an elephant riding a paper airplane.
A purple mug featuring an elephant on a green landscape. The elephant is waving.
A black t-shirt featuring an elephant riding a paper airplane among different colored planets. The Mastodon logo is visible.

@Gargron Will there be more released if the demand exists?

We've been having a problem with the subtitles on our YouTube videos for a few weeks now. Is anyone else having this problem where they all show up covering the first few seconds?

We aren't doing anything different we can think of, and everything looks fine with all the timestamp settings in the system. I'm at a loss for how to fix it.

@grammargirl I've seen it on lots of videos over the past few weeks.

Most Twitter employees did not receive any type of severance when they were laid off, and even those that did got only one month of pay. https://www.thedailybeast.com/twitter-sued-for-owing-dollar500-million-in-severance-to-ex-employees

@taylorlorenz It's just Full Severance Denial mode. Working as intended

@briankrebs @goldengateblond Dollars to Donuts says the "stronger form of mute" he's thinking of would not allow muting of his posts.
