In Japan, if a tree is in the middle of a road under construction, they dig and encapsulate its roots and replant it elsewhere. πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅ 🌳#Trees πŸ’š #Nature #Respect

Still cracks me up when 17 refers to her monthly visitor as "Shark Attack"... in case you're wondering where she gets her demented sense of humor.

There is nothing strategic about the "Strategic Production Response Act" when it comes to helping working families.

In reality, its only "strategy" is to help out the GOP’s fossil fuel friends, who already receive billions of dollars in taxpayer-funded subsidies.

Aaron Rupar:

Rep. Michael Waltz says there may be congressional hearings about #DirecTV dropping #Newsmax

Oliver Darcy:

Just so everyone has the context here, the reason that DirecTV dropped Newsmax is because the right-wing channel wanted the satellite carrier to pay them a carriage fee. DirecTV said no, pointing to the fact that Newsmax streams for free on other platforms such as Roku.

I don’t know if it’s just my experience, or more general too, but I’m noticing more journalists on #Mastodon posting breaking news. Which is a very good sign for the future of the platform.

I’m genuinely at the end of my patience with Twitter.

I have literally had a Law and Order episode made about harassment targeted at me on Twitter. My tolerance for it is extremely high. But something has changed about the character since Elon took it over.

The level of trolls are out of control. Every conversation is toxic. And it’s changing me in ways I don’t like.

It's sort of "oooh look there's an attack on journalism, that's wrong, but we'll keep using Twitter because we think there's no other option"

No. A social network that can ban or censor at a whim *is a central challenge to fair reporting*

Help build up alternatives *without* that central flaw!
