Note particularly the words threaten and intimidate. Here’s the theory under which an #indictment might allege that Trump’s #Jan6 tweet at 2:24 p.m. was a threat or attempt to intimidate Pence, to deprive him—and through him the voters whose ballots his role was designed to count—of the free exercise of a constitutional right.

In 1965, Hollywood executives made 15x the average salary of their workers.
By 2021 those top execs were earning 350x more than the average worker – including actors. Those actors also face increasing technological challenges to a steady paycheck.
Here's some essential background on the #actorsstrike. https://theconversation.com/actors-strike-209829 #News #SAGAFTRAstrike

Actors are demanding that Hollywood catch up with technological changes in a sequel to a 1960 strike

@ruud Appreciate those details. In the timezone I am in, I seldom see more than 20 users logged in to this instance when I am. Do you have a limit on how many would be the sweet spot for this server? I didn't really know the impact my follow/follower counts would have on the environment but it make sense. Thanks for the explanation.

@ruud Thanks so much - it's been much more perfomant of late. Just out of curiousity, since I've never been an admin, when the userbase of this instance doubles is it 1:1 for server demands, or is it wholly dependent on the # online at a given time and if they are doing more than just reading? Had tried the "main" calckey.social initially but it seems to regularly be stressed/overloaded. Whatever you are doing, it's appreciated. I'd heard a new version of Calckey will be released this week and curious if your instance will get that upgrade right away or wait to see if any bugs need addressing before changing things here...
