The January 6th Committee has posted its final report. The document is long. Please pause at this page right at the beginning, the list of the committee staff. https://january6th.house.gov/sites/democrats.january6th.house.gov/files/Report_FinalReport_Jan6SelectCommittee.pdf
Note how many attorneys served as investigative counsel. These attorneys deserve credit for generating documentation and evidence that gave the hearings their legal seriousness. #lawFedi #RuleOfLaw #Jan6Committee
twitter is the amazing restaurant under new management that now waters down drinks, swaps ingredients for cheaper alternatives, and constantly yells at staff in front of the customers
Matthew says good stuff about the Trump tweets. First, Trump resisted, and they had to force him to use the word “peaceful”in his first tweet. second, she thought that the “you’re very special” tweet was “indefensible.”
Over on the birdsite, every 4th or 5th tweet is an ad and they are increasingly bizarre. Crypto, weird religious stuff. And now there’s an invite in my notifications to subscribe to Blue. I see fewer and fewer of the people whose tweets I like. It’s going to be impossible to see much decent content if you don’t pay. And I’m not paying. #twitterexodus

Every news outlet should stand up a Mastondon instance for their reporters & staff.

It’ll be great to see [email protected] or whatever domain they want to use.

Built in verification. Every reporter for the Washington Post on a washpo domain. Every reporter for the New York Times on an NYTimes domain. Etc, etc.

Plus the “local” feed for each instance becomes a feed of all the posts from that institution mixed together — providing extra discovery.

This framing from Axios is absolutely maddening:

"Elon Musk and allies are building a new anti-left media ecosystem almost overnight."

No, it's anti-democratic. Seeing everything as part of a left-right binary is a form of brain rot.

I went over to the birdsite last night to vote NO in Space Karen's poll and this morning realized that I just helped him boost engagement. Much regret.

Husband: *excitedly* So I've started calling people who use Mastodon "Masto-blasters."

Me: No.

Him: YES.

Me: That is a bad name.

Him: IT'S THE COOLEST NAME.

*five minutes pass*

Me: I just started following the neatest Masto-blaster, come look.
