[Edit: I'd like to request no more boosts for this post for now - my DMs are still open to, and please do still forward this to specific folks you think might be interested. I've got so many responses that it's going to take me a while to get to all of them - which I will. ❤️ you all for being so supportive of this idea.]

I have an offer to make: do you want to run an instance on the fediverse for a group that's underrepresented here?

I'll pay the bills. Period.

I'll do admin if needed (software updates and the like). But you decide what kind of community you want it to be, so you put together the mod team.

DM me.

That Republicans want to protect luxury cars more than Capitol police officers is just too on the nose.

@dmnelson but 99% of government waste is actually anti corruption measures against corporations!

Why do they get 3 bids and public comments and surety bonds and shit? Because shithead capitalists will cheat the government. So you spend 20 or 30% extra but get guarantees that the job is completed.

You never see government workers arrested for defrauding the government (except POTUS) but you see daily headlines about capitalist pigs who get busted for defrauding the government.

Voice of America turmoil through the eyes of veteran VOA journalist Steve Herman

Voice of America (VOA), the U.S. government-funded international broadcaster, is facing an unprecedented crisis. Journalists have been cut off from their newsrooms—emails shut down, phones disconnected, and no way to reach editors—leaving many in a state of uncertainty. Steve Herman, Chief National Correspondent for VOA, finds himself among more than 1,300 colleagues placed on excused absence. As the shutdown stretches on, audiences once served by VOA’s trusted reporting are turning elsewhere, raising questions about the future of one of America’s most enduring journalistic institutions.

I truly hope someone manages to shoot him in his single celled brain...the sooner the better.

Double tap just in case.

Since Your rude ass (@quiltgran ) replies and then blocks you're getting put on blast, then suspended like other fools.

The hashtag for #fediadmin is for other admins to find and block things like this. These guys are spamming the #introduction hashtag to make sure new users get a taste of hate and should be suspended ASAP.

Its properly marked as sensitive, with warning alt.

I'm the admin of multiple instances, alerting other admins.

This is the way.

I know "Google kills stuff" is a meme but I thought this was the one Google service I didn't have to worry about!!!

Google Domains shutting down, assets sold and being migrated to Squarespace

Google Domains is "winding down following a transition period," with Squarespace taking over the business and assets...

@[email protected] I hate the motherfucker too, but he'll land himself in jail without making things up.

And you obviously wanted outside input if you hashtagged your post.

But now I get to return the favor, and block, twice :)

Reply and block is a real dick move. Those posts have more detail than that, and also media showing the packing.

Plenty more sources too, just can't fit them all in a post.

Here's some arriving Jan 18th

And another, moving out Jan 14th.

You are wrong. If you really are a professor, you should know better and should be able to read the words on the page. The DOJ doesn't choose their words randomly.

Trump headed to Mar-a-Lago soon: Days before Inauguration Day, moving trucks arrive

Trucks from JK Moving Services were in front of the club and workers were moving boxes into the property.
