This is such an obvious point but it is so funny to me that Elon's free-speech crusade on Twitter lasted all of six weeks before he started indiscriminately banning reporters. Like what an all-time hilarious business story

YouTube says we'll see videos the "Canadian Government regulator has prioritized, rather than content they are interested in." Well #YouTube does that now. It's the same spammy crap over and over. #YouTube even unsubscribes me from my favourite channels. #Canada #BillC11#streaming

The profits of ExxonMobil, Chevron, BP and Shell have skyrocketed by 169% so far this year to $125 billion.

While you were paying through the nose at the gas pump, Big Oil companies were using the cover of inflation to line their pockets.

It's time for a windfall profits tax.

I goofed on the Android app. I seem to have blocked the entire Mastodon.social instance. And can't find how to undo that 😐

This seems backwards to me

When scammers show up here on Mastodon you'll know that this is the spot to be. Leeches always go for blood and blood is where the crowds are.

Decided to look at network stats again. There are 1M more people using #Mastodon today than there were on October 27.

The funny (?) thing is the people who discovered insulin meant for it to be free for everyone for all time. But the University of Toronto where insulin was discovered needed someone to mass produce it and asked Eli Lilly. Now they stabbed everyone in the back, it makes up 50% of the company's profits. #insulin #EliLilly

Viewing Federated is like trying to drink from a firehouse. Is there a way to pause it or just pick slow mode?
