@clive does your new weekly link blog / website have an rss feed??

@chockenberry Craig I would first like to say, very sorry about your mom. My condolences.

Secondly, I'm in the process of finishing a coding bootcamp, and for my last like, personal project, I thought it would be fun to make an rss reader out of spite from the Twitter takeover.

I thought it was fun to see that same idea in your furbo blog

Any list out there of republic government officials that own railroad stock / bought out by railroad companies?

EDIT: DO NOT BOOST!

This post is nearly a year old, and boosting will simply spread misinformation. Mastodon now has substantially more funding, and has enough scale to handle its many users.

I would delete this post but my server is not letting me so I'm editing this to reflect that I wish for you to NOT BOOST!
