Stephen FryOh no, I’ve got Jingle Bell Rock stuck in my head and just can’t stop whistling, humming and booming it. Maybe the act of sharing this will send the demon into you and deliver me of its addictive coils. Maybe.

Lauren WeinsteinSo, here is an active Google Doc that lists (at present) 139 "popular/famous/notable" #Mastodon accounts. The precise criteria for inclusion is not immediately obvious to me in all cases, but hey, it's better than nothing. - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cpUKkoT1MUn8_xM4usiERn-IdEuh0hXfBrwbbThwGiI/edit#gid=0
Erik MoellerNext up is the @TexasObserver. If you're not in Texas, following a regional outlet may not feel relevant, but note that Texas is a hotbed of illiberalism and corporate capture in the US, and often foreshadows strategies and tactics that will play out elsewhere.
As an example of their reporting, see this award-winning story they did in partnership with Grist on zombie oil wells and their environmental impact:

I believe that shifting our news and media ecosystem away from the profit model is essential, in order to rebuild trust & reduce systemic biases.
But we can't rely on billionaires and their foundations to fund things. For this to work, we have to support nonprofit media.
For #FollowFriday, I'm doing a longer thread about some nonprofit outlets. If you like their work, please consider supporting them.
(FYI: Mastodon supports temporary muting if you feel I'm spamming your feed.)

“People are hilarious. The gang who told you Twitter is a private company that can ban whoever it wants are now raging about Twitter banning people they like. AND The gang who demanded free speech for everyone are now celebrating Twitter banning people they don't like. 🤣”
