Let's say I wanted to hook up a town with lots of #facebook #boomers on the Fediverse by creating a server, which platform would you recommend? #Pleroma? #Mastodon? #Friendica? Another one?

What a great song. And not just because it's about beating the English at sea.

It was Stalin’s Comintern that instructed its parties to label all adversaries to the right as "fascists." When libs today call people who have no connection to actual fascism "fascist", they’re perpetuating a Russian Communist psyop by a guy dead for 70 years. https://twitter.com/pegobry/status/1350577017947893760 #Russia

Thread.

Tom Elliott: Can anyone explain — maybe @jaketapper or @NicolleDWallace — why Republicans who voted against certifying the Electoral College votes are being called “seditionits,” “treasonists,” etc. — while these terms were never used when Dems did the same thing in 2001, 2005, 2017?

I keep reading about how the GOP has broken with Trump, is about to break with Trump, might break with Trump. It is not going to happen. Trump owns the base, and the base owns their souls. https://twitter.com/acoyne/status/1350832614677106691 #GOP #Trump

Re 5. Section 230 is supposed to protect the internet from lawsuits for things they didn’t themselves publish. Like protecting phone companies from what people talk about on a phone call. Twitter is an active editor, but they use that law. Guess what: that law isn’t in Canada. https://twitter.com/ezralevant/status/1350853735812108291 #Canada

This was always going to happen with Biden’s capitulation to the far left on illegal immigration. He must know that after the Obama administration.

David Frum: The Biden immigration plans could wreck his whole administration from the start. They will invite a border surge that will force Biden to choose between mass detentions or ever-accelerating unauthorized migration.

Re 11. Let me close with my quiz for Canadian political watchers. WITHOUT GOOGLING IT, can you name the Conservative critics for health, energy, environment, defence or foreign affairs? I literally have not met a single person who can -- I bet many Conservative MPs couldn't. Why? https://twitter.com/ezralevant/status/1350876073567936513 #Canada

By reading from the Liberal script, O'Toole has framed the ballot question for the spring election. Not the lockdown, Trudeau's vaccine fiasco, Big Tech, civil liberties, the crushing debt, etc.

It'll be an endless purity test of every single Conservative supporter.

in the conan the barbarian film thulsa doom tells conan: "Thulsa Doom : Yes! You know what it is, don't you boy? Shall I tell you? It's the least I can do. Steel isn't strong, boy, flesh is stronger! Look around you. There, on the rocks; a beautiful girl. Come to me, my child..."

Antonio García Martínez: Navalny, survivor of an assassination by poisoning attempt, kisses his wife before being taken by the police on trying to return to Putin's Moscow.

Real drama and heroism still exist.

Maybe I'll hook it up to an accurate user count bot at some point, but anyway: There are 2,728 Mastodon servers online today and on them, there are 252,893 monthly active users, a number that increased by 45,517 since Jan 11th.

Re the girl jumps to her death.

conan then shows the strength of steel, killing doom.

but on a deep level thulsa doom was correct. over the long-term those with values and principles do win out, even if they are persecuted in their time. this is a reoccurring historical motif https://twitter.com/razibkhan/status/1350878423233818630
