For evangelicals, you can take anything, put a Jesus sticker on it, and they'll love it.

Bad chicken sandwich, Jesus sticker. Love it! Dog poop, Jesus sticker. Love it! Trump, Jesus sticker. Love it!

Wow, 50/50 split. Bold prediction, Nate!

Nate has been wrapped up in the betting markets, and I'm afraid he's not the same Nate Silver from 2008.

Please, stop!

I don't need them to give me any more reasons to not visit Idaho! I promise I won't go.

If true, that might be a campaign finance violation. Any agreement with value to the campaign counts, and must be reported. That's one of the reasons why the Stormy Daniels thing got him in hot water.

PeerTube is also a Fediverse service, and does the longer form videos, like YouTube. It mostly works fine; it just lacks content.

Four out of the past eleven governors of Illinois did prison time. I think most of those were Democrats.

Side question: What do you use as an RSS reading?

 

As a project, Mastodon has operated under the umbrella of Mastodon GmbH, a German company that benefited from non-profit status with the German government. Despite all indications that they were doing everything right, Mastodon GmbH recently had its non-profit status revoked, resulting in the team to seek an alternative.

In the announcement, CEO and founder Eugen Rochko had this to say:

Our day to day operations are largely unaffected by this event, since Patreon does not presuppose non-profit status, and Patreon income does not count as donations. We have in fact not had to issue a single donation receipt since 2021.

Mastodon remains one of the only popular social platforms that operates out of the European Union, and Eugen desires to keep things that way. With that being said, this could be an interesting opportunity for the project: a presence in the United States may reduce friction in hiring employees there.
