MUGGER: Give me your money!

ME: I don’t carry money. I use Apple Pay.

MUGGER: How does it work?

Maybe my NPR station would have to send fewer direct mailers asking for more money if they spent less money sending mailers asking for more money.

Trump Org Convicted of Tax Crimes

Via NYTimes: “The conviction on all 17 counts, after more than a day of jury deliberations in State Supreme Court in Manhattan, resulted from a long-running scheme in which the Trump Organization doled out off-the-books luxury perks to some executives: They received fancy apartments, leased Mercedes-Benzes, even private school tuition for relatives, none of which they paid taxes on.”

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.

Fellow #EduTooter @edutooters Not sure if I shared this with you, but you may find it helpful if you’re are still using the “stock” or “official” Mastodon app. This is a list of alternatives I have tried myself and enjoyed using. Share as you like, boost, or retoot/post.

Some have mentioned there are other great apps. I know about @ivory (iOS) @megalodon (Android) but if you’re using something amazing on your device, please share back. This is a teaser image from an upcoming blog entry at #TCEA #TechNotes #blog https://blog.tcea.org but it’s not out yet (written, done, scheduled but it won’t come out until later this month).

Hey there, fedi-land.  I'm trying to assemble a solid list of maker/creator folks and organizations to follow who regularly post pictures/articles/videos about their projects.

Anybody got any grist for the mill out there?
