Diner: “Now that’s a loaded question.”

How do you make a thread on Mastodon?

Pretty much the same way as on Twitter, with one difference. You compose the first post, publish it, then reply to it, then reply to it again, and so on. But there's one difference. If the first post is Public, you can make all the others Unlisted. This way, people can follow the thread by clicking on the first post, but their timeline isn't clogged up with all of the other posts.

[A short thread]

Trump just confessed that he turned down a deal to get Paul Whelan out of Russia and then immediately said if he were president, he would have gotten Whelan out.

This is of course contradicted by his own words and by the fact that he was president and failed to do so.

Yeah. COVID. It’s day 15. I’ve been pumping out gunk since day 1. This afternoon I developed a headache and my eyes feel puffy and feel “wrong”. I feel horrible. DO NOT GET COVID. WEAR A MASK.

Congress can — and we should — use these final weeks of 2022 to protect DACA recipients by giving them a pathway to citizenship.

Dreamers are just as American as any of us. Thank you to MSNBC’s Alicia Menendez for talking with me about the progress these young Americans deserve.

Here is a non-paywalled article about the reported #fusion breakthrough. Didn’t realize this happened in #California at Lawrence Livermore!

“The test involved bombarding a pellet of hydrogen plasma with the world’s largest laser to trigger a nuclear fusion reaction, the same process which takes place in the sun.

Researchers were able to produce 2.5 megajoules of energy, 120 per cent of the 2.1 megajoules used to power the experiment.”

But yeah, lets ban teaching about America's history of racism—which by the way is exactly what MAGA Republicans in Kansas are trying to do.

We now not only have all our #Bylines publications on Mastodon...

...but are now shifting them to our new Mastodon server (http://Bylines.Social)

We're the first UK media outfit, that we can see, to take the step of setting up a Mastodon server (instance) to provide content.

I think that's worth a little love ♥️

So please do follow and assiduously reblog:

Pro-tip: Instead of a gift card buy them something from the same store but you know they'll hate. Include a gift receipt. Same result but it feels like you tried.

Say it with me: To control inflation, we must take aim at corporate profits, not working people.

If you've been here over a month and you're STILL going on about the dumpster fire...

Have you ever met someone who just irritates you because they can't stop talking about their ex because they haven't gotten over them yet?

And you don't want to be rude because you get that change can be hard, so you just smile and quietly hope to yourself that they can let go soon and move on with their lives?

It's kinda like that.

A literalist takes things literally.

A kleptomaniac takes things, literally.
