  I’m changing the way I use Mastodon. Not that you should care. But for the curious (like, 2 of you), a 🧵: I am not new to Mastodon, and I’ve entered and exited the Fediverse at least 2x before my latest self-induced banishment. I run (read: pay for) an instance. I’ve used half a dozen different clients. I’m no developer. I’m quick on the ban hammer. I don’t give a single shit about growth hacks, influencers, or purists. (No shade to those who do. Well, that’s a lie. All the shade.) 1/n

  Yesterday at around 4p, I got the new mRNA flu shot (mFLUSIVA) and my Pfizer COVID booster. Because ‘tis the season. About an hour ago, I started getting a chill and noticed some muscle aches. All of which are common, I just didn’t experience any side-effects previously. But I’ll deal with a day of minor discomfort if it decreases my chances of getting disease that continue to kill people, because I’m not a moron. #GetVaccinated

  RE: https://infosec.exchange/@drwhax/116972220646850101 It probably makes me appear psychotic, but I’m actually rooting for the collapse of this foolishness. I’ve no idea what the aftermath will look like, but I’ll welcome it. #AIIsGoingGreat

  RE: https://mas.to/@markwyner/116936811244154360 Reuters is most well known for running the Reuters news agency, but the company is also a massive data broker and sells access to that data to companies and governments. Its data product, called CLEAR, promises to “Accelerate investigations confidently through a vast collection of public and proprietary records” #FuckReuters

  I was today-years-old when I learned about George W. Plunkitt, the Tammany Society, and the concept of Honest Graft. Which isn't honest. But it's how politicians and their friends make a fortune fucking the rest of us on civil projects. News to you as well?

  Happy Fourth of July to all who celebrate with a freedumber parachuting with a giant flag that gets caught in a tree during the landing that leads to a face plant on a tent while Lee Greenwood’s iconic song plays on a loop, probably. H/t to @Jazone@theforkiverse.com & @cabel@social.panic.com for the find. #usa #July4

  #IVoted #today! I used AZ’s new ID Verified system so that my early ballot will be ran thru the tabulator by tomorrow. (In AZ, elected idiots decided that mail-in ballots can’t be tabulated until the polls close on Election Day. This bypasses that nonsense.) It was super simple. If you got a ballot mailed to you in #MaricopaCounty, you can do this too! #vote #Primary #Phoenix #Az #Arizona

  Arizonans are among the worst when it comes voting in primary elections, so I made a voting guide for the #PrimaryElection coming up on July 21st to help fix that! https://evoterra.me/az-2026-primary-voting-guide Read the whole thing at that link ☝️. Here's the summary: #vote #arizona #MaricopaCounty #Phoenix 1/x

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@AnnaAnthro/116562029086375327 It may make me an asshole, but it seems like this is something we should just let the dumbasses do. No rational person—of any age—needs to be warned against this stupidity.

  Congrats to my friends at The Podcast Host and Alitu on a successful acquisition. https://alitu.com/creator/tool/alitu-new-home/ But I'm more than a little skeptical of the future value of either, given the company that acquired them—Rocketable—calls itself: "The AI Maximalist Software Holding Company Backed by Y Combinator, True Ventures, Bloomberg Beta, and INDIE.vc” #AISucks #Podcasting

  Hey, #Arizona unaffiliated (e.g., independent, no party affiliation) registered voters. Did you know you CAN vote in the Primary Election on July 21st? Yep! You can request a ballot from either party. Do it for the Dems, and vote for the most progressives you can. This is how we make the Dems better. https://www.azcleanelections.gov/no-party #vote #phoenix #tucson #flagstaff #az

  This is the best article I've read about podcast monetization in a very long time, and I HATE talking about podcast monetization! https://podnews.net/article/intimacy-over-scale Programmatic ads really only bring in meaningful revenue when they get 100s of 1000s of impressions a month, which forces podcasters to cram 9 or more ads into each episode. But direct sponsorship is quite different. Better for listeners, the creator, and the sponsor. #podcasting #monetization #ads #sponsorship

  What happens when progressives show up to #vote in local elections? “the Clean Energy Team flipped two seats… shifting control of the body to clean-energy-friendly board members.” “in 13 head-to-head races… Clean Energy Team candidates won 11 of the matchups.” “The losses for Turning Point, despite the massive investment of money and effort, could be a troubling bellwether for both Republicans and Turning Point itself… in November.” #Phoenix #AZ https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/arizona-...

  Just saw someone I’m loosely connected with in the #activism space lamenting the “social media suppression” of #NoKings3 information. Meanwhile, on Mastodon, we’re having a rather different experience. Because fuck corporate-owned centralized social media platforms.
