#Musk biographer Seth Abramson says Musk's IQ is no higher than 110 and that he has no intellectual accomplishments. "“If you assign intelligence to just spending money, you’re in a cult,” he also added. “If you attach intelligence to simply owning a successful company whose work on a day-to-day basis you have nothing to do with and who you are considerably more of a hindrance to than a help to, you’re in a cult.”

The term “DEI” is being used as a cover to tear apart much of the federal government. It’s not that this language didn’t exist before, but it’s being weaponized now. Suddenly the cold, impersonal-sounding acronym DEI has replaced “diversity initiatives,” “civil rights,” “equal rights,” “fairness,” and “anti-discrimination” in everyday conversation.

sup is like Facebook Messenger, but for the fediverse.

Connect all of your fediverse accounts on one app, and connect with people on other platforms or protocols, like IRC.

It's also going to be fully open source, and modular with a simple plugin system to add support for other fediverse platforms and more.

A universal, open, federated messenger.

It’s been a year…
…and my crazy project is complete
100% merino wool
One line per day of half double crochet stitch for a king size bed spread.
It ended up costing about $150 more than planned, and took about 215 hours.
I started it the day we moved in so it is August to August, hence the cold in the middle. I used the high temp of the day since that was easy to track.

After some time pondering whether I should join, I finally decided to sign up to Mastodon.

Thank you for not tracking me, and thank you for not shoving ads in my face 🙏 #introductions
