The thing to keep in mind about Santos being sentenced to prison is this is not, actually, a Republican facing accountability.
Remember: He stole from Republicans. This is retribution, not justice.
Donβt expect a trend of Republicans toeing the line to face consequences any time soon.

New accounts
We've started both a Mastodon and a Diaspora, mostly for crosspost testing, and having a backup for contacting @#SpaceHost Help should this instance go down.
That said, as the newest toot on @Taurnsndhaus Admin says, I'll be using that one for St Louis related toots, maybe unique to there, maybe boosting stuff from here. No political stuff unless its really funny, or #STL related. We'll also be posting any STL or #missouri based recalls there as well.
@Taursndhaus Admin 's use is uncertain at this time, testing purposes definitely, beyond that, unsure. I might post (toot?) my Tumblr favorites over there too, that's what pushed me to set up these accounts, I my send them there and re-share them here, we'll see. Beyond that, I'm not sure how I'm going to use that. Heck, I set that one up as my old #diaspora on rageoss vanished, actually the whole pod seems to have. Activity on that one is obviously uncertain as Diaspora's lack of #ActivityPub limits the reach, if it had that, I'd prolly be running Diaspora instead of #friendica
So what started all of this?
It was brought to my attention that although my Tumblr posts were showing up fine on my end, albeit with some work as some posts wouldn't show a thumbnail or a link from the blog I found the post on, requiring me to find a re-share that would work, there were problems with sharing those posts. Mastodon shows nothing but a link, but that's the same whether its coming from here or directly from Tumblr; Diaspora however could show them fine when direct posted there, but when crossposted from here, all they see is a link. Clearly Tumblr is somehow breaking sharing from here as regular news articles, boosts, and any original posts here share fine, but none of Tumblr's posts do. Somehow I'm not surprised, I mean Tumblr offers an RSS feed, and I can follow feeds here just like I do any member of the #Fediverse , but their feeds are flaky at best, sometimes they won't work at all, giving me no way to follow them, other times posts lag and/or show up in clumps.
But any how, there's the whats and whys of where else I can be found.

ranking the best things I have had heard surgeons say mid-surgery:
1. "Five second rule!" while scrubbed, after dropping a sterile scalpel on the floor (no they did NOT pick it up again but I swear everyone's buttholes puckered)
2. (spoken during the closing of a particularly long and difficult case) "Nurse - my tunes." :heavy metal starts blasting:
3. Gently to a fretful patient, pre-anaesthesia: "It's going to be okay. I promise, I've dealt with worse."
As soon as the patient is unconscious: "This is literally the worst thing I've ever seen."
4. [okay this one was a med student] "Wowwww, that's so gross!!β
Reg: ""[xxx], "Please remember that the patient is awake for this procedure." Student to patient: "Oh my god. I am so sorry, that was really unprofessional - " Patient, cheerfully, also engrossed with what's happening inside them on the screen: "Nah - it's, like, super gross, right?β

Oh dear. The Hitchhiker's Guide in Adams' books did not answer questions, it was a portable, digital encyclopedia that you could search. More like Wikipedia on a Kindle than an LLM.
The term "grok" comes not from Douglas Adams but from Robert Heinlein, specifically his controversial book, Stranger in a Strange Land, in which a human being raised on Mars by martians is returned to Earth.
The term "grok" means to deeply, profoundly understand something. Generative AI cannot understand anything.
When fascists make lists, bad things are coming.
They want to make lists of autistic people. Of women likely to seek abortion. Of undocumented immigrants.
Discretion and privacy are more important than ever now. Donβt track things electronically if it can be avoided. Donβt broadcast resistance efforts. Use encrypted messaging and leave your cellphone at home.
It might save a life.

Panda Express walked back their employee mask ban in response to public outcry.
Starbucks is also attempting to prohibit their employees from masking unless they have a doctors note.
Get loud. Call, email & boycott. These ableist decisions are reversible, we just need to keep up the fight!

Q: βYou really think Trump would go so far as to stage an assassination attempt with pawns dying as collateral damage?
A: This lifelong con artist attempted a coup, stole top national security secrets, ran a fraudulent cancer charity and a bogus university, and was convicted of 34 felonies. Heβs as fake as that bandage at the RNC. So, yes.
Yet the corporate news media just accepted the whole thing as real without asking any of the obvious questions.
