Y’all, please continue to boost good posts you see. I’ve realized that almost all of my discovery of new (to me) accounts on Mastodon comes from when you boost something, I like it, and click through to the original poster to check them out and end up following them.

Holy smokes! @nprofile…998y is really good at cutting through the bullshit and explaining things very simply. He's surfaced something today that I've always suspected, but never quite been able to put my finger on.
97% of the finance sector is useless gambling and creates nothing of value. It's what got us the housing bubble in 2008 and what's inflating the current AI bubble.

Renewable, carbon-free energy independence is possible. All you have to have is the political will.

@nprofile…p8cy How was the one about Wales? Mostly a political history? It's a fascinating place.

How bad is our healthcare system? “If the U.S. health system were a country, in dollar terms, it would be the third-largest economy in the world.” It's not designed to take care of people and make them better, it's designed to make the providers rich.

@nprofile…4unj Now that’s they way. Back when I was pulling live shows all the time, I burned them all to CD, but made the HUGE mistake of thinking the FLAC files weren’t valuable and deleted them all. Really wish I had kept them.

2025-11-11 01:09:55 UTC

I just never stopped buying CDs. Still the most convenient format if you want to physically own your media, especially if your car still has a CD player in it. https://mastodon.social/@dmandl/115527117759433025

@nprofile…rh2x Michael Franti is a really great musician who spans a number of genres. His shows are so much fun and very upbeat and positive. This song is a good representation of his sound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYTBok8Ol7k

@nprofile…79ya Does Ivory have plans to support #audio clips? This post came through my feed (https://heads.social/@4CPcomics/114763404490384098) and the media was just blank. When I opened the post in a browser, it was an audio clip that played just fine.

@nprofile…9fyy Not just you! I follow this one guy and his small avi is very fleshy and phallic and looks…suggestive. When you click through and enlarge, it’s a closeup shot of his neck and throat with his head tilted way back so that his throat stands out prominently. It’s really weird.

@nprofile…48vs This sounds exactly like the feelings you get from "Deep Work." If you haven’t read it, I highly recommend the book of the same name by Cal Newport.

Makes sense. Democrats are owned by their Wall Street billionaire donors who are all cheering everything Trump is doing behind closed doors.
It's not about political parties. It's about haves vs. have-nots. Those have capital and want extractive cheap labor vs. those who don't own capital and are forced to sell their labor.

And there go the free and fair elections…
An overlooked Trump executive order gave him control of the formerly independent elections commission.
“Two of the agencies subject to this new system are the Federal Election Commission (FEC) — a historically bipartisan, six-member organization that helps to set ground rules for how elections are run and financed — and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which controls access to the country’s airwaves.”

@nprofile…6yg2 I am as well and have been wrestling with it. I know I should, but where to get reliable national news? Is the NYT any better? I'm not sure it is.

@nprofile…6yg2 And as the Post makes that attempt to court them, they'll alienate their traditional base and liberal readers, thus losing overall market share. So they've just signed their own death warrant.

Don’t let #Walmart BS you. A recent study proved they actually make communities poorer.
“On net, they conclude, Walmart makes the places it operates in poorer than they would be if it had never shown up at all.”

This is so weird for #Mastodon. There’s an account which is not following me that likes every single toot I send. When I looked into it, there’s a realistic bio, but it’s a new account with only a few posts. Click through to the website they list and it’s also new. Four posts all on the same day from January and that’s it. So it’s obviously fake or a bot…but why? What is there to gain from this?

2025-02-11 21:24:30 UTC

Any #lawyers on here? My dad just wrote a book. "Raising the Bar, The Mentor Guidebook for New Lawyers." It would be a great addition to any law firm's library.
Check it out!

@npub1tps…9rmt I totally agree with the sentiment expressed in this post. However, I find it a bit confusing / inconsistent / hypocritical since so many of your posts rip religion as made up bullshit. So which is it?

2023-11-07 20:56:55 UTC

@npub19fc…ay3c Agree. What’s frustrating is that politicians need money to fund political campaigns. And Citizens United gives them almost unlimited amounts of it. This results in politicians who work only for their donors and not for us.
