@Salon @news-politics-Salon Fuck him. He's pissed because he's so small, petty, petulant, and pathetic compared to President Carter.

@jerry Whatcha doin with all the ornaments? Or are you taking them down after a successful season?

@w7voa PFT - they better be ready to cave on everything since it requires D support and after this week's shitshow, that ain't coming cheap.

@politico @politics-politico But really, I’m sure The Orange Cheeto has no idea what’s going on in his senile old age, so really it’s President Musk calling the shots.

Via Sawyer Hackett:

Thanks to Elon #Musk and Donald #Trump, Republicans cut $190 million for pediatric cancer research from the funding bill.

Congrats to DOGE on their first victory.

A nice presidential portrait.

Flipboard’s Surf joins several existing apps designed to view Mastodon and other ActivityPub platforms, as well as BlueSky and ActivityPub.1 I love Flipboard CEO Mike MkCue’s vision of the “social web,” as described by David Pierce at The Verge with feeds superseding websites.

"“You won’t put in, like, theverge.com and go to the website for The Verge, but you can put in ‘the verge’ and go to the ActivityPub feed for The Verge.” Your ... https://mitchw.blog/2024/12/19/flipboards-surf-joins.html

Trump was gliding into his inauguration. Now he’s facing a big mess.

@newrepublic Ugh, if I have to give Trump credit for doing something good I'm gonna be ill.

@USAToday @top-stories-USAToday The title is a bit odd. Is he saying that MUSK should be JOHNSON's replacement? Technically possible, but way stupid.

@newrepublic Elon will be there in about a year once Donald tires of him being referred to as "President Elon"

So, @Flipboard did launch a tool to make discovery easier, eh? And it's a fediverse browser?

Exactly what @mike told me. Check out this article if you want to know more about the company's decentralized push: https://thelettertwo.com/2024/12/15/behind-flipboard-fediverse-embrace-mike-mccue-interview/

@PatrickoftheG @TheConversationUS I like that!

@thekenyeung @Flipboard @mmccue Also!!! They are part of https://verifiedjournalist.org :)

@Flipboard is known for being a news aggregation and content curation app, but what's behind its embrace of the decentralized web? As someone who's long followed the company, I was curious about this play, so I sat down with CEO @mmccue to find out. 🧵👇

@politico @politics-politico the title is a bit on the nose

@TheConversationUS was a teacher for exactly one year. When I was told to teach exactly what is prescribed to make sure my kid's passed end of the year tests, I clocked out.

@TheConversationUS I have had it. Works really well in conjunction with other therapies.

@Salon @news-politics-Salon trump can consider it all he wants, it's Congress who controls that, and there may even be Constitutional questions in there.

@w7voa It's like he's actively trying to destroy us!

@samhenrigold they could convert it to basically a web app I'd think, but the bigger issue is that they'll not be allowed to operate in the US or process US bank transactions (I think). That would be the larger issue if that's accurate.
