News flash: If you outlaw abortions, criminalize providing gender affirming care for trans youth, dictate what educators can teach in schools, and stop people from voting, you're not the party of "limited government."

Don't send any more of them and we won't shoot them down. Seems pretty simple to me.

Oof! That'll leave a mark.

Hey @icecubesapp , when do you think we will be able to take a picture directly in the app for posting? (Or am I blind and totally missing it?)

I so love seeing @icecubesapp grow new features almost daily. Reminds me of when the internet was young and gaining new functionality at a similar pace.

This is a reminder to use https://www.movetodon.org one more time before the watertight doors on the Titanic close

This just shows how insanely selfish he is. If this were even remotely true, he could literally save thousands of lives. Instead, he holds it back for political gain literally at the cost of all those lives.

@w7voa You DO know this is a joke? Right?

Anybody know if there is an official #WhiteHouse of #POTUS account on Mastodon? Is there a .gov mastodon server out there? Might be an opportunity.

Really happy to see @ivory out but I have to say, I'm still liking @icecubesapp #justsaying

Hey @icecubesapp, feature suggestion. A button at the top like the other two that loads all new toots above where you are but doesn’t scroll to the top. That way I can scroll up them from where I am. Thanks!!

Who's the cutest little power brick? You are!!! #cute #technology

“The #fediverse is like #email.”

Yes.

Now read this and understand it:

“I have been self-hosting my email since I got my first broadband connection at home in 1999 … But my emails are just not delivered anymore. I might as well not have an email server.

Email is now an oligopoly, a service gatekept by a few big companies which does not follow the principles of net neutrality … I lost. We lost. One cannot reliably deploy independent email servers.“

This is a friend who needs a service dog and is struggling to come up with the funds. (Who knew they were so expensive?) If you're got a few spare bucks this month, this would be a worthwhile place to spend them.
