Me trying to explain mastodon to my friends and family #newhere #fediverse #blackmastodon

Hi Bay Area,

I have an electric bike (thanks Aventon Bikes ) I need to donate to a local charity. It's a bike I reviewed (https://wsj.com/buyside/electronics/best-electric-bike-f1b7128d) so it's mostly new. Hit me up with some charities that need an E-bike.

Thanks!

Happy Opening Day to all who celebrate. #Baseball

When people say gun violence is a mental health problem question them about their strategy to provide mental health care for every American

I cannot understand why a man who is literally nothing but ego cannot grep that ego and vanity via a verified badge are what your "famous" users use your platform and thus get others to use it. Verification was never really about verifying you were who you said you were, it was always about ego and vanity and now he's killing that part and going to drive away the actual famous people even more. And sadly, they won't come here.

Well, it happened. Schools in Florida under Ron DeSantis are run by the type of parental mobs The Simpson's satirized more than 30 years ago.

E-Bikes are such an incredibly game changing technology. We should be doing everything we can to encourage their adoption!

Given the divided government, I’m not holding my breath that this will actually pass this time around, but I’m glad to see congress hasn’t given up on it entirely!

Nate Silver's brain seems to be broken. The "data guy" is literally citing a Twitter poll as if it's meaningful in a political context.

No wonder ABC News is trying to sell off FiveThirtyEight.
