  • The search function is nice and really appreciated. But, from my experience, the biggest problem with Mastodon is how much work you have to put into curating a feed, something traditional social media has done some of the work for you. I mean it’s fairly simple once you get the hang of it, but a lot of people are used to having their hand held.

    Also, I’m not looking to piss people off, but I think in terms of the users on the platform it is extremely progressive, and non-progressive people will be less likely to engage with that.









  • The dude knew, he wrote about it in his book, and his story falls apart at least as far as not knowing about it until recently.

    “It kind of felt like a formality, as I’d been a part of the family for more than a year at that point. Since I was already over the age of eighteen and considered an adult by the state of Tennessee, Sean and Leigh Anne would be named as my ‘legal conservators,’”

    As for money, he was in the NFLPA, which should mean that he qualified to use their “qualified financial advisers” and the fact he hasn’t raised a fuss about anything money related except the movie, that leads me to assume they weren’t skimming off him. The whole thing is a fucking mess, but I am not convinced they did anything wrong nor am I convinced they are innocent. But, I think pubic opinion claiming they are evil is a bit premature since his book says he knew.




  • I just don’t see how she is going to be able to try all 19 at one time. She was surprisingly nice to allow them over a week to turn themselves in, they must turn themselves in by noon on Friday the 25th unless they are on a no-fly list or something, that’s a lot of time for them to try and slink away.

    The document leak from early today is going to give them something to grasp onto and scream about though. This entire indictment is a giant fuck you to all those slimy attorneys he surrounded himself with that encouraged the fake elector’s scheme.

    Edit: I also don’t see any way she is going to get this trial started within six months.


  • This entire case looks like a city that hates they were investigated by a reporter. Things I’ve read include that the paper was thrown out of a public event because the DUI person didn’t like them. The City Attorney that is not releasing the affidavit used to get the warrant is the owner of the hotel the DUI person runs their restaurant at. The only person not part of the newspaper that had their home raided was the lone city council member that refused to give the DUI person a good review to the liquor board for her license. The sheriff was looked into for alleged past crimes… it all reads like a city that is pissed the newspaper looked into them, they didn’t even run the DUI story and were apparently still looking into the sheriff so a story hadn’t come out yet.




  • Donald sped this timeline up, his attack on former Lt. Governor Duncan saying he shouldn’t testify is the most likely reason they kept the courthouse open late and ran the rest of the witnesses today. It was also pretty much a forgone conclusion this was coming when that paperwork accidentally came out tonight, I’m interested in how these 10 charges differ from the charges that were leaked earlier today.

    EDIT: From what the reporters asked the DA when she announced the charges, what was on the leaked document is the same as the indictment handed down. That means somebody at the clerks office must have jumped the gun.
