Porque no los quatros?
RUFKM? Maricopa County will not report any additional votes tonight; they'll wrap up and report them all Monday.
Democratic candidate for Arizona attorney general Kris Mayes leads Trumpist candidate Abe Hamadeh by 850 votes out of 2,590,823 ballots cast.
There'll be an automatic recount, but they need to finish counting the votes the first time before that can begin.

Today is #TransDayofRemembrance when we honor and remember trans lives taken by violence. How horrifying that a deadly attack upon the LGBTQ+ community in Colorado Springs should occur right before this solemn day.
Hate isn’t born in us. It is taught. It must end.
This starts with our political leaders, who must cease their cynical attacks against our community before another attack occurs.
Call out the hate. Remind them of its consequences. Hold them to account.
From Maricopa: "There are an estimated 1,200-3,600 remaining ballots to be counted. These include the final early ballots to be cured, provisional ballots and Election Day ballots.'
Joe Hill, IWW, Oct. 7, 1879 – Nov. 19, 1915 "Fire — go on and fire!"
The copper bosses shot you Joe,
they killed you Joe, says I
Takes more than guns to kill a man
Says Joe, I didn't die
Standing there as big as life
Smiling with his eyes
Joe says, What they forgot to kill
went on to organize!
I never died, says he

As many have pointed out, Twitter serves as today’s “digital news wire” and recreating that is essential to a competitor platform’s success. Only if news organizations migrate to Mastodon (even if they keep posting on Twitter) will the platform truly grow.

A warning about deactivating your birdsite account
Your Twitter handle can be registered by anyone 30 days after deactivation. If impersonation is in your threat model, lock your account and park it.

important advice for leaving twitter
don’t deactivate or delete your twitter account unless you’re happy for someone else to get your username and perhaps post “as you” after the grace period, or sooner — with sinkboy who knows

Here’s an interesting fact: Trump’s Twitter account just came back online and it has only 2.8 million followers. If memory serves, this is down from more than 80 million when the account was suspended. What explains the more than 90 percent decrease? Is it that a huge number of his followers left? That they were purged in bot purges? That they were fake to begin with with?

The guy who complained about bots on the platform used a poll knowing full well that bots would vote to reinstate 45.
I don't recall every tweak I made to the email config, but this helped

This helped in sussing out the correct S3 bucket policies
Setting up a mastodon droplet on Digital Ocean was fairly quick and easy (just took some fiddling w/ email & Amazon S3 settings)

And we know what a stickler Trump is when it comes to following federal regulations and ensuring shareholders’ rights are upheld
Mayes: 1,254,096
