@jamesgleick@zirk.usThis story should be leading the New York Times right now, and every other US newspaper. It’s not, because they think, well, Trump’s crazy, that’s not news.

@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caInteresting article here talking about, in a sideways kinda way, how the (#Mastodon based) truthsocial dot com server was having trouble keeping up with Trump and/or his followers last night. Was there perhaps a small attack on the address? Or maybe it was suffering from its own success and couldn't handle the traffic generated from its own high post count. (The known self-DDOS probl…

@bodhidave@mstdn.socialI did my 48th(!) intensive #meditation retreat last week, and I hear in Hironari's post something that resonates for me—how much contemplative practice is about a profoundly simple engagement with the living truth.
And I'm reminded too of a line in the 1981 movie "Chariots of Fire," where the Christian sister of an Olympic runner is concerned about him practicing on Sun…
@cdarwin@c.imDonald Trump's Truth Social is set to become part of a publicly traded company after a long-delayed merger was approved.
On Friday, a shell company created solely to buy Truth Social's parent company, Trump Media & Technology Group, approved the merger, The New York Times reported.
👉Trump's net worth is set to jump more than $3 billion from the deal, based on his large stake in the social-media platform he helped create in the wake of his post-January 6, 2021, Cap…

@mlawton@mstdn.socialPost-match narratives are always interesting. Chelsea were .5 xG better, with 5 big chances to 1. Did they bottle it? Were they wasteful? Or were Kelleher and the #LFC defense superb?
I've decided if you switch one hypothetical, the thought experiment shows some truth. Had Chelsea scored, as expected -- had Kelleher not gotten all of Palmer's shot, or Disasi not missed a gaping net, what…
