   UPDATE: The Deputy Director of CAIR, Edward Ahmed Mitchell came on Twitter to respond to complaints and state that the CAIR apologizes and says the awarding was a "vetting oversight."

   Mitchell says that the CAIR board plans to meet on Monday to discuss the matter.

   As of yet, CAIR itself hasn't formally commented, nor has it revoked the award.

   I have to be honest and say, I don't even know what a "judgy host" and how it can matter.

   As you can tell, I am actually using a "corporate" host, run by the Vivaldi browser people as I was already using the browser.

   I have run into a few judgy people and sometimes they are correct, I should have alt-text on my pictures, but no I am not an expert at it and sadly it is not a super high priority for me to get much better at it. I have totally been dumped on from time to time for expressing unpopular opinions, but that is par for the course.

   Oddly, one of the things I have been attacked the most for is when someone complains about Mastodon, and I make the mistake of saying, "You can really make your Mastodon experience anything you want it to be, have you tried (X,Y,Z). I have had people go absolutely ballistic on that.

   And here I am saying the same thing again. I'm a slow learner, I guess.
