Whatever. LOL!

Arthur Anderson was part of the Big 6.

We're down to the Big 4 for a reason.

@dgar
And Trump's cheating off Hitler.

@Nonilex
Musk does nothing but fight public transportation.

Thank you, @WIRED, from a former government auditor myself. Elon is not auditing. He's looting.

An audit follows Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards and the results of the audits are publicly available.

I like fidgeting. I shake one leg. I click pens. I pop gum. I snap my fingers. I open and close the battery cover on remote controls until they break. I open and close the stapler on my desk. I put the staple remover on and finger and squeeze it over and over. Most of these things I notice I'm doing well after starting and it doesn't feel good to stop.

@not2b @petergleick
Exactly. They want to profit off it.

@aral
Cost might come into play as big tech has discounts for schools and nonprofits.

Roger Ailes had a lot to do with Fox's success and his goal was to build a right wing propaganda network that would prevent another Nixon from resigning or being successfully impeached.

#Slate's #SlowBurn podcast did a good series explaining how Fox was built to be what it became.

Hey, #Utah!

We have a Mastodon starter pack here: https://fedidevs.com/starter-packs/

If I follow you, but you're not in the pack, either your account settings don't allow me to link to you (see the FAQ https://fedidevs.com/faq/) or I don't know you're in/related to #Utah.

If you're on this list and not in/related to #Utah or don't want to be on the list, please tell me and I'll remove you.

If you are in #Utah and want to support #LGBTQ and specifically #trans people,
#TransVisibility, and #TransJoy, sign up with #ProjectRainbow.

Even if you don't have a yard for a flag, you can donate to the community fund and/or volunteer with the project to put up and take down flags and/or help at events.

This is real, local action you can take to fight back against the effort to eliminate trans people in our community.

As a #USU #Alumnus, I am again called on to denounce my university.

No, it's not about a coach saying raped students lie or a series of cases where USU failed to follow #TitleIX. This time it's about the whole of Cache Valley being told to attack a person living on campus because she dared to take an RA job.

I lived in Merrill Hall. I remember how accessible the units are. I remember repeatedly having to lock our front door because my roommates had just popped out for a minute and there was a guy going around trying the locks in the all women residential hall.

I am furious and embarrassed that USU, Utah legislators, and the weirdo ex-cop who's made a living on LGBT hate and antimasking in a pandemic.

Maybe focus on your actual threats to safety, USU. You know, your unending rapes and domestic/intimate partner violence on and off-campus. Not a young woman just trying to live her life and not harming anyone.

One ignoramus from a small town can determine who gets elected in and around the entire state because of money, bigotry, and power.

"Preserving Utah Values PAC’s ads were largely funded by House Speaker Mike Schultz, under whose gavel many of the Democratic lawmakers targeted by the ads work, according to a disclosure filed Saturday — more than three weeks after the election."

From @sltrib:
https://www.sltrib.com/news/politics/2024/12/26/anti-trans-laws-kera-birkeland/

"In July, Birkeland was hired as director of policy for the Montana Grain Growers Association, although she never disclosed the hiring in her required conflict of interest disclosure. Her next disclosure would be due Jan. 10, the day her resignation takes effect. Montana’s legislative session opens Jan. 6, 2025."

Good riddance! I'd bet she only ran to be sure her seat stayed GOP, as she's had this job since July.

Watch out, #Montana. She's made her name on hate of trans people and school children and she's got her eyes on your House.

Pay attention, #Utahns. This is your Senator trying to increase massive climate pollution for his oil and gas buddies.

You can look in your car's owner's manual to turn off as much as they give you the option to.

If your dealer adds a GPS, you can ask them to remove it.

If you live in some states with consumer protection laws, you can opt out through the individual manufacturer pages provided in this @eff article:

@gwynnion
LOL!

@dalias @VeroniqueB99

They're about attacking and excluding anyone who doesn't pass as feminine or masculine enough. They're about enforcing gender norms regardless of cis or trans.

@Kierkegaanks @Benaresh @hannu_ikonen
Yep, the Dulles brothers were beyond Bond villain evil.

#BehindTheBastards did a series on them, if you like podcasts.
