New: I talked to Trump Media investors about their shares' value getting cut in half. A tree remover in Oklahoma who bet basically his whole nest egg told me, “This isn’t just another stock … I feel like it was God Almighty that put it in my lap" https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/04/14/truth-social-investors-faith-trump/

With Threads' entry into the fediverse, I'll be posting and playing around with two accounts now.

This one, on Mastodon.social: @drewharwell

And this one, on Threads: @drewharwell

How are y'all planning to do it?

Scoop: Trump Media's co-founders — big former Trump boosters from "The Apprentice" days — are suing the company, claiming Trump and his allies are trying to cut them out of their shares, now worth ~$300M

Lawsuit could imperil Truth Social merger — one of Trump's few financial lifelines after ~$500M NY fraud fine

New: X has now for two days blocked all searches for Taylor Swift, one of the world's biggest superstars, during a very newsy weekend for her, because it couldn't stop AI-generated sex images of her and had no other ideas. A blunt and desperate measure to accomplish a basic content-moderation task - made tougher since X, under Elon Musk's leadership, fired 80% of its workers and most of its "trust and safety" team
