‘You just can’t control yourself’: Judge threatens to kick Trump out of courtroom
While "former president" is a correct title, the media should really use "petulant man-child" instead. Far more accurate .

"Sniff the cod" This is a typo right? I don't know any better, but I had a good laugh.

what are your silly character ideas?
Borrowing an idea from a friend:
A halfing that grew up believing he is a great and powerful wizard. His parents could never talk him out of it before he left home. So, being a wealthy family, they sent a troupe of stage hands to protect him and his imaginative little mind.
Mechanically speaking, the character is a wizard. However naratively, all of his spells involve his troupe. Magic missle? One member for each missle brandishes a knife and stabs the target. Levitation? The troupe lifts him on a platter and carries him around. Presdigitation? A costume change, or a member rapidly cleaning the mud off of the targets boot, etc...
The halfing will never acknowledge the existence of the troupe. After all, they're stage hands. No one is supposed to see the stage hands...

Elon Musk's Twitter takeover being probed by SEC
Why does every post of this clown have a picture of him cosplaying as Dr Evil? If newsrooms can attach unflattering photos of Zuckerburg, they should be able to use unflattering pictures of Musk.

GOP’s Jim Jordan fails again on vote for House speaker as frustrated Republicans search for options
Forgive my lack of knowledge. Is it possible for another party to come in and replace the Republicans? I realize that's likely not feasible assuming that both parties are well stapled by their voters, but I am curious about what the next steps are if they cease to function.

Does any form of multi-fediverse account type of thing exist?

Honestly, I feel like the answer you're looking for is a federated single sign on app. The real challenge will be building the right tools and community mindset for determining what a "trusted" instance is.

We do, and it really depends on the entire team being ethical to make it effective. If you have an unethical boss, they'll just go find someone else to implement their ideas.

Sure, I'll agree that they did break down. Everything does at some point or another. Back then it was easier to repair your equipment and you had the right to. That's why they were "built to last"
Then, as time passed, that changed. It became difficult to find the necessary parts for repairs.
Example: My father is a heavy equipment mechanic. I'd say somewhere in the last ten to twenty years, his suppliers started to refuse selling specific parts he needed because he's an independent.
He also described to me how some jobs he takes today feel like he's handling a bomb. If he so much as trips a stray sensor, a representative from the machine's manufacturer will come sniffing around the yard to catch him.
Then there's the knowledge required to perform the necessary repairs. The common sentiment I hear from people is that it's cheaper to replace than to repair. They're not wrong, however this way of thinking demotivates the need to learn how to repair it.
So yeah. Those built to last machines have broken down. Knowledge and parts for them have become difficult to acquire, however an enthusiast willing to put the time in to repair them will have a machine that hums for the rest of their lives.
