I just received some amazing news. Something big is about to happen, and just reading the email got me excited. And terrified. And filled with joy. And (positive) fear. And anxiety.

For now, I can't say anything, but I'll share more as soon as I can 😉

I undertook a similar exercise (finding hosting providers in friendly jurisdictions) recently, but with slightly narrower requirements (e.g. permissive of anti-Zionist speech, permissive of pornography, etc...)

I found a few providers not listed at your link too.

Your CDN shares their data with Meta (Facebook). More to the point, they share it with a company, that Meta has such close business dealings, I'll not be surprised if we buy them.

Your hosting provider is a reseller, using Amazon. whoishostingthis.com

This is why, I have been developing a list of Non Us Domain Extensions on the Fediverse.

They may be able to monitory the Fediverse, but at least they may not have their authority, everywhere.

I also have been developing a list of digital service providers, outside Us-jurisdiction, too. Because it is important, that people be able to find things, such as web hosting, not subject to Us Laws.

Bill Burr eviscerated Elon Musk, calling him a Nazi who “accidentally” Sieg Heiled *twice* at Trump’s inauguration. He mocked liberals for not fighting back, ripped Musk’s fragile ego, and torched his failing businesses. Burr summed it up: comedians get canceled for jokes, but Musk gets away with fascist gestures.

I would like to see some of this coverage discuss the scam that "school choice" really is. School choice is not about giving every parent a choice in where they send their kids it's about giving federal tax dollars to rich people to fund their exclusive private schools.

If you give a poor or rural parent a $5,000 school choice voucher their kid still ends up in public school because they either don't have choices or cannot cover the remaining tuition that the voucher doesn't cover. If you give $5K to a wealthy urban/suburban family they just got a tax break, our money went to some religious school, and the whole rich family gets a vacation to Florida with the money they saved.

I'd rather see my money invested in an universal public system that teaches all kids, welcomes all kids, and serves all kids.



Glorious video of people roasting the state of Nebraska.

Obviously, my heart goes out to the minority or Nebraskans who voted for Democrats, but the majority? We tried to warn them, and they chose to ignore the warnings. I can't save people from their own bad decisions.
