Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #melonhusk, aggregated by home.social.

  1. #FoxNews asserts Team #Melania still lobbying furiously for firing of late night #ABC network TV comedian #JimmyKimmel over "expectant widow" joke. Latest efforts involve #WhiteHouse comms team demanding boycotts of TV advertisers.

    In a post via #MelonHusk #socialmedia attributed to the first lady, Kimmel was termed a "coward" and #FirstLady demanded "ABC to take a stand."

    "His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America. People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate"

    The #FCC is reportedly trying to review & revoke #Disney's ABC affiliate broadcast licenses, since Prez #Drumpf called for Jimmy Kimmel to be fired over a week ago.

  2. Its is no longer simply US taxpayers paying the price for #FarRght Extremist Fallacies From #WhiteHouse...

    While #Europe is losing nearly €500 million a day due to rising fuel costs alone brought by the US created conflict in the #PersianGulf...Iran has walked away from negotiations while the US thinks its strategy will cause Iran's oil infrastructure to collapse due to lack of ability to store the excess #crude.

    Across the globe the sudden oil shortage is pissing off US Allies, ranging from far eastern countries like #Thailand & #Bangladesh on to #EU president von der Leyen who told the #Hague last wk that in just 60 days of US driven conflict, “our bill for #fossilfuel imports has increased by over €27 billion, without a single molecule of additional energy”

    On April 26, 2026 #DJT told #FoxNews #Sunday Briefing the goal of USA shutting down Iranian oil wells was to trigger production shutdowns of Iranian #oil and cause their pipelines to explode from pressure...

    The US administration’s belief that their bullying blockade will simply destroy Iranian resolve and infrastructure, and trigger immediate economic collapse, #hyperinflation, and global shortages, has also been echoed by #NewYorkTimes, which recently repeated creepy claims from U.S. officials stating that Iran's oil wells “cannot be turned on and off, and they would be damaged if they are forced to shut down,” and arguing that these risks will force #Iran to the table to quickly “make a deal to avoid such long-term problems.”

    The US President echoed this strategy last week on #Foxnews
    “What happens is that line explodes from within. Both mechanically and in the earth, something happens where it just explodes, and they say they only have about three days left before that happens,” Drumpf said “And when it explodes, you can never rebuild it the way it is.”

    Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, went on #MelonHusk's X platform to claim “IRGC Leaders are trapped like drowning rats in a sewage pipe,” adding that “Iran’s creaking oil industry is starting to shut in production thanks to the U.S. BLOCKADE. Pumping will soon collapse. GASOLINE SHORTAGES IN IRAN NEXT!”

    Iran simply disputes these assessments, saying they have far more capacity for oil and the western propaganda is always "trying to sow fear among the Iranian public"

    “Iranian oil fields, wells, and pipelines aren’t going to explode from being shut down,” assures Robin Mills, of the Center on Global Energy Policy.

    “It certainly is a major gamble from the Trump administration.” said Brett Erickson, a sanctions and geopolitics expert of strategic consultancy firm Obsidian Risk Advisors. “They better be holding all the cards as they say they are, otherwise Iran is going to beat us on the river card, and the entire world economy is going to pay the price.”

  4. Upscale #EastBay suburban hamlet must pay $120,000 to settle case brought by a persistent projectionist , "#solarpunk novelist" and Mastodon user @AEMarling arrested in 2021 for being an alleged "public nuisance" after beaming portable political imagery onto #SanRamon #CityHall.

    Marling is perhaps best known for his caustic commentary targeting petty #Twitler #CEO #MelonHusk with viral projection takes including “Space Karen,” “Lawless Oligarch” "Mediocre Manchild" and other critiques on the #American oligarch's corporate #SocialMedia HQ outpost along #MarketSt in #SanFrancisco.

    Originally after being cited, Marling's attorney assumed the small suburban city would return his projection equipment and drop charges, but angry officials retained "outside counsel and private attorney to act as prosecutor, and they prosecuted this to the bitter end” which prompted the case to continue for years as Marling counter sued the bedroom community in #federalcourt for alleged violations of his #FirstAmendment and #FourthAmendment rights, as well as false arrest, among other legal claims that personally named city officials and #police personnel who pursued the charges. Named in Marling's suit were #CityAttorney Martin Lysons, city manager Joe Gorton, ex top cop Craig Stevens, current #PoliceChief Denton Carlson, Sgt. Michael Pistello, Officer Rick Gonzalez, pvt attorney Lance Bayer and city employee Karen McHenry-Smith. The first alleged criminal conspiratorial act by the local govt occured when petty police lied in their report about the spot where Marling even had the projector, claiming it was propped up against a traffic light on a sidewalk rather than placed in a landscaping bed.

    From there, and even after an acquittal in an actual local court for the bogus citation, Marling filed a complaint alleging numerous civil violations, including of the First, Fourth and 14th amendments and the #CivilRights Act, as well as false imprisonment.

    Marling said he hopes the legal #settlement discourages crackdowns on #activism in the future.

    “For the police to try to detain in this fashion is illegal — I wasn’t violating any laws,” Marling said. “I guess you could say it was a slap on the wrist to try to encourage cities to not do this.” We only got to this point where the city finally "settled" and agreed to pay #legal costs and admit no #wrongdoing after years of #litigation.

  5. Former #FiveThirtyEight data editor George Elliott Morris, who was #laidoff in a #pollster purge along with all his staff last week at #ABCNews noted in a personal post on #MelonHusk 's X platform that a decade of their past poll #analytics work has been deleted from public view.

    #Disney owned news network "has now fully taken down the old 538 archives, including all interactive projects since 2014." Adding this insult to injury of his job loss, he called disappearance of their #archives "totally unacceptable and a real betrayal of the public."

  6. Something I just figured out:

    “We tested the system with 8 million concurrent listeners earlier today.”

    Is testing just a few hours beforehand enough time to do anything to scale up, if they found the systems were insufficient? Can you locate, rent/buy, and setup enough additional virtual machines in only a few hours? Especially given that Elmo fired 90% of the original Twitter employees? Remember also Elmo became notorious for paying Twitter bills late.
