According to that article, the story was fabricated by a man selling books about biblical fantabulism and also had a side business selling precious metals. I would guess gold coins and bars.

The man knew his marks… err, audience.

@LeNouvelEssai @nargas On dirait les jounaux télévisés et leur « source : internet » pour pas citer les sources.

Today would be a great day for @robertfkennedyjr to resign

Well they were talking about the instance (probably wrong) rather than the bot accounts (possible).

Also, is a 2 day ban really worthy of an indignant post like this?

“Alberta May Adopt a US Health-Care Billing System”: not just a “US-style” health-care. Danielle Smith wants the *actual* US health care billing system. She really is the worst, and I hope someone is really looking in depth at her finances. https://thetyee.ca/News/2026/11/09/Alberta-US-Health-Care-Billing-System/

Who's Dean? ONLY JOKING Dean is the best of us. We're very lucky this lovely man is part of this lovely community. 😊❤️

Have you considered https://givin.gifts? They see themselves as the unofficial successor of redditgifts (they even let you import redditgifts gallery posts back when they were still online). They opened their Happy Holidays 2026 signups a couple of days ago and any premium user could also create a custom fediverse Secret Santa exchange.

I took part in every givin.gifts Happy Holidays exchange since redditgifts shut down and I’m happy with it. If there are any problems with your gifter, their team is really invested in smoothing things out and getting you a rematch if needed.

It reminds me a little of the old internet. I like how relatively small it feels, and that people post content for the sake of the content, not to promote themselves. I haven’t found my usual corners yet, the ones I used to hang out in on older platforms, but I figure that’s just a matter of time. I’m not super nostalgic for the old internet or anything, but it’s nice to find at least a hint of something human-centered somewhere.

I hope it doesn’t fall apart and that it keeps growing.

I was skeptical when I switched to Linux, but then I ditched Windows on my dual boot for good. It was a hugely positive experience, and it really felt like freedom. I’m hoping this will be the same.

And don’t be mad at me if I act totally clueless here sometimes 'cause all that is new to me.

@the_etrain This MEANS something.

@TheBreadmonkey Same tho, he’s kinda great 👍

Blumenthal publicly declined to voice support for Schumer within the past day.

@verge The PlayStation Plus PC app shutdown is a reminder: access lasts only as long as the platform keeps the door open.

I am somehow quite sure that Jensen "honey" Huang already has a presidential pardon in his pockets. #NoSarcasm

@farbenstau Could be, but her name is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Llama_(language_model) with the letters inverted.
