I made a slight diversion from I-90 several years ago to see the "world famous" Corn Palace. As Gary Farmer said in Jarmusch's Dead Man, "the eagle never lost so much time as when it stopped to talk to the crow."

It is also home to the Dakota Wesleyan University Tigers and the Mitchell High School Kernels basketball teams.

Wait, and you think this makes it better?

Here's the guy spending tons of his own money trying to persuade credulous rubes that the 2020 Election was fraudulent and their government is illegitimate. WHAT A JOKESTER! HA HA HA HA!

It's got that Richard Nixon on Laugh-in quality.

And, to my untrained ears, a million bucks in hardware for a social-media platform that hopes to compete with Twitter seems horribly underfunded.

I've been told that the replacement costs for the MDF room equipment in a small elementary school will cost a minimum of $500K.

However, if they expect for this site to get any sort of real traffic, do they realize that they will have two main points of failure: the site itself, and its connection to the greater Internet. In my understanding, high traffic sites have to contract with service sites to provide adequate bandwidth, even if you don't care about things like redundancy, load balancing, security, and Denial of Service (DOS) protection. And if they ever get anything resembling social media working, the site will immediately have target painted on it. Talk about a honey pot: crackers must be salivating at the idea of getting the database of the users stupid enough to surrender their credentials to this site.

The database for this site is especially attractive, because all the early users had to enter validated mobile phone numbers. Easy enough to doxx all the more violent nut jobs as a result. This site will give up its secrets even faster than Parler did.

Did anyone here give out their personal cell # when it was open for pre-register 'VIP" access? -- actual cell number, not a TextNow or similar disposable free #.

The video platform Vimeo has “terminated” the MyPillow account of Mike Lindell, the company’s CEO and a friend and staunch ally of former President Donald Trump. As of Wednesday afternoon, when users click on pages for the “Lindell Management” Vimeo account, a “Sorry, we couldn’t find that page” message appears for where MyPillow and Lindell content was once hosted.

“This is worse than what Twitter did to me and my company!” Lindell said in a brief phone interview on Wednesday. “This affects my business, the Lindell Recovery Network, and the entrepreneurs who I work with.” Lindell also sent The Daily Beast a screenshot of what he said was an email he and his team received from Vimeo on Wednesday at 12:36 p.m. ET, and it reads, “Your account was terminated for violating Vimeo’s Terms of Service…and Community Guidelines. We do not allow accounts that upload content created by or mainly featuring a banned user. As the purpose of your account is to promote content from a banned user, it has been removed. We wish you the best of luck in finding a hosting platform better suited to your needs.”

Lindell has been a key financial backer and advocate for pro-Trump efforts to overturn President Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election. In the time since Biden’s inauguration, he has stayed in touch with Trump and has also been embroiled in a legal fight with Dominion Voting Systems.

A Vimeo spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Wednesday afternoon.

“Your account was terminated for violating Vimeo’s Terms of Service…and Community Guidelines. We do not allow accounts that upload content created by or mainly featuring a banned user. As the purpose of your account is to promote content from a banned user, it has been removed. We wish you the best of luck in finding a hosting platform better suited to your needs.”
