Has anyone here on Mastodon ever had any documents notarized via remote notarization? I've read all the rules but I'm still having a hard time figuring out the logistics...

To wit: How do you get the notarial seal and signature on the actual document that needs to be notarized if the person signing that document is not in the same room? ๐Ÿ˜‚ Do you use a Star Trek style transporter?

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious but I can't find any answers so far.

Any help appreciated.

I couldn't name a single Taylor Swift song or album if my life depended on it. Sorry.

TIL that "Blackface minstrelsy" was the "first uniquely American form of theater..."

Great...

For the record I'm a big fan of Dark Brandon, but some of y'all need to chill out. Kill your heroes and all that.

A few days ago I posted an article on LinkedIn entitled "8 Really Good Reasons to Try Mastodon,"so I figured it made sense to follow that up with a quick start guide based on my own experience with an emphasis on things that lawyers might find useful.

I think you are right that the growth here will be slower than what we've seen. X-Twitter will continue its slow decline with bursts that match his tantrums, but the other options, like Threads and Bluesky, will pick up most.

But I think that we are also not going to see the big declines that have occurred when people quickly go back. People who join will be looking for a social media alternative to X-Twitter, not a social media replacement for X-Twitter.

Maybe that's wishful thinking but it sure would be nice to have a landslide and much-needed political correction in this country. :blobcatcoffee:

For anyone still defending the Tornado Cash developers, I would encourage you to read the DOJ indictment...

1. This was always a for-profit enterprise;

2. Which means they knew they were profiting from money laundering; and

3. They went so far as to try and pump their token to maximize their profits.

Y'all need to find some other heroes to worship because these guys ain't it.

All of the participants in last night's Republican debate have about as much chance of getting elected as Yevgeny Prigozhin has of making his connecting flight in St. Petersburg. :blobcatcoffee:

Okay, fine. Now I actually feel bad for the guy, although he does get peanut butter. ๐Ÿค“

I seem to recall some time last winter when the Midwest was getting hammered with really bad storms and some folks in California were LOLing about how it was nice and warm there... on Mastodon no less.

Anyway, that just popped into my head for no reason. :blobcatcoffee:

Realizing that people who get offended, upset and angry about every little thing are emotionally exhausting.

nostr:npub1wf44gvmu4g6x0gwwjgrnlw0f8dxmvx7h929k057wwv8hwa8clq6snr94wn I was actually surprised when I saw the grand jurors names in the indictment because of course this would happen, but I guess that's required under state law...
