<p>📣 It&#x27;s been a while since we&#x27;ve federated a batch of publishers — so to make up for it, here are 250, and they&#x27;re big ones. </p><p>Today, we&#x27;re bringing names like <span class="h-card"><a href="https://flipboard.com/@abc" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>abc</span></a></span>, <span class="h-card"><a href="https://flipboard.com/@RollingStone" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>RollingStone</span></a></span>, <span class="h-card"><a href="https://flipboard.com/@forbes" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>forbes</span></a></span>, <span class="h-card"><a href="https://flipboard.com/@BleacherReport" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>BleacherReport</span></a></span>, <span class="h-card"><a href="https://flipboard.com/@NationalGeographic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>NationalGeographic</span></a></span> and <span class="h-card"><a href="https://flipboard.com/@newyorktimes" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>newyorktimes</span></a></span> to the fediverse.

<p>Indie films like “Anora,” “The Brutalist” and “Conclave” will be glamorously celebrated at this year’s Oscars. And it couldn’t come at a better time. Bing Chen writes for <span class="h-card"><a href="https://flipboard.com/@time" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>time</span></a></span>: “With recent political and economic pressures, powerful decision makers have retreated to ‘safety’ and greenlight proven franchises. But often, these decisions result in the kind of formulaic narratives fans bemoan — even among the most dedicated franchise fans. Indie film, by contrast, has always been the breeding ground for creative expression and societal progression … stories that don’t just entertain but illuminate diverse voices and untold truths, challenging and expanding our understanding of the world.”</p><p><a href="https://flip.it/X3RKYg" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>flip.it/X3RKYg</a></p><p><a href="/tags/oscars/" rel="tag">#Oscars</a> <a href="/tags/culture/" rel="tag">#Culture</a> <a href="/tags/film/" rel="tag">#Film</a> <a href="/tags/movies/" rel="tag">#Movies</a> <a href="/tags/entertainment/" rel="tag">#Entertainment</a> <a href="/tags/anora/" rel="tag">#Anora</a> <a href="/tags/thebrutalist/" rel="tag">#TheBrutalist</a> <a href="/tags/conclave/" rel="tag">#Conclave</a></p>

<p>For those looking for a break from default reality I highly recommend this Longmont Potion Castle ‘prank call’. It’s NOT a typical prank call, it’s more like prank-call psychedelic performance art.
