To have a viral post on Mastodon is to be confronted with a long series of people asking the exact same question or providing the same “well actually” response, for days, because of the limits of federation. They simply can’t see those other replies. Sometimes they see *no* ofher replies, if they’re on a tiny server.
The experience isn’t great! As with customer service, it can be hard to remember that this isn’t actually the same person over and over again.

The physics suggest that a carbon capture technology that uses the ocean might be the only way to make carbon capture economical. There's just much more CO2 per liter of water than per liter of air, and ocean surface is an enormous, effective atmospheric CO2 capture mechanism. So I'm keeping my eye on technologies like this https://medium.com/predict/mit-may-have-just-developed-the-ultimate-climate-technology-37c10791e69b

If you have a parrot and you don’t teach it to say, “help I’ve been turned into a parrot” you’re wasting everyone’s time.

Over 9.7 million people using Mastodon now. It is hosted on over 22,000 servers, but like with email, everyone can communicate with everyone else.
Since no one person or company owns those servers, no one person or company can buy them or break them. #Mastodon #TwitterMigration

My husband was given a bird feeder with camera for his birthday recently and it's proving very delightful...
Anti trans laws
You don’t have to be a trans ally to recognize how horrible a state-forced transition would be. Imagine how horrified you would feel if your body now were slowly changing into the wrong gender from being pumped full of the wrong chemicals, and you were forbidden to do anything to stop it. Doctors that could help you turn away.
Would it help any to know that your own glands were the source of the chemicals? I can’t imagine that would make me feel one bit better!

I watched the youtube clip where Scott Adams did his racist star turn, and another where he "explained" himself.
It seemed clear that he knew he would lose the strip. He was quite deliberate about it.
More like a career move than an outburst. Planned cancelling.
Not the quiet part said out loud, but the loud part delivered quitely and calmly.
