Everybody in the industry is throwing their hands up in the air wondering why #journalism is dying.
Meanwhile, everyone I know has cancelled their subscriptions to major #newspapers because they keep running stories like "This Millenial Firebrand is going to Interview this Right-Wing Hatemonger so we can capitalize on the death of a trans teenager!"
Joe Biden is an engaging, intelligent person with a sense of humor and the experience and temperament to be President, as we’ve seen. Trump is a nightmarish, unhinged criminal who wants to rule over America under his fascist dictatorship while he knocks off enemies with no repercussions if he feels like it.

Just once I'd like to see a #Batman movie where he falls thirty stories with two innocent lady scientists clutching him and just at the last moment, he fires his grappling gun up, it latches onto an appropriately gothic beam, the line goes taut, and Batman's fucking arm is ripped clean off in a cloud of blood and viscera because that's what happens when you fuck with the laws of physics.
Bingo. The trick, as it turns out, is to start with an octahedron (although any uniform polyhedra should work, including a cube, but an octahedron just requires a point on each axis, so it's easiest to spawn). Since you want a uniform, edgeless surface, you need to start with one. Can't build it outwards like you can in a bounded 2D volume, so you have to build it inwards.

Quite the indictment of our financial system that there's nearly $4 billion in capital tied up in a shell company that is going to merge with the money-losing social network run by the insurrectionist conman who keeps racking up hundreds of millions in court judgments against him.

Everyone blames AI for this, but I'd love to see the usage stacked up against pointlessly streaming the same episodes of Friends over and over on Netflix.
What the fuck? #LawFedi, isn't this very unusual? I thought the bond was required for appeal...
Holy shit... what if #mastodon's so-called "reply guy" problem is actually caused by the lack of quote toots?
If I want to disagree with someone who is an expert in a related field, I would be much better off quote tooting. That's a way to register my informed disagreement for my own followers and branch the conversation to a place where the original author has far less of an obligation to reply; whereas a direct, public reply would be seen more as egging on the OP or (if they're a woman) even "mansplaining".
Yet another idea that I prototyped and abandoned because I couldn't afford to pursue it.
It's infuriating to see people with better connections be able to do with money what I cannot do with passion alone.
Couldn't find a #Delaunay triangulation implementation that could do what I needed it to in C#, so I wrote my own.
Got a 2D proof of concept working in just a couple hours with nothing more than a skim of the wikipedia article on the math, so I'm pretty happy with that.
Just need to expand it to work on a spherical surface now, which should be an interesting challenge.

Lmao. The lawyer in this #SCOTUS case is arguing that the moderation and sorting algorithms aren't expressive.
If that were true, I'd have no problem signing up for Truth Social.

High risk of rants, especially with the lack of character limit.
