@fluffykittycat @Parasite the Economist is economically illiterate, and has been for some time (it's also transphobic AF). It's just recycled right-wing journalism tropes. With inflation at the moment it is quite clearly being driven by an increase in prices at the point of supply (due to higher resource costs), not by wages going up too much, but the Economist is so economically illiterate it doesn't even grasp that very basic concept.

Austrian merchant, amateur astronomer and selenographer Rudolf König died #OTD in 1927.

Such was his interest in astronomy that in 1906 he built a private observatory on top of his house in Vienna, equipping it with a double Zeiss astrograph with which he carried out many observations of the Moon. In 1912 he published a volume of illustrations of the Moon made by his deceased friend, the draftsman and selenographer Johann Nepomuk Krieger. via Soc. History of Astronomy

Someone criticized me for doing self-promotion. I'm sorry, but if I don't promote my Patreon then who will? George Takei? I don't think so. George seems like a great guy, but he is very busy saving democracy and verbally destroying wannabe fascists. It pains me to say it but George might not have time to promote my silly little facts.

1) Pseudonym support.

Attention dumbasses: stage names and pen names have been realities of the business of being an artist for over 2,000 years.

Creators are not shoe salesmen.

The most basic functionality of any platform that intends to support *creators* earning money online – the basic, rock-bottom, sine qua non affordance – is people doing business using pseudonyms.

What that ACTUALLY means is the platform has to allow creators (the people who charge money) to be PSEUDONYMOUS (to use their stage name or pen names) in all of their interactions with their patrons (the people paying the money), AND the platform, which is legally required to know the legal identity of the creator and have on file their relevant tax ID numbers (e.g. SSN in the US), needs to keep that legal identity CONFIDENTIAL.

Wonderful #Brexit

I’m starting to realize that the race war the right wing has been pining for is actually going to be a war between the dumb white race and the dumber white race. Let the Republican presidential primary race begin!. 🏁

Move over AI. Meet the REAL apocalypse. It’s over human race!

These allegations from #BriannaGhey's friends of anti-#trans bullying would seem to contradict the police account.

RIP #Brianna. May your memory be a blessing.

Today I spoke with a representative of #KidPower https://www.kidpower.org/

-- a child safety organization teaching child protection and personal #safety skills to adults and children to prevent #bullying, #abuse, abduction, and other violence.

The organization is worldwide, but banned in #Russia by #Putin -- the bully-in-chief.
