Great take on the nature of public opinion on the stock market.
Beautiful take from Jonathan Nicholson from HuffPo DC coverage, who has been blue checked for years, since we've been mutuals.
OK, toot (man I am not into that language) character limit? 500 characters?
Eli Lily, Bird Site, and Fake accounts causing billions of $ in damage
A fake Eli Lily account tweets that insulin is now free and stock loses immense amount of worth. I'm not commenting on the morality of insulin here. The issue is the legality — can Eli Lily sue the Bird.
Blue checks have always inferred authenticity, so suddenly introducing parody might not protect the Bird according to law people. I think this is amazing because Elon deserves all the suing & fuck Eli Lily about insulin.

@War_Kittens Fully agree - the additional info provided in a QT makes it easier to understand threads on topics I may not be familiar/comfortable with. (Not saying topics should always be comfortable, but that seeking comfort often flies in the face of empathy and anything that challenges that tendency is good, even if unpleasant).

That's quite an opening:
"Defective host defenses later in life are associated with changes in immune system activity. The means to correct immune defects to ensure immunity in the elderly are undefined. In this study, we found that CD8+ T cells, which are necessary for anti-tumor immunity in young mice, are not required to eradicate the same cancers later in life."

Imagine silencing or blocking masto dot social and depriving users of me tooting "Buttplugs" constantly.
Like why even bother with social media at that point.

In art / fandom news — DeviantArt has introduced an AI image generator into their site based on their "catalog". You must opt out, via a FORM, not just a checkbox, to have your artwork made unavailable for this tool. The checkbox that exists is only for third-party tools.
Artists, if you have art there and don't want your art included, get on top of this. I am a supporter of AI tools for personal use and inspiration, but this is vicious.

Let’s try this again. Where you at #fediverse? Boosts welcome so we can get the best sample size.
I disagree mightily that quoting is one of The Main Issues as to why things are terrible #there and not here. I think that for certain kinds of accounts — ESPECIALLY accounts that do outreach, quotes help because just boosting something may not give your readers the context they need. YMMV.

There's nearly zero #slash written for #TheMatrix films. What the actual hell? There's nearly none for #JohnWick. 
Like. Are we not writing slash for action films now? Is #Inception a bug in the system, lasting 12+ years now? Are #TomHardy and #JosephGordonLevitt just magic?

In honor of Carl Sagan, born #OTD in 1934: Here's the original Pale Blue Dot image, taken by Voyager 1 gazing back on the solar system in 1990, along with Carl's reflections on why it mattered. https://www.planetary.org/worlds/pale-blue-dot #astronomy #SciComm
