a side point in this tweet: Greta Thunberg had to confirm that this is indeed her account on a different platform because doesn't have a verification system. I am new here but this strikes me as a problem going forward.

Republicans have a compelling partisan interest in securing Elon Musk’s control of a leading communications hub for journalists, and have responded companies pausing their ads on Twitter by threatening the firms with political retribution. mediamatters.org/twitter/gops-

Early Warnings for All Action Plan unveiled at COP27

"The estimated new targeted investments of US$ 3.1 Billion over the five years would be used to advance the four key Multi-Hazard Early Warning System (MHEWS) pillars:

Disaster risk knowledge (US$374 million) - systematically collect data and undertake risk assessments on hazards and vulnerabilities
Observations and Forecasting (US$1.18 billion) - develop hazard monitoring and early warning services
Preparedness and response ($1 billion) - build national and community response capabilities
Dissemination and communication (US$ 550 million) - communicate risk information so it reaches all those who need it, and is understandable and usable

The plan identifies key areas for advancing universal disaster risk knowledge, and outlines the priority actions required to achieve this, building on the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction."

@juddlegum I don’t quite understand why he is being given so much attention. obviously someone with terrible views and not arguing in good faith. why humor him?

bam! was surprisingly hard to figure out after the first guess. bot says there were 6 possibilities left but most of them were rather weird words.

@magicaltrout @ambihelical good question. would like to know that too. quoting toots doesn't seem to work. well sort of. it converts quoted toots into links. LaTeX formatting doesn't seem to work at all in the ios app, it just shows the LaTeX code. but that is not really surprising.

Hard to separate the broader Twitter Blue strategy from the reality that Elon Musk spends a lot of his time on here looking at his mentions and would probably like all the top responses he sees to be from sycophants willing to pay him money.

Watching Musk flail around, alternately threatening/alienating advertisers while threatening/alienating long-time users of Twitter ...

.. I'm thinking of an essay I wrote last week about how Musk is remarkably unsuited to manage something like Twitter ...

... because it's a social system, and thus way more complex than the physics systems (orbital space, cars) his companies have worked to master

Or as I put it ...

whoa, I just learned that I can use LaTeX in posts. thank you @ambihelical for the link with all the extra features of qoto.
To test that, here is something I encountered once in a calculus class
