Breaking: The porn industry complains that Twitter changing its name to X sullies the industry’s brand.

Apparently the most sound psychological advice you'll get this weekend is to not watch "Oppenheimer" and "Barbie" on the same day. Seems like that would be self-explanatory, but just in case. the various Barbenheimer memes are cool, though.

I made a thing! Every Scottish castle that's on Wikipedia mapped.

I'm neither a coder nor a web developer so this was quite a challenging project for me, but I learned a lot and it was fun.

Just a warning, the map's not great on a mobile because some of the pop-ups are quite large.

Hi everyone! I'm a computational chemist and a drug discovery researcher. I'm currently doing an industry postdoc at the UT MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. Looking to connect with fellow compchemists and drug discovery researchers here.

Good Morning
Happy Sunday 🖖

You need to read this gorgeously written article about meltwater and accelerating ice loss in #Greenland.

Glaciologist Alun Hubbard writes about how meltwater rivers are fracking the ice sheet and deteriorating its internal structure as water pours through. It's both new research and a broad look at the forces speeding up Greenland's ice loss.

The #photos and #video from inside the Greenland ice sheet are pretty mind-blowing.

Reading about people trying to post to #Twitter, #BlueSky & #Threads along with #Mastodon — and that doesn't sound like fun at all.

I'm so glad I settled on Mastodon as my only social media platform back last December — and have seen no need to revise that strategy. I've had time to focus on Mastodon & build a nice community of familiar folks and ones new to me. I have what I want: a chronological timeline filled with a variety of interesting, engaging stuff — provided by people who support and encourage each other.

“You, boy, what social media website am I posting from?”
