The Common Sense Skeptic released a video several hours ago exploring a fascinating old concept called The Star-Raker from the 70s. And there's a lot more information there. But they also, again, called out that SpaceX's Starship launch would explode - which it did, while I was watching their video. These guys have consistently called out Elon Musk for years and they've been right every time.

I'm gonna keep posting this until one of you fucking boosts it

"Putin bears responsibility for the suffering of millions of people, from Ukraine to Syria to Georgia. But the first victims of Putin’s abuses have been Russian citizens themselves." thebulwark.com/my-friend-the-t

"Sadly, there is nothing broken about what we’re experiencing: The system is working exactly as intended. We are all now living, and dying, with the consequences." @ryandbusse on the long slide toward irresponsibility in the gun industry: thebulwark.com/even-the-gun-in

Cool! @Flipboard is now curating news on the Fediverse with four topical “desks”. They are:

1. @NewsDesk
2. @TechDesk
3. @CultureDesk
4. @ScienceDesk

What’s sold me on this concept is that this news is curated by humans—not bots!

Yay for hand-picked news!

It’s funny when you see people who have tons of followers on social media complain about the bozos who show up in their replies. Some days, their timeline is nothing but call-outs.

I hope people realize that popularity invariably brings along exposure to morons and bigots. You don’t have to spend your energy responding to them or describing them to your followers. The most appropriate response is often to ignore them. You don’t have to turn every doofus into an object lesson.

Anyway, I mute people who do this, and check in again in a week to see if they get better.

@dekkzz76 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@arielwaldman @dgoldsmith A majority of people are really addicted to attention from their "followers". The moment they look at Mastodon, they realise that their "popularity" means almost nothing here and that's a big reason why they stay there.

To those that say only the privileged can afford to leave Twitter, I argue that it is far more privileged to ask your audience to join you on an immensely hostile and hate-filled platform. This is not ok. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/20

@dekkzz76 I agree. 👍 I rarely ever tend to make mistakes like that but it has happened sometimes when I'm distracted.

if i had one #chatgpt #ai tip to share it would be stop treating it like google

I can sympathise. I think we fast readers tend to look for patterns and gloss over obvious mistakes such as a few missing letters.
