I bet my girlfriend that this picture of our cats could get 10 billion boosts on Mastodon.
She said she doesn't believe me. She said there's only 13 million accounts on Mastodon. She said there aren't even 10 billion people on Earth. She said it concerns her that I struggle so hard to comprehend large numbers.
Let's prove her wrong everyone. Boost away and show her just how awesome the Mastodon community is.
I am so amped up about SAG-AFTRA joining the WGA in fighting the comic-book-villain levels of malevolence coming out of the studios and streamers! BURN IT DOWN LET’S GOOOOO #WGAstrike #SAGAFTRAstrike #UnionStrong #eattherich
@lucifargundam having another flare up today in fact!
I am so very over this SCOTUS. Ugh.
submersibles
@magicaltrout The hatch (and windows) on Alvin taper so they seat more tightly the deeper you go. My photo of the hatch from inside is blurry (I was pretty damned excited!!), but it looks like there are some fasteners on the inside. Bolts on the outside sound like a Very Bad Idea. The passenger sphere is designed to be detachable from the rest of the sub and positively buoyant so the only way it wouldn’t be able to get to the surface is if it was wedged underneath something.
A Washington Post article suggested flammability concerns, which is terrifying and speaks to your Apollo 1 parallel…
@scalzi with the assumption that Krissy will need new power tools to sculpt that topiary: YES.

As much as I loved Andor and my #StarWars tv series, I can wait until the #WGA strike is satisfactorily over #strike #WGAStrike #WGAStrong
Showrunner Tony Gilroy Ceases Producing Services on ‘Andor’
#Unions are SO IMPORTANT. Here’s to a successful #WGA strike and a fair contract that recognizes and compensates all of the crucial creative work that writers do to make the things we love!! #UnionStrong
Picard ep 10
Also the closing bit with them being so happy….I think there might be something in my eye….
Picard ep 10
Kinder, gentler Worf is my absolute favourite. I LOLed at him falling asleep on the E-D bridge. ❤️ #picard
@microbeMinded glad to find you over here since I have deleted Twitter! Happy belated birthday! Hope you and Mel and your kiddos are doing well. I’m reading “I Contain Multitudes” by Ed Yong and what should I see in the notes but a PNAS paper about zebra fish that you co-authored! I love actually knowing a science rock star.
Picard s3 eps 3-4
Finally catching up with #Picard. Never did I think I’d hear an F-bomb from Captain—er, Admiral Jean-Luc. (Loving the writing in this series. I mean, Worf offering chamomile? An LOL moment.)
@magicaltrout …you are not wrong… 🤦🏽♀️
@scalzi As a microbiology professor: can confirm!
(My PA seemed glad that he didn’t have to argue with me this week—I preempted him when I said “I only want antibiotics if the strep test is positive”.)
