@psychictides no one but you has said Americans are comfortable with this. This construction that to oppose something you need to oppose everything that's like it is yours. I condemn the Tiananmen massacre. Any inferences about my views on the US based on that statement is entirely a figment of your imagination
@psychictides what "troubling questions" does it raise exactly? Engaging in whataboutism raises it's own set of troubling questions, such as who or what is to gain by silencing critics of an authoritarian regime, but we don't have to go into that
@psychictides because showing support publicly for something doesn't require you to publicly show support for everything that might be related.

The first climate model that estimated how the world might warm in the future was published in 1970.
That model, as well as ones published in the 1970s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s, have done a remarkably good job predicting what actually occurred in the years after they were published

Twitter is now begging some employees who Musk laid off to come back.
Some were apparently laid off by “mistake,” others were let go before management realized that their experience was crucial to build the new features Musk envisions. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-11-06/twitter-now-asks-some-fired-workers-to-please-come-back #tech #technology #news #media #journalist #elon #twittermi #twitterefugee

I thought the emoji button at the top right corner of the toot box was your average whatsapp emoji menu but it turns out it's much more like Discord's with lots of custom emojis
Look all these chickens!

Risks of Reinfection
"In sum, in this study of 5,693,208 we provide evidence that reinfection contributes additional health risks beyond those incurred in the first infection including all-cause mortality, hospitalization, and sequelae in the pulmonary and broad array of extrapulmonary organ systems. The risks were evident in the acute and post-acute phase of reinfection."

Reminder if you are migrating from Twitter: put your Mastodon handle in your Twitter bio so tools like Debirdify can help you to find people and help them to find you!

We are currently experiencing some technical difficulties after firing half of our staff.
Please be patient, and consider using another social media platform if you have troubles connecting to #Twitter.

KEEP IN MIND! #Mastodon doesn't work like #Twitter!
Have you just made the #Twexit or the #TwitterMigration?
Favorites ⭐ - they're not "likes". They don't "elevate" posts, they just the poster know you liked their post.
Boosts 🔁 - these push someone's post into your friends feeds (and help discovery).
So if you ⭐ my posts, that's great (and I love you too)!
But if you 🔁 posts, then more people see them!
OH! - #Hashtags are how you search!
