‘A piece of footballing art’: six memorable moments from Pelé’s career - We pick out six of the Brazilian’s most unforgettable matches, from a quick impact against the USSR to a farewell free-kickThe young Pelé knew how to make a first impression. He scored four goals on his unofficial debut for Santos. He scored one on his official club debut, his goal-tending victim, very much looking at... #theguardian

In schools, we teach science through the lens of single subjects - biology, chemistry & physics - but it’s the ways they interact with economics, psychology & more that shape our world.

Ultimately, science is related to every significant challenge we face. It’s written into the agricultural policies that sustain us. It ensures we have clean drinking water & enough energy to keep the lights on. At is core, #science is fundamental to our health, safety & future. https://sheril.substack.com/p/a-dissertation-on-democracy

Other prisoners hanged during the execution on 30 December 1944 were: a Pole Piotr Piąty and Austrians: Ernst Burger, Rudolf Friemel and Ludwig Vesely.

They tried to escape from the camp on 27 October 1944.
The escape was thwarted by the betrayal of a bribed SS guard Johann Roth who instead of driving the prisoners out of the camp, went straight to Block 11.

30 December 1944 | 5 prisoners were hanged in Auschwitz after the evening roll-call. One of them was a Polish soldier Bernard Świerczyna.

3 days before his death he wrote those words inside his cell.

"I just wanted to be human,
not a soulless digits clump,
Tie existence to the future,
and decipher acts of past
I was captured by betrayal
that placed me behind those bars,
but my honor won't be broken,
even by the killing squad."

A plea to journalists covering the Fediverse:

If you want to pitch a story and the only people you can think of to talk to are Gargron and the Journa Host admin, please don't.

Instead, use the time you saved to learn more about how this network functions, who the people behind ActivityPub are (and what that even is), who the people keeping instances running are, who the people moderating instances are; you can even get your hands dirty by digging through the Mastodon GitHub issue queue and learn why exactly some design decisions ended up the way they did, it's all right there!

Mastodon is not off-brand Twitter. You do this entire community a massive disservice by painting it as such, and you do our profession a disservice by expressing a complete lack of curiosity about this community before you report on it.

Thank you.

Remember when all cars came with cigarette lighters and ashtrays, but seat belts were kind of optional.

I cannot keep this to myself. There is a website (radio.garden) where you can listen to radio stations all over the world for free. No log in. No email address. Nothing.

When the site loads, you are looking at the globe. Slide the little white circle over the green dots (each green dot is a radio station) until you find one you like.

I have been listening to this station in the Netherlands and it absolutely slaps. I have no idea what they're saying but the music is fantastic.

It is now possible to verify your #OpenStreetMap-account on #mastodon

Via "Edit profile", copy the link at the bottom; add this link to your profile description on OSM.
Back on Mastodon, in the table with 'account metadata', add 'OpenStreetMap' on the left and a link to your OSM-profile on the right and save the changes. Mastodon will then verify your account and show the link as verified - as visible in the screenshots below.

Thanks a lot @tomhughes for making this possible.

good instances to look for are infosec.exchange, hackers.town, chaos. social, hackyderm.io, defcon.social, treehouse.systems

most of the people on those domains know a fair amount about which way to power the pineapple

these are some of the more clueful folks out there in my opinion

There are a few if us that have been working on positive horizontal social/technological solutions to the current mess for 20 years.

We know these work at local level, and after working on the #fedivers for 5 years we know this works to scale horizontal tech.

So our #norhingnew creative job is to combine these, we have a slate of projects waiting for people to implement.

Are you going to help make this happen?

@zleap @Jaden2 Renaming a building or replacing a statue is acknowledging a wrong and showing that you wish to right it. But in a lot of cases we aren't even there yet because some refuse to even discuss the history let alone act on it.

So how do you become a street medic?

There honestly isn't a simple answer to that.

You're a little bit more free in how you can obtain training and become qualified. You can go the formal route like I did, and you can take it even farther and go to nursing school, paramedic school, whatever. You can also go to informal classes and pick the brains of other street medics or people who have acted in a medical capacity during protests, riots, autonomous zones, w/e.

However you choose to get your training, two things are monumentously important here.

1. Be aware of yourself, your knowledge, your skills, and your limitations. Constantly learn and get better in a practical way, and only do medical procedures you are very comfortable with doing.

2. You will have to sell yourself. This may make formal training helpful here. Having a CPR card, a nursing/medical assistant degree, EMT/medic license may make people within your activist roles take you more seriously as someone who can handle medical emergencies.**

Street Medic Hip Pocket Class

Introduction/Pre-class.

Hi everyone, my name is Rayne. I am a licensed EMT in the state of Ohio, a long time activist, anarchist, and a nonbinary transgender woman who uses they/she pronouns.

Because of a fun conversation I had with another person on the Fedi about this topic, I became interested in possibly doing like a regular "hip pocket class" (a slang term used in the military for informal classes done during downtime) on "street medic" stuff. I did a poll and people seem to want this so here I am!

Today I'm going to be covering some basics, and this more serves as a "pre class". I have a plan to do class #1 next week, which is going to cover considerations and procedures that focus on what happens before patient contact is made.

But today I just want to go over what a "street medic" is, what functions do they serve, and some considerations if you so choose to be one or be in auxillary to one. Even if you just want to help with emergencies that may occur while doing activism, I think this class will be useful.

Please feel free to reply to me with questions and feedback at anytime.

So let's dive in!

I know, I didn't need any more tech, but there were Boxing Day sales and epic deals, so...what can I say, I caved...looking forward to streaming from my brand new gaming laptop tonight on Twitch from 10pm UK-time.

Interesting arXiv paper of the day: an amateur astronomer has written a summary paper of his discoveries in an effort to highlight how such contributions can benefit the scientific field.
