Just had a request for a "Share on Mastodon" button for a blog.

As far as I know there's no official "Share on Mastodon" button, but there are several third party options.

If you've used a "Share on Mastodon" button on your site, could you give your recommendations/experiences?

This is *not* the way scientific papers typically begin:
_________________________

We are running out of time. Ecosystems across the planet are being destroyed at an accelerating rate. The life sciences – once a field dedicated to the study of living systems and our interactions with them – are increasingly becoming sciences of the dead. Up to one million species are currently threatened with extinction, many of them within decades.
_________________________

It's a very good sign, however, an indication that at least some scientists are now ready to speak boldly and unequivocally about the greatest emergency our species has ever faced.

Interesting article about how the #physics degree should look like in the future - to be able to help tackle the world's social, environmental and economic problems: "Building a physics degree for the future: five key questions we need to answer"

I'm fine with people disagreeing with me on subjects - and if I learn something from that disagreement, it's actually a net positive. What I hate is when people assume the worst of someone else for not sharing their view on a subject that doesn't merit it, or are just nasty for the sake of nastiness. You know what? That's pretty minimal here. Thanks, Mastadonians

@BrentToderian Lately I've seen drivers (in the US) going at least 10 (16kmh)mph over the posted speed limit in all speed limit zones, from 30 mph (48kmh) zones to 75 (120 kmh)mph zones. One car passed us going at least 100 mph (160kmh).

It doesn't surprise me at all that pedestrians here are dying at a higher rate.

12. Would the United States be better off with an $850 billion military budget (instead of $858 billion) and much less homelessness? What about increasing compensation for teachers?

These are all legitimate debates. But these debates are not happening.

This is what we get when authorities start taking over software: blocking connectivity disguised as security features.
