It is WILD that we now live in a time where my job as an astrophysics professor has gone from "learn cool things about space" to "try to get someone to hold billionaires accountable for dropping shit on us from orbit"

Forgive me for sounding like an extremist, but if the purpose of society isn't to house, feed, and care for its members, what the fuck is the purpose?

The only thing that avoiding tylenol during pregnancy prevents is the release of the Epstein files.

Many studies have shown that there is no relationship between MMR vaccine and the development of autism. Here are two of the best. This one followed every single child born in Denmark from 1991 through 1998 (n=537,303). There was no association.

I climbed all three munros in the Beinn a' Ghlò range and my whole body hurts. It was 1,239m (4,065ft), took us 8 hours. This epic ridge walk was worth it 😍 We also lucked out on the weather if you ignore the -8c windchill. ⛰️ #beinnaghlo 🪐 #scottishhighlands 🥾 #cairngorms

Before I give up on it, does anyone have a schematic for a subzero SZPA-P88 PA system? Usual places have drawn a blank, and I suspect it’s not available anywhere. #makershour #maker #repaircafe #repairs #fix #electronics #paSystem #uk

The morning after the Brexit referendum, I stopped at Lidl, on my way to work. I only had 1 or 2 items, and the lady in front of me (who had a full shopping trolley) let me go ahead of her. When I thanked her, the guy behind me responded to my accent, saying "He's getting deported now we're free"

It is extremely disturbing to me that I have only seen coverage of this in smaller media outlets, none of the major ones. I know, there is a lot of shit going on in this country and around the world, but "Lynching is Back, Maybe?" is surely a big goddamn story […]

Any San Francisco kid under the age of 5 can get a free book mailed to them every month under a new partnership announced Friday by city officials and Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. The first book that all children will receive in the mail, addressed to them, is The Little Engine That […]

Is there a German word for "The feeling of putting your shorts in the washing machine at the end of summer, knowing it's probably the last time this year and it won't be hot enough to wear them again till next summer?"

Donkey Kong was released closer to the start of WWII than it was to today. Feeling retro yet?

I am drawings bats. Cuddly cute kinda bats, with a view to fulfilling a request for a bat logo for a friend. Anyone else here draw bats? Or have any hints for drawing bats … I’ve got cutesy plush kinda bat where I want it, but in my imagination I also have a manga/anime style bat shredding a […]

The number one survival skill today is to remember now who the sympathizers to the fascism are. The ones who you can never trust again, so long as you both shall live. Whatever they were before: family member, friend, co-worker, lover, matters not in the slightest. Count on zero loyalty or […]

Thinking of doing some #inktober activities to rebuild my art muscles. It has been YEARS since I’ve done creative artwork on a computer, and I’m lost. What programs do y’all use for bitmap (not vector) illustrations on macOS? #art #drawing #digitalart

I might be interested in commissioning a painting. Is there a follow pack for painters here so I can browse some of their work? Thanks!

I’ll never not be enamored with tiny trees. (It’s actually a bit or a problem, walking-pace-wise, whenever I take my camera to the forest on sunny mornings/evenings.)

I know this is a dangerous question to ask on fedi, but if I were going to install a Linux distro on what's now my Windows laptop, because W11 sounds like trouble I don't need, what would you rec and why? ty!

🔌💡 #Greensky Hi All. I've written up some notes with links to resources for anyone who wants to understand and make the case for grid-scale batteries in their community, as we did in Poughkeepsie. Feel free to share. And for the many people on here who know more than me – please help me improve it.

In June 2019, Yvette Cooper was an opposition MP, serving as Chair of the Home Affairs Select Committee. She was "appalled" by Theresa May's "red carpet" for #Trump, giving him "royal photo ops". https://x.com/YvetteCooperMP/status/1135482039577300994 In […] [Original post on mastodon.ie]

How does one learn jazz piano? I have a piano type keyboard thing and a love of jazz. I just need some building blocks to then go and noodle away by myself to see where the mood takes me.
