Aw, it's almost Monday.

Pls help me find friends on #Mastodon by boosting this #Introduction. I am a retired attorney with a wide range of interests / obsessions including: #GermanHistory #GermanLiterature #USSR #RussianHistory #RussianUkrainianWar #China #Philosophy #PoliticalPhilosophy #continentalphilosophy #19thcentury #20thcentury #MilitaryHistory #War #InternationalRelations #Law #Economics #cosmology

@EggKnees @bibliotecaria In 1948, a fan wrote into Astounding Science Fiction magazine with reviews of the stories from the November, 1949 issue, more than a year in the future.

The editor ran with it, and solicited stories with those titles from the listed authors, then published them in that issue.

Clearly, someone needs to do this with a ChatGPT reference list.

Putting people out of work is the Fed’s means of reducing workers’ bargaining power and the “upward pressures on prices.”

But fighting inflation by putting people out of work is cruel, especially when America’s safety nets - including unemployment insurance - are in tatters.

If you are in San Francisco, consider shopping at Rainbow Grocery. They were hit by flooding and could use the support.

It is a worker-owned collective and has a lot of great stuff. The cheese department and bulk spices alone are worth the trip.

Inspired by a remark from @mrssoup and the final release of all Sherlock Holmes work into the public domain, here’s the pitch: a Muppets THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES with Daniel Craig as the only human, playing Holmes. Kermit is Watson, Miss Piggy is Mary, Fozzy is Lestrade. Tell me you wouldn’t watch that 😃

Making Battlestar Galactica (1978)

Facts are facts.

Why is Josh Hawley still in the Senate two years after provoking a deadly insurrection against the U.S. government? And why hasn't Trump been prosecuted yet?

Dear friends, as of 31st of January,
I will be laid off from my current role. if you need;
any design work please do not hesitate to get a quote from me or refer to me, doesn't matter how small or big the project is.

Thanks in advance.

If you’re at the right place at the right time, with the right equipment, this is possible.

Last night, with guidance from https://transit-finder.com/, I positioned myself along the narrow line where the International #SpaceStation would pass between me and the nearly full moon.

I used a Fujifilm X-T4 shooting 4K video through a Celestron 8” SCT to capture the pass. Then, back at the computer this morning, put together these views with PIPP, Registax, and GIMP.

Quite pleased. My best yet.

@arclight @bitsavers I'd love to see a book about how MBA ideology took HP from a world-leading engineering firm to little more than a overpriced printer-ink scam.

I need to make a list of Twitter bots that haven't shown up here, and contact their operators. I'm willing to do the work of creating mirror accounts (probably on botsin.space) with permission.

But there are also lots of people who are still there and not here, or if they are, they didn't advertise their move in a movetodon-friendly way.

It's launch time! 🚀

I'm gonna keep posting this until one of you fucking boosts it

I realize I have not yet had a proper #introduction. So with the New Year, here it goes...

I am an associate professor in mathematics-economics at Aalborg University in Denmark. I have a bachelor's in #mathematics, given my love for making logical arguments. Wanting to understand the news, I got a master's degree in #economics, which later got me into doing a PhD in #econometrics with a specialization in #timeseries. My research interests are #climateeconometrics #datascience and #greenfinance

Based off of ElonJet N628TS, it would suggest Elon Musk has not been to SpaceX's Starbase for nearly three months. Most often the jet is in San Francisco before the Twitter takeover it was rarely there. This would suggest Twitter is a significant distraction to Tesla & SpaceX.
