I’ve seen some concern over whether moving from Twitter to Mastodon would make it harder to track breaking news.

Since joining, I’ve learned about a Brazilian coup, followed journalists live posting the mess of a Speaker of the House vote, and tracked multiple AI and Apple centric tech stories.

I think it’s going to be alright.

Aside from many terrific film memories Sidney Poitier had two autobiographies. “This Life” is out of print but available on some sites. #SidneyPoitier #books #Mastodon #BlackMastodon #bookstodon

If you want me to stop doomscrolling, howzabout cutting back a bit on the doom?

The similarities between today's insurrection attempt in Brazil and the January 6, 2021 insurrection attempt in the United States are striking.

Officially too angry to be online today. But just so we’re clear, the terrorists— who took over the Senate, Supreme Court, Presidential palace, and also beat a police horse likely to death— are not protesters, and The New York Times can suck my dick.

So fucking sick of fragile white men; whatever they think they've got, no one's interested in buying it anymore. And I'm a white male.

150 terrorists have been sent to jail for the attack in #Brazil.

David Adler: “Evidence suggests that the Brasilia insurrection may have been planned in Florida. Secretary of Security for the Federal District is in the USA and recently traveled to Orlando — exactly where Jair Bolsonaro is currently staying. https://www.estadao.com.br/politica/coluna-do-estadao/secretario-de-seguranca-do-df-anderson-torres-esta-nos-eua/?utm_source=estadao:twitter&utm_medium=link&original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.estadao.com.br%2Fpolitica%2Fcoluna-do-estadao%2Fsecretario-de-seguranca-do-df-anderson-torres-esta-nos-eua%2F%3F #Bolsonaro #Bolsonaristas #Brasilia #Brazil #Florida #Extremism #Fascism #Fascismo

If you don't think fascists in the United States are going to base build with Brazilian fascists: they already are.

If you don't think fascists in the United States are siphoning momentum from Brazil's insurrection today: pull your head out of the sand.

Another coup is coming.

The US, Canada, Brazil.

It's a pandemic of sore losers and insurrections.

Supporters of ex-president Bolsonaro storm Brazil's Congress

Feeling triggered by Brazil.

These populist freaks need to fail, spectacularly.

Seriously, Fuck the Bannon’s, the Flynn’s of the world, and there’s most definitely a special place in hell for the man of the hour himself; Vladimir Putin.

Nothing but destruction in their wakes.

May the democracies of this world prevail.

I think the lesson to learn here is that if white guys get unlimited free tries, they can succeed.

the EU should ban modals next

especially those pesky "create an account" modals that tell you you need an account to keep reading when you can literally just click away from them and keep reading. looking at you medium.

There are a lot of private space companies who still use “manned” instead of “human” or “crewed”.

#nasa hasn’t used “manned” in our official nomenclature for ~ 20 years. It may sound pedantic, but women are still only 20% of engineering graduates - the same percentage as when I graduated.

Language and representation - think of job postings - matter.

I counted them. Feynman’s total publications were about 48 or 49 papers throughout his career. Well, it is still below for most of us yet they are very impactful, launched new areas like nanotechnology and quantum computing. I need to slow down and focus on meaningful work and publications rather than rushing to generate and compile publications.
