Hello #Fediverse! We're calling from a new server. Please boost and help this toot travel through the fediverse so we can federate as far and wide as possible.

WeRemember.social is a mastodon instance for a culture of #rememberance. We want to improve the visibility of and networks between initiatives and individuals who are keeping the memory of the victims of fascism alive.

Any areas of record cold for the year-to-date average? #climate

Transphobia isn't funny—even if Netflix thinks so.

Antisemitism isn't funny—even if @NBCsnl@twitter.com thinks so.

Another design consideration re: Mastodon is that it works well for ephemeral asynchronous communications, but for many reasons should not be counted on as an archival resource. Media attachments are periodically purged and may not be available after a week, or a month, etc. While some servers may try to preserve content forever, this may be costly and unsustainable. Creators, researchers should treat this as an ephemeral resource and make provisions for self-archiving anything important.

I’m just a Gen Xer playing computer games in my basement. 🤟 I can’t believe this really worked. They really don’t build them like the used to. “Does it boot?” Yes, yes it does!

MSNBC: Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) has been reelected

If Nevada is called for Sen. Cortez-Mastro, as so many of us expect it will, it would mean Democrats walk into the GA runoff with control of the Senate.

Thank you, organizers. <3

Not sure how #Andor can so good while #BobaFett was so bad.
Then again, Episode 4,5,6 vs. 1,2,3.

This, from PNAS reviewing instructions, is actually pretty good:

"The purpose of peer review is not to demonstrate proficiency in identifying flaws."
