Lucid analysis of how Twitter and Threads are fighting for a space of recommendation of content. People like us on Mastodon are looking for a chronological timeline that ensure creators reach consumers, without being hidden by the latest algorithm change due to commercial needs https://stratechery.com/2023/threads-and-the-social-communications-map/?access_token=eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsImtpZCI6InN0cmF0ZWNoZXJ5LnBhc3Nwb3J0Lm9ubGluZSIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJhdWQiOiJzdHJhdGVjaGVyeS5wYXNzcG9ydC5vbmxpbmUiLCJhenAiOiJIS0xjUzREd1Nod1AyWURLYmZQV00xIiwiZW50Ijp7InVyaSI6WyJodHRwczovL3N0cmF0ZWNoZXJ5LmNvbS8yMDIzL3RocmVhZHMtYW5kLXRoZS1zb2NpYWwtY29tbXVuaWNhdGlvbnMtbWFwLyJdfSwiZXhwIjoxNjkxNjY5MjczLCJpYXQiOjE2ODkwNzcyNzMsImlzcyI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXBpLnBhc3Nwb3J0Lm9ubGluZS9vYXV0aCIsInNjb3BlIjoiZmVlZDpyZWFkIGFydGljbGU6cmVhZCBhc3NldDpyZWFkIGNhdGVnb3J5OnJlYWQgZW50aXRsZW1lbnRzIiwic3ViIjoiMmtaM013MnU4cXpkdktHaHVMc2p6RSIsInVzZSI6ImFjY2VzcyJ9.jUHtj8GON6xZRPlnhv8AkRgu5kaDTG-nN8ws0G-awf0WGAsXHwO8KhSri-zlXjJhImzXcg53B1M9NhF5yuwdTk0IWvtj3RuFjJVkk-mL0Mj8kvD7skzQJipWLpSLUCJW7C-_qzxMZP2eRWz8gjeITl6zvb21zB7qH1viOLjqUcZk9sdmmS43Hh7TF0lP5-vAdxO0to7f7pX-hhxA511v1e_pd4kYqrNsBKjYOhugDGB23iC3dk1JJNxmsXH9i2NELbGR5hwYoVtCCbQNrrRb_wm0vyuS_OOwMGahQNkDLUETreoEqW2ab9cnbWivHFP0dKjSspAP6UBgfm1sza5yzg&utm_source=pocket_reader

Edward Charles Pickering was born #OTD in 1846.
In 1882, Pickering developed a method to photograph the spectra of multiple stars simultaneously by putting a large prism in front of the photographic plate. Using this method, Pickering and his team at Harvard College Observatory, captured images of over 220,000 stars. via @wikipedia

Not a bot; a rather corpulent male approaching fifty years of age; married; father; a very very slow reader; barely reaching up to the level of mediocrity; an ignoramus who reads occasionally.
Toots are humanities, sciences, books and maps related. Toots or follows or boosts or mentions ≠ endorsements of any particular notion or notions. Expect many typing errors.
Addendum: for those wondering, I do not physically resemble a fountain pen.
