Really digging how muting on #Mastodon by default is a timed activity rather than permanent.
I just can’t figure out if the time options are an API or client thing - would be nice with a one month option. Anyone in the know?
I never did an #introduction here? Five years late to the date, but better late than never, no?
Hullo! I’m a keyboard operator in #GameDev. I started professionally around 2005 and did it at #Unity3D from 2009 to 2013, where I decided to go explore on my own.
I did lots of consulting with different studios, launched a #GameAI conference, and run @framebunker with @nulldiver.
I code just about anything in any engine, with preference for AI and obv. Unity. I dig boardgaming and selfhosting.

Exoplanet ... or eggs-oplanet? 🥚
Some planets are so close to their stars that they're being pulled and stretched as the stars consume them. WASP-12b is one such doomed world. 🍳 https://go.nasa.gov/3IvnUjZ

Leonard Nimoy at a #NOW rally in 1989. His sweater reads "PRO-CHILD, PRO-FAMILY, #PROCHOICE". His sash reads "HONORED GUEST". His pin reads "HONORARY SISTER".
#LeonardNimoy was #Jewish and spoke fluent Yiddish. His parents were first-generation #Ukrainian Jewish #immigrants who fled the Soviet Union and he was born in 1931 in Boston. Jewish activists have always been at the core of support for #abortion rights.

"Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature-the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter."
~ Rachel Carson

Mysterious Antennas Are Appearing in Utah's Hills and Officials Are Stumped
City officials have found around a dozen of the antennas and no one is sure what they're for. A city official said that there were no identifying marks on the antenna and that they’d been bolted into the stone and required special tools to remove. https://www.vice.com/amp/en/article/epzwya/mysterious-antennas-are-appearing-in-utahs-hills-and-officials-are-stumped
Emergency Contraception (aka "morning-after pill") has Levonorgestrel as its active ingredient, but so do some regular oral contraceptives (with estradiol as well). In an emergency where you might not have access to emergency contraception, on a full stomach, take the number of pills which would total one milligram of Levonorgestrel, and then repeat the prices in twelve hours. We'll be doing a detailed video on this, but in the meantime, keep each other healthy, keep each other safe. 🏴🧪🔬🖤
