... and that's a damn shame.

'The only contemporary setting in which small research groups really seem to have a fighting chance at the cutting edge is when they’re (i) extremely well-funded with (ii) access to state-of-the-art core facilities in (iii) an intellectually lively environment and (iv) little to no teaching hours attached. That kind of setting is vanishingly rare.'

Why would anyone pay for a blue checkmark when it might only prove that you paid for it?

If it formerly verified your identify, why would you continue to pay for it?

I feel sorry for the legacy verified users who are now tainted with the suspicion that they merely paid to appear verified.

People of the Fediverse, many of my #Twitter friends are still stuck there, because they fear #Mastodon is too hard, or too isolating, or just too much trouble. Can you suggest one introduction or explainer or guide that I should point them to, in hopes of helping them across the divide?

"The ruling took effect immediately and applies nationwide. It affects dozens of potentially lifesaving preventive health care services that the federal government recommends, including drugs that prevent H.I.V. transmission and screenings for adolescent depression."
