@dichotomiker @freemo Nazis didn't persecute only jews. They persecuted and killed people that didn't think the way they did. Even people of their own nationality! They didn't care about the truth. Eugene and his staff show the same behaviour when they block people without given them any justification and the chance to defend themselves. I'm not saying he is a Nazi. I'm saying he isn't fair nor honest in the way he deals with others.

There's a huge #thunderstorm here in #Carmarthen - the lightning strikes seem to be temporarily blanking out the FM radio signal in a way I've never experienced before. Our power is fine but for a good ten seconds the music on the radio stops. The background static continues and nothing else in the house is affected!

On the picket line (in the rain) this morning trying to ask uni's for better conditions, pay and pensions for uni staff. Hard to see how we will retain staff or encourage students this is a good career choice if things continue as is. #ExeterUCU #UCURising #UCU #FalmouthUCU

Cottingham: Europe's biggest battery storage system switched on - https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-humber-63707463 excellent news; more please... #RenewableEnergy

I'm blocked so I cantt correct Rich... but who is going to tell him that he is lieing (or misinformed).

We have clear rules about child porn as is shown below. I was asked but someone about it and at the time we had never had to address it so I mentioned tthe moderators would need to vote to get it added to our rules.. moments later we voted and added it... Naturally the person lied and posted out of context about the vote and never bothered to let people know we updated our rules moments later.

As to his comment about kiwifarms.. lets be clear. I saw a list on a website whose domain name was not associated with kiwifarms as far as I knew.. it just so happened that list was generated using a tool that happened to be written by kiwifarms... obviously I didnt know this.

This shit is getting absurd...

Anyone remember when they told us Brexit would reduce immigration, and improve the NHS? Instead we've got the highest rates of immigration ever, a collapsing privatised NHS, a crumbling economy, worst growth in the G7, and a dying democracy

Hello world (and universe)! I'm a #space journalist from #Canada who writes about #spaceflight, #rockets, #astronomy, #StarTrek, #NASA and whatever else is trending that day.

I recently got to talk to an #astronaut about cosplay, of all things. That was unexpected. https://www.space.com/european-female-space-station-commander-2001-cosplay

My favourite stories cover #diversity, #stem and other ways to make our universe a little bit more inclusive.

I am blundering about here on Mastodon as a beginner ... but believe in showing others that learning and growing at any age is a good thing. :)

In my spare time I enjoy #archaeology #history #libraries #gaming ... and I'm also a beginner #python coder, because why not.

Drop by and say hi!

Here's a snap of the picket line at #Swansea uni earlier this morning, lots of solidarity honks from passers-by and just before we all got drenched! Glad to stand with colleagues to defend pay and working conditions for all academic and professional staff. #UCURising

To celebrate the 163rd anniversary of the publication of Origin of Species today, the Darwin Correspondence Project at #CambridgeUL has published the full edition of #Darwin 's correspondence online! Explore more than 15000 letters, from Darwin's first letter in 1822 to his death in 1882.

Much as I like physical books, it's really exciting to have the collected correspondence now full-text searchable:

So aparantly me and @koyu@koyu.space along with one other have been banned from teh #mastoadmin e-mail list.

I wont say much other than to judge for yourselves, I think what I said and the evidence I presented speaks for itself.

Here is the full transcript, including accusation of being alt-right in the moderator ban.. all emails, unedited.

These are your admins people, these childish morons.

You are a pain in the ass Jeffrey. And you made a lot of unwanted contact about that situation. So I understand that many people and admins are fed up with that. But... (it's my opinion)

The right to be emotional about, and fight against false accusations, defamation, and unjust treatment, is far more critical than other people's "feeling of peace".

Women can be angry and it's not 'reverse sexism'

Non-cis people can be angry and it's not 'anticisideology'.

POC can be angry and it's 'reverse racism'

And QOTO admin can be angry about unjustified accusations and it's not 'harassment'.

(It's my opinion)

Giving Mastodon another go thanks to Elon. Since my last intro toot I've now got the PhD and I'm now living in Aotearoa (New Zealand).

I'm currently working with a citizen science project collecting remote camera data in forests where I've processed the images using MegaDetector to remove empties then put it on DigiVol for them.

Besides that, I'm mentoring a serious game project about nutrition for kids here in NZ. Exciting things are happening in Ōtepoti Dunedin in the serious games space!

📢 Back on strike against the degradation of our working conditions: severe cuts to pensions; casualisation, precarity / contract insecurity; multiple inequalities; overwork & pay. This is a sector-wide dispute across UK #HigherEducation supported by an unprecedented mandate through a recent vote #ucuRISING #UCUstrike

BREAKING NEWS:

Pauline Hanson refuses to shop the Black Friday sales, she will wait for the White Friday sales! She is quoted as saying “white sales matter” continuing “I’ve had a gutful of politically correct, transgender oriented, racially decisive and discriminatory sales” 🤷‍♂️

"We live in #capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. #Resistance and #change often begin in #art, and very often in our art, the art of words."
