Well, if you absolutely must categorize people along some dimension, this is much more meaningful and useful than race.

Compare that daguerreotype with this recent movie, from the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, showing the highest-resolution images of our Sun ever produced. Some of the details are only about 20 miles across.

Also, I’d bet my soul that #LongCovid is orders of magnitude more common than most people think because of the many people I know who almost certainly have it, only a handful have been willing to make even a tenuous connection between their post infection health issues & Covid.

Not sure how to answer. Was a daily user of Twitter for 15 years. Daily user of the Fediverse for 5 years. I quit using Twitter 3 weeks after Elmo took over and saw the results.
It's that time again, that fateful day before April 2, 2019 when Google shut down Google Plus.
Raise a glass to the greatest social network the Internet has ever seen.

Want to know something interesting about the #TwitterCode release?
Lots of people are zeroing in on this section of `HomeTweetTypePredicates.scala`, because it proves that Twitter 1.0 was factoring political alignment on a user-level into the timeline mixing algorithm.
Nobody knows what weights are assigned to these attributes, but them being there shows the algorithm must have had some kind of bias, right?
Guess what.
Those lines were added *after* Elon bought the company.

Meanwhile, over at the other place, Twitter is suspending official public health agencies.
@AfricaCDC is a public health agency of the African Union (africacdc.org), and is doing essential work.
I think it's time to cue up this song.
