#Twitter thought. I realized that a lot of people do not understand what a healthy happy relationship with social media is. A general thought / reply to a popular upbeat account is "You make this place bearable". Why on earth do you need to be someplace that isn't bearable to begin with? And now with Elon platforming and endorsing DeSantis, I have to wonder if they realize just how complicit they are in putting money in both of their pockets. This is bad for individuals and for society at large.

@electrek Simone Gertz built the best one so there's no need for them any more.

@krishnadraws Same here. At the moment I have two mastodon addresses, so I'm feeling overwhelmed. And my urge to be social has been halved. Ugh.

I thought it might be fun to put my Mastodon bio into Midjourney as a prompt. This is what it came up with:

Midjourney 5.1 AI Art

@Gigi_QueenOfNuttin How about backstabbing? Had it done to me by a real professional. In my own family no less, over two decades!

@Shanitoba The lovely presentation doesn't hurt either.

@shawnwegner Oops.
If only we'd had some warning this might happen.
Oh. Yeah.

30 tons of explosives company's ammonium nitrate lost while on rail transit.

Ammonium nitrate itself isn't explosive, but it's the base component in explosives. It's heavily regulated due to the dangers it presents to the public. https://www.rawstory.com/train-accident-ammonium-nitrate/

Dammit. This sounds so fun! I wish they'd let me go. 😥

@Stegasaurus thanks! It came back. Probably service.

@PaulMurphy There are server tools that can report on status. I don't have those links handy.
But if you can't access your server directly then there may be a problem (ddos, malfunction, etc).

@haydenthorne 😄 I love doing alt text. Thank you

A truly amazing and exhaustively cited act of investigative journalism by the phenomenal @zinnia

It turns out that virtually ALL of the sham "science" behind the anti-trans movement can be traced directly back to a very small number of purely ideologically driven "doctors" citing one another over and over again to try to give the impression that standard evidence based trans healthcare is controversial.

It's basically the scientific equivalent of writing a blog with nothing more than your own opinions, your friend writes an article citing your blog, another friend writes an article citing both of you, and then showing up in front of public health boards saying "see, here's 3 articles showing how I'm right!"

In any normal and reasonable political environment, these quacks would be laughed out of the room with such flimsy "evidence". Yet because the far right has captured statehouses across the country, they're laundering this junk science into "real" science.
