@mariapopova I just passed this to a friend who is struggling. Timely.

@joshuafoust not enough critique of social media. Imagine @molly0xfff work on web3 but focussed on socials. Oh frick, why am i posting this?

Inspired by a remark from @mrssoup and the final release of all Sherlock Holmes work into the public domain, here’s the pitch: a Muppets THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES with Daniel Craig as the only human, playing Holmes. Kermit is Watson, Miss Piggy is Mary, Fozzy is Lestrade. Tell me you wouldn’t watch that 😃

The web is a wonderful space of infinite possibilities. Don't let billionaire oligarchs and their right-wing funders and acolytes destroy your hope for an equitable, livable, and meaningful future. You are the web.
Take care of one another. Build futures where we can all thrive and find meaning and value in our lives and our interactions. Ban billionaires. Destroy white supremacy, misogyny, and the patriarchy. Forward the post-capitalist revolution. Be who you aspire to become.
Happy New Year!

This month I created a version of my Gaia DR3 hot star density map using a Tolkienesque fantasy theme, with star density mapped as forest, dust as mountains and hills, and prominent HII regions and open clusters as towns, cities and other structures.

Here is a link to a zoomable version: https://gruze.org/dr3_fantasy/

@joshsternberg The Roxie in Vancouver is doing this.... still tough to get ppl out ... despite great offerings!

@DrRitaMc you here? I've got a hernia here, next steps?

So I wrote this yesterday, and lots of people like it, but I'm kinda of frustrated at all the cynicism of people who IMMEDIATELY insist "no it'll get ruined" or "normal people won't do it" or "most people don't care" or whatever else.

Stop being so cynical. YOU have a chance to help make it a better future. Instead of whining about how it won't work why not try to help make it work? https://www.techdirt.com/2022/12/21/why-would-anyone-use-another-centralized-social-media-service-after-this/

@mtrkdjoyce k

I've got a lot to say. Feels nice to speak into the void without supporting spaceman. Gonna work this zero follower thing hard...
