The cellular-bananular phone changed my life. I still sing it to this day
Modern astrophysics exists because a house fell on a teenage orphan.
Who as a result got adopted by a prince.
He got access to a royal lab for glassmaking.
Then he tried fixing color aberration in his microscope lenses.
Then he noticed the rainbow had holes in it. Huh.
Then he died. Glassmaking and tuberculosis are fast friends.
Then Bunsen invented his burner, which made spectra that matched the rainbow holes. Huh.
Now we know what stars and planetary atmospheres are made of!
Especially with Project 2025 (day one after the election of the next GOP candidate). The executive branch will no longer be controllable by the other two branches. Also, Schedule F will allow all "policy-related" government workers to be rescheduled as fireable employees, allowing the Prez to install loyalists throughout the entire government. It's definitely time to freak the fuck out.
And for trying to pull the group along, as futile as it may be.
srsly what the fuck
I think they might mean independently 🤷♂️ Otherwise, the answer to your question would be "The United States."
That must've been tough to do. You have the respect of at least one internet stranger 🫡
In terms of dialogue, you can't beat Street Epistemology
This is one of the reasons I practice atheopaganism. It's psychologically helpful for me to be tuned to the natural, annual cycle. It gives a rhythm to life that's separate from the more artificial, civil-labor thing. It also inspires gratitude for some of the little complexities of nature I wouldn't otherwise notice.
Something from Nothing
How is it a wide broom
One end fixed, the other free
Could sweep a circle
And another of the same
One end fixed, the other free
Could sweep another
Could clean less together
by working alone
or by squarish fix
No more straw
Nor force besides
Together, working side-by-side
Greater than the sum of their parts
Whenever I click a YouTube link in Boost, I get the following message. Clicking one of the options does switch to the YouTube app, but I can't view it inside the app.

This sounds a lot like my own journey. Almost identical!
Hijacking The Brain and Connecting With The Natural Self (without magical thinking or supernatural beliefs of any kind)
EDIT: We’re going to attempt to organize a larger logo and spread the word further around various Fediverse services. I get that a lot of y’all are opposed to visiting over there. I'm pissed too, which is why I spent a lot of my day helping write “Fuck Spez.” I don’t think we’re going to contribute to Reddit’s revenue much, and I think at the very least sending a VERY public message that the Fediverse is here is a good thing.
What do y'all think about these books and authors?
I may be biased as an "exvangelical," because they helped me transition out of that fucked up worldview and rebuild another (along science-honoring lines) but I'm curious to hear other opinions.
We really shouldn't take this Meta thing lightly.
They could offer the slickest interface and keep people locked to their friends. That interface can use protocols that make it difficult/impossible for non-Threads instances to play ball (ooh this cool new feature is only available through the Threads app; Oh, mybasement.world.ml.xyz can't read that content). There are many ways to Embrace, Extend, and Extinguish, we've seen Meta do it before (e.g. XMPP), and I'm sure we haven't even thought of some ways Threads could EEE.
I think defederation from Meta's instances is probably our only option to protect what we have.
Reddit never opened its chat for third party apps, and is now stripping those apps further. Would anyone else appreciate it if some Lemmy clients would include a Matrix integration for chat?
