Hubble took a bunch of great pictures of Jupiter that got made into a flat stretched-out map of the entire planet.

The headline is that the Great Red Spot is (still) shrinking, but actually I just love looking at this rectangle. It's like a flag of Jupiter!

The FBI is (lying) claiming they can't unlock the Dayton shooter's phone because of its passcode.

They're going to take away the free Internet sooner rather than later.

Got three more piercings, nose ring and one additional in each lobe.

- An unknown unknown number of “women’s health problems” are caused by doctors only prescribing one hormone (the entire history of medicine is about lazily refusing to study “women’s” health in-depth)

If I had money I’d place a lot of bets on current medical “mysteries.”

- Much obesity is untreated fatigue misinterpreted as hunger
- Many things that claim to “improve sex drive” in women (trans&cis) just improve pelvic floor stability

I'm not stockpiling food (I mean, canning for next year, but that's different and yet I'm conflating them anyway). Not buying guns or building a shack. Just planting fruit trees and thinking about how I'd deal with particular shortages. Like, what do I do without prescription painkillers that keep me from killing myself if supplies of obscure meds are iffy? And that seems simultaneously insane yet responsible?

Imagine thinking that 🍑 spaces aren’t uniformly magnets to the worst sort of people who will gleefully organize violence against marginalized groups.

@SelfsameSynonym I'll just say it right out (and forgive me for saying the magic words aloud)

"free speech" is a concept that's completely rotten by now and someone needs to put a bullet in its head. it's a bloodstained idol now, not a legitimate social or political ideal, and I wanna pull it down and smash it

Western society, American society in particular, wants to defend "free speech" to the death when it doesn't know what "free" means or what "speech" means. it's unhinged

most persons' notions of both "speech" and "freedom" are appalling, puerile

what are we gonna do about that?

"Cities were made for people not for cars." A call to stop investing in car infrastructure.

B612 is an open-source font developed by Airbus. It's the result of a research project to define and validate an “Aeronautical Font” to improve display of information on the cockpit screens, in particular in terms of legibility and comfort of reading. https://b612-font.com/

So now I've had a conversation with a moderator at Fosstodon.

It seems as though, despite the sites pretty bold CoC prohibition on "public or private oppressive language or actions" (language they borrowed from elsewhere), they construe that prohobition much more narrowly than is written.

In fact they allow a great deal of oppressive language, if you don't @ anyone directly.

This contradiction bolsters my inclination to suspend the instance—until they decide to enforce their CoC as written.
