"Have you any idea how much damage that bulldozer would suffer if I let it roll straight over you? ... None at all,” said Mr. Prosser
- The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Douglas Adams

By a strange coincidence, "none at all" is how much long term damage the planet will suffer if climate change wipes us out

We're Johnny-come-lately apes with anxiety- this planet shrugged off the dinosaurs. Let's be real

Climate activism isn't an attempt to "save the Earth"- it's an attempt to save OURSELVES

I've been collecting reports from Mastodon instance operators as they cope with the #TwitterMigration: dltj.org/article/mastodon-inst

Starting with reports from @chad (Mastodon Canada), @nova (Hachyderm), and @aurynn (Cloud Island, New Zealand).

Learning lots. If you know of other reports, please @-tag me and I'll add them to the list.

Dust Rings in the Wolf-Rayet 140 System

The two stars in Wolf-Rayet 140 produce shells of dust every eight years that look like rings, as seen in this image from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. Each ring was created when the stars came close together and their stellar winds collided.

""Can you show me?" is a very effective way of closing down a debate. Not a lot of people in the "show, don't tell" camp." – @jasongorman

I believe that @kentbeck had a rule that no design debate should last more than 15 minutes without doing an experiment on the computer.
