Bit of a long shot, but could my good mastodon follower folk give me some boosts?

I'm starting work on a documentary podcast series about the future of space; renewable/sustainable technologies, commercialism in the sector and the public's perception of it all.

I'm hoping to connect with people who know space to complement my client's contacts, so any signal boosting would be appreciated!

Huge news 🥳

WordPress now has 3,000 ActivityPub plug-in installs.

Which means that on a per node basis, WordPress’s install base is appr. 25% comparative to the size of Mastodon’s install base.

If I were to hazard a guess, WordPress is now the 2nd largest Fediverse server software in terms of active nodes.

In terms of Fediverse server installs, it’s more than possible that WordPress could overtake Mastodon.

“Musk destroying Twitter is extremely serious and not funny at all because every level of our municipal government uses solely Twitter for propagating critical information during emergencies.”

My dude. The fact that America doesn’t have functional governance at any level doesn’t detract from the humor of a billionaire sticking his entire $44b shoe in his mouth and chewing on it while dril dunks on him repeatedly.

#Tunng's "Comments of the Inner Chorus" is literal magick.

When I first heard it, in 2006, it was so fresh and wonderful, I still listen to it in awe.

I wish they kept making music this brave.

Sorry, but you can't convince me that the test of a reusable rocket system is supposed to involve destroying the launch site—which was reusable on every prior generation of space flight technology—and launching debris thousands of feet away.

#SpaceX is not a serious company, it's a clown show, and it should not have a single dollar in government funding, much less billions.

This week, we welcomed Ukraine as it becomes the newest member of the EU Civil Protection Mechanism!

This is a great step in further strengthening the European civil protection and disaster management system.

The EU Civil Protection Mechanism has been the central engine in channelling #emergency in-kind assistance to #Ukraine from across #Europe since the start of the war.

Now, Ukraine will be able to dispatch aid via the Mechanism at a time another country finds itself in a crisis.

"Why won't you pay the $8?"

Five months ago, before she died, my 91-year-old great-grandmother described to me how, while her mother was taken to the gas chambers by the Nazis, she asked her mother, "Where are you going?" and "When are you coming back?" She never saw her mother again. I was literally shaking while I was listening.

Now, when I checked Twitter, I bumped into two accounts, one "verified," and the other one lost their "verification" yesterday. I'll just leave it right here...
