Paul McO'Smith IIIanother highly articulate rant. this time "The Inmate Formerly Known as Prince", Trump, and Epstein. definitely worth a few minutes to listen.
...if only to hear an excellent, and in-context, reference to the #TotalPerspectiveVortex !!!

Alastair Somerville“…but to his satisfaction he realized that he had proved conclusively that if life is going to exist in a Universe of this size, then the one thing it cannot afford to have is a sense of proportion.”

JdeBPIt's not offensive.
But my knowledge that Terra is in the Solar system does not come from Latin or school.
It comes from a combination of E.E. Smith's 'Lensman' series (where this planet is repeatedly called Terra) and a book titled _Stars and Planets_.
Not page 14 of Patrick Moore's one, 5th edition published by Chancellor Press in 1992. Although Sir Patrick was clearly a #SkyAtNight presenter who *had* seen the 'You Are Here' marker pointing to Terra in the Total Perspective Vortex.
But the 1972 MacDonald Junior Reference book by that title, where at the end of the entry for 'Sun' I as a child unwittingly prepared for the FediVerse in 2026 by writing in the helpful note '(See SOLAR SYSTEM)' that directed me to the right page to photograph.
The price on the back says 55p under the Net book agreement. I think that I just got my parents's money's worth.

Still torn with indecision, much like i was from Day 1 of my #Fosstodon-in-browser experience.
Shall i use:
- Fosstodon's own Dark theme?
- Dark Reader on fosstodon.org?
- Stylus with my own CSS on fosstodon.org?
- Combinations?
So far, each is imperfect, ergo, i still periodically change from one to next, to next, to...

@Silversnapples But did you nonetheless manage to extrapolate the whole of creation -- every Galaxy, every sun, every planet, their orbits, their compositions, and their economic and social histories -- from it? (-:
