Don’t let them distract you from what’s true. Question their arguments. Ask yourself what they get out of their positions. And then VOTE!!!

Important reporting from @juddlegum and colleagues on what looks like malign political subterfuge -- a supposedly "moderate" presidential campaign that would siphon votes from the Democratic candidate and put Trump back in the White House. The organizers refuse to say who's funding them, which tells you a great deal. https://popular.info/p/the-opaque-70-million-scheme-that?publication_id=1664&post_id=112535714&isFreemail=false
The opaque $70 million scheme that could make Trump the next president

No Labels, the purportedly non-partisan organization that supports Republicans and conservative Democrats, is making preparations to promote a third-party presidential ticket in 2024. The group says it is "laying the groundwork for a potential independent unity ticket in 2024" as an "

A source of new Fediverse accounts is dev.brighteon.social.

46,862 were discovered during the past day.

Brighteon is known for spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories all over Facebook and Twitter, and it looks like they’re trying their hand at the Fediverse now.

I’ve looked at the accounts on that server, and the overwhelming majority look like bots. The goal seems to be spamming misinformation.

I recommend putting brighteon.social on #Fediblock.

I need your help...

Every day I put out a post to encourage people to Toot about their lives. Mundane or interesting.

I do this is to keep the social aspect of Mastodon alive. It's easy to forget, in a world of niche content, all of the things that make us who we are.

When we share our lives, we can see ourselves in others. We can see what makes us different, and yet the same.

That's beautiful.

So PLEASE, if you see any of my boosts with #today in it, BOOST it.

Let's keep Mastodon social.

Rosalind Franklin’s research was crucial to discovering DNA’s double helix structure 🧬 but it was James Watson & Francis Crick who received the credit & Nobel Prize.

Unknown to Franklin, the pair saw her unpublished data & X-ray diffraction images, inspiring their model. They never acknowledged her contribution until after her death.

How many discoveries & innovations of #women do we attribute to the men who took credit for their ideas?

Sexism pushed Rosalind Franklin toward the scientific sidelines during her short life, but her work still shines on her 100th birthday

Franklin was born a century ago, and her X-ray crystallography work crucially contributed to determining the structure of DNA.
