"Showing horrors doesn't work. People push it away." That's not defeatism — it's what Euromaidan Press has learned from tracking how stories perform.

A US journalism professor in Lviv reached that conclusion independently—and goes further: Russian propaganda wins not by lying but by making people feel nothing can be known.

The counter isn't more footage. It's empathy. Interview from Lviv, two weeks after Russia struck the city center.

"You can't support abolition/universal healthcare/reparations/universal housing/etc without being able to answer every possible hypothetical question about its implementation" is, frankly, horseshit.

The Wright brothers didn't need to be able to design a 747 to build the first airplane.

Is a command line interface better than a GUI?

Diving into Mastodon a bit like the chaffinch diving off this branch. Hi everyone, I'm John a hobbyist wildlife photographer based in Scotland. I currently upload all of my images to Flickr but I'm wanting somewhere else to share some of them too. Still not quite sure how Mastodon works but hope to view yours and share more of my wildlife and nature photographs.

It's no secret that I've been struggling, and my therapist said I need to find things to keep me busy, so I created the @cdnspace Artemis II dashboard.

I reverse-engineered the Unity Engine powering the NASA AROW visualization and found an absolute treasure trove of data to display.

Little did I expect that it's now being seen by anywhere from 200 to 600 people at any given time with 130,000 people having looked at it in the last 24 hours. People are even building projects around my API.

Yesterday, I received a message on LinkedIn from someone working in Mission Control in Houston... and they're using my dashboard! He even sent me a photo, but I can't share it until after the crew has splashed down.

Mind blown, and an absolute pick-me-up. The best part? It's being served from my basement.

"there's just so much magic in the terminator"

hard agree, it's fascinating from the ground. I cannot imagine how beautiful it must be from space.

I'm fascinated by the fact that the scientists on the ground are more interested in the astronauts spoken descriptions of what they are seeing with their own eyes than they are in the images that are being beamed down from space.

Human observation and interpretation at close quarters can tell them much more than remote imagery.

Victor Glover's descriptions are particularly captivating.
