Behold a Digital Restoration of 655 Plates of Roses & Lilies by Pierre-Joseph Redouté: The Greatest Botanical Illustrator of All Time

Pierre-Joseph Redouté made his name by painting flowers, an achievement impossible without a meticulousness that exceeds all bounds of normality.

Friends, I have been given some contact information for members of the Harris for President digital and social communications teams and I have started reaching out to them about our #MastodonforHarris fundraiser, https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris. If you have been considering a contribution, today would be a great day to show a lot of activity!
Your regular reminder that @JoeBiden is an #ExcellentPresident. We can disagree with him over Gaza, the border, or 230 and that's the point--unlike the authoritarians The Times loves to poll, we do disagree, we do not worship, we debate. The Times can't understand that.

I follow these people because their advice on software and web dev is usually sound, but wow, so many people in tech are off-the-rails and into the weeds in their arrogant and utter disregard for the expertise required for any of the fields they are regard as “soft”, “humane”, or (unsurprisingly) feminine.

Much of the talk surrounding “AI” easily replacing all of these jobs is just pure mask-off inhumane.

Here is a fun animation that will help you to understand the relative rpms of the planets.

Comparing the rotations of objects in the Solar System. Just look at them lol.✨🪐

To everyone that's confused, the planet Venus rotates very very slowly, with a single revolution taking about 243 Earth days, and Mercury rotates slowly, but not as slow as Venus.

When it Comes to Climate, Beware the “Calm Down” Guy

Anyone insisting that you “calm down” about climate change is living in denial about the catastrophes that are at our doorstep.

I would pay to do this job! 
The global anti-democracy movement has been encouraged by America’s failure to hold Trump accountable.
Americans will find some familiar names here, advising Bolsonaro and cheering on the mob: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/11/23/brazil-bolsonaro-bannon/
Trump aides Bannon, Miller advising the Bolsonaros on next steps

Some allies and advisers want the Brazilian president to contest his election loss to Lula. Others want a global fight over free speech.

A reminder that on Mastodon you are the algorithm. If you’re seeing content you don’t want, block or filter it out. Boost things you want more of. You control what you see. It’s better than trying to control others. Focus on curating the kind of feed you’re interested in.

If you don’t want to see politics, unfollow people who post or boost a lot about politics.

The #birdsite is very passive in terms of what it demands from you. Mastodon isn’t. It’s a mind shift but it’s a good one to make.
