It’s been a weird couple days; I keep running into this talking point that “journalists won’t use Mastodon unless we incentivize engagement farming”.

Meanwhile I’m having a *great* experience here, because I use it to— I dunno— actually talk to people and form relationships?

I reject the premise that mastodon isn’t useful for reporters. I think it’s more accurate that modern news orgs use social media in purely extractive ways.

You might get more reporters that way, but you won’t like them.

Nasa just published this amazing picture.

This is a very high exposure picture of the nigh side of the world. City lights, auroras, starts and Venus can be seen.

Also, do you realize how thin our atmosphere really is? We’re all living in a small fish tank. Everything we release into that thin layer of air matters.

Cuando dios creó el cuerpo humano, todas las partes quisieron ser jefe.

El cerebro, porque coordino todo. Las manos, porque sin nosotras no se come. Las piernas porque sin nosotras esto no camina. El corazón porque soy indispensable.

Entonces, la mierda dijo: Jefe voy a ser yo, y punto. Y todo el mundo se echó a reír.

Y la mierda dijo: Ah, ¿Sí? Pues no salgo.

Y en unos días... El cerebro se nublaba, las manos y piernas temblaban, el corazón estaba a punto de pararse...

Entonces por unanimidad, todo el mundo dijo: ¡Basta! ¡Que la mierda sea jefe!

Y a partir de aquel día: Cualquier mierda es jefe.

Y es palabra de dios.

George Clooney is an actor.

Put him in the role of a surgeon in front of a camera, and he will do and say things the average non-surgeon viewer will agree are surgeonish. After an hour of that, we are, as average non-surgeon viewers, satisfied and entertained.

Put him in an operating theatre, and the patient will fucking die because he's not a surgeon and knows nothing about really doing surgery.
