It was a conscious decision to not enable quote-toot. It was identified as spreading bile on the birdsite so Fediversers (or only Mastodoners, not sure now) decided against copying the functionality.

South Australia has been effectively powered by green energy for a week, with one expert predicting it could extend to a month by early next year.

From December 12 to 19, National Energy Market data showed wind and solar contributed on average 103.5 per cent towards the state's energy demand.

No coal was used during the period, but gas accounted for 5.9 per cent of electricity when renewable sources were not enough to power the state at points at night.

Renewable energy production hits new record in SA, as expert predicts more milestones to fall soon

South Australia became famous for a statewide blackout, but years on it's had enough renewable energy to power the entire state for a week — and one expert predicts the technology could power it for a month by next year.

Body weight alone does not explain sex diffs in drug reactions. Analysis of 363 pre-clinical trials in mice finds physiology traits (iron & body temp), morphology traits (lean mass, fat mass) & heart traits not explained by body weight diffs.

Women are 50–75% more likely to have adverse drug reactions. A new mouse study finally helps explain why

The assumption that females are just smaller versions of males has been widely used in biomedical research. A new mouse study indicates that’s unlikely to be true.

Ok, I'm no longer posting on Twitter, but Musk just launched another poll you all should see and vote on.
Well, there is a way to link mastodon posts to Twitter.😆

Today, on December 17th we remember such momentous occasions on the web such as the first usage of the word #Weblog and the release of #CSS, both in fact, 25 years old today.

We recognize the tireless work of the #w3c in its momentous undertaking to develop protocols and standards that encourage cooperation, of which #ActivityPub is another result and reminder of their hard work and without which #Mastodon would not be possible.

Today it does not matter if you are using #Mastodon or #Pleroma or #Pixelfed or #Friendica or one of the many other projects in the #Fediverse family.

For those who have the means and ability to do so, I would invite you to contribute your money, your time, your boosts and above all your gratitude for the following causes:

- your instance owners, for their hard work in keeping this space running

- one of the many open source projects in which #Mastodon is just one in a many long line of

- your favorite artists, musicians, and writers who enrich our timelines on a daily basis -

- and especially and perhaps most importantly, those you know on the #Fediverse and off, who may be from marginalized communities, disabled, or otherwise having a difficult time this holiday season.

If you know of a worthy recipient of such a contribution, I gladly welcome you to share them in reply to this thread, tag them with relevant tags, and invite you to boost liberally.

IN the spirit of #JohnMastodon and the reminder that sometimes we all just need to run with a meme and just laugh and be joyful and creative together, regardless of what our background is..... I propose a toot, I mean toast... to YOU the good people of the #Fediverse.

Have a happy holiday season no matter what you celebrate, or a joyous day should you not celebrate any holiday this time of year at all.

Now, get out there and boost this toot. 😂
