Denise Wu#GeorgeSantos is on an apology tour, why are journalists skipping out major question, “where did you get $700,000?”

@rbreich that has been the point of the Reagan Revolution et seq. To rend the social contract & to dysgovern in order to foster disengagement & discouragement, then to channel disillusionment & resentment into us/them, strong/weak, winners/losers, no right or wrong, nihilistic cynicism. #FascismByDesign
Erik MoellerThrough the #Wikidata query for nonprofit organizations with Mastodon accounts (https://w.wiki/69Sr) I learned that #OpenAccess nonprofit @scipost has a carefully set up dedicated presence here, with multiple handles for posting open-access #science papers in those fields. Neat, hope it picks up steam!

Also looks like someone at the UK's Royal Astronomical Society set up a Mastodon account and is crafting custom posts for it, but it only has ~300 followers compared with their >50K on Twitter:
I see this all too often -- major public/nonprofit organizations set up shop here, but don't know how to best cross-link/promote it, so the accounts get kind of lost. If you care about #astronomy & like their work, give them a boost or follow :)
Gurdeep Pandher of the YukonThe frozen lake near my cabin in the wilderness glows with winter magnificence. When I visit there, it feels like nature has placed a pure, spotless white blanket on the utterly pristine Earth. I danced on the iced water to create joy, hope and warmth. I'm dispatching to you too. Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/aNP6l6Tg0pk

"Musk’s actions are fully consistent with the worldview that dominates among far-right reactionary extremists. Yet, many observers seem reluctant to acknowledge that what is happening is exactly what it looks like.
People who cover the tech world are still searching for a grand business strategy that would explain all this behavior."

StacyNow that the man I had dinner with is passed out from carb overload, I'm stepping up to my soapbox:
Sorry, but the ACA fixed very little and was never meant to be an endgame. People are still going bankrupt from medical debt. Many people still can't afford to go to the doctor, even with insurance, due to outrageous deductibles.
Medical care is still a privilege in the US and not the right that it should be. We tend to fight for things, make a little progress, then move on.
Keep fighting.
Wendy Palmer“Booty call” and “butt dial” has been offered up as an example of where the literal meaning of two phrases is the same but the implied meaning is very different (denotative vs connotative meanings).
Today a coffee mug gave me another example: “dad bod” and “father figure”
Dan GillmorProbably unfair, but when I saw the (unconfirmed) report that a "threat actor" had obtained detailed data on 400 million Twitter users and was threatening to use it for bad purposes, my first reaction was to assume the bad guy is Elon Musk.
