This is amazing. NASA commissioned a microgravity compatible espresso machine for the International Space Station (to make ISSpresso, obviously), and to stop the astronaut having to drink espresso from a closed container with a straw, a bunch of NASA volunteers designed the Space Cup, so the crema bubbles could be seen and the coffee smelled even in microgravity. And I've just been sent one in the post. That's Samantha Cristoforetti drinking from it in the ISS cupola. #ISS #Space #Coffee

Billionaires should not set climate policy.
Billionaires should not set water policy.
Billionaires should not be setting any policy.
Billionaires should not be platformed to give opinion on crises & injustices they helped create & have financial stakes in monopolizing policies on.
Billionaires should not exist.

@atomicpoet Triple the minimum wage in Kenya is $363 USD (per month). Based on a 40 hr working week (unlikely) that's $2.25 an hour. So you are correct on trauma remuneration...

Working conditions at Facebook moderation farms are so horrible that so-called "contractors" actually describe it as modern slavery.

Inside Facebook’s African Sweatshop

At an external Facebook content moderation facility in Kenya, employees are paid as little as $1.50 per hour for traumatizing work

The national anthem of the United States of America is anti-Black racism.

The national anthem of the United States of America is violence, money and oppression.

The national anthem of the United States of America is guns.

The national anthem of the United States of America is death.

New Zealand isn’t ready for a Māori prime minister

We have allowed a prime minister to be subjected to an unprecedented level of violent, sexist attacks – it would only be worse if they were Māori, writes Tina Ngata. #Indigenous #IndigenousMastodon #Māori #NativeMastodon

New Zealand isn’t ready for a Māori prime minister

It could barely handle a Pākehā woman in the role.

Muting is super simple - but doesn't seem to be bulletproof. Exhibit A: my feed still contaminated by Elon Musk. I also tried to mute cats, but gave up quickly. I have learned to tolerate cats - Musk not so much
