This was so cool! I also ended up watching the other short video on going incredibly fast to achieve interstellar travel.

One Revolution Per Minute, a short film showing what a realistic journey on a spinning space station would be like. "I believe that the perpetually spinning views would be extremely nauseating for most humans, even for short visits." https://kottke.org/23/10/one-revolution-per-minute

The BBC's experiment with Mastodon is pathbreaking in English-language news -- a major organization setting up its own instance. They've really thought this through. Key language:

"We're using social.bbc as the domain, so you can be sure these accounts are genuinely from the BBC. And by linking to and from the BBC’s website, we have verified our identity on Mastodon."

Are there any RSS or Read it later apps that will read through the article like Matter does? I really like the idea of a native mac and iOS app akin to #Reeder, #Unread, #NetNewsWire, etc.

Your reminder that this isn't Mastodon, this is the Fediverse. And you can optionally use Mastodon, or many other pieces of fantastic software, to access the Fediverse.

Tell your friends.
