I keep hearing "mastodon isn't good for [type of celebrity], they have to go to [other platform] for engagement"

It's not the celebrity type [scicom personality, journalist, author] it's the attempt to run a celebrity account at all that doesn't work on the fedi.

There are heaps of well known people on the fedi. Either it's not obvious that's their day job or they're just quietly being that in among posts about walking their dog. Coming to the fedi trying to sell your day job and hoping people will 'engage' is odd. Like going to the playground or the museum and being mad that bystanders didn't engage your about your day job despite the sandwich board you're wearing and your refusal to talk about any other topic.

Going into a social environment broadcasting [📢this is my content, engage with it📢] is an obvious recipe for disappointment. No one cares about the things you're broadcasting. Show us your dog. Did they have a nice walk?

The next big challenge for the mission is how to avoid going to the Whitehouse in the coming days.

I read people disappointed there was not more science done on the flight around the Moon.

There was a plan to combine asteroid science, asteroid deflection, and space resources work with Orion spacecraft tests in lunar orbit.

Donald Trump & Republicans then in Congress canceled that plan in 2017.

The cast-iron steps up to Great Western Road from South Woodside Road in the West End of Glasgow. These are part of the bridge which carries Great Western Road over the River Kelvin. Designed by Bell and Miller, it was made by the Sir William Arrol Iron and Steel Works and it opened in 1891. The original entrance to Kelvinbridge Subway Station (now in a standalone building to the left of this shot) was in the ground floor of the tenement just to its right.

The only problem with taking my dog out with me when I'm exploring Glasgow is that she's developed a knack for photo-bombing my pictures!

I'll post the dog-free version, with it's description, tomorrow.
