I tried to read joinmastodon.org just now, and got held up by the columnar layout. Best to avoid columns. (Also, side-scrolling is the worst!)
Not sure where to direct this, maybe @Gargron ?

I remember sending a letter to JPL, just some school kid from the midwest asking a few schoolkid questions.

Ah, yes, a reply guy explaining to me about why Fedified "isn't bad".
Apparently *anyone* can create an account on the Fediverse. That's ostensibly so problematic that we must centralize that feature -- with Google Forms no less.
And although account verification already exists, we need a self-appointed gatekeeper to authenticate those badges!
@Gargron The problem is that they're trying to establish a centralized authority for account verification.
And yeah, nobody is forced to trust those links -- and I won't.

Jane Caro passed this along. I agree with her when she calls this a "war against women".
A night of ‘hell’: abortion activists on their ‘inhumane’ detention in DC
"...Two of the women were put together in a cell measuring about four by six feet, including the metal bed frame and toilet. The beds had no mattresses, and a bright overhead light remained on all night, making sleep impossible. Their legs are still streaked with dark bruises from sitting on the two-inch metal lip on the side of the bed. Temperatures hovered around 90F (32C) and there was little water or food. Their repeated requests to contact lawyers went unanswered, they said.
"It was “surreal – just torture, really”, Paterson said, calling it a night of “hell”."

Normal people: oh no, data loss
Youtubers: aarrgh but woo, bonus video idea, and a cautionary tale too.
Great video, including the parts about:
* not just needing enough space to hold your data, but the benefit of having a spare drive around to have room to shuffle things around when you can't just pick up a new one same day
* the knock on effects on your pending workloads

I'm wondering how life on Earth would be different if our year was this short. I guess winter just wouldn't be a thing?
