Henbury Meteorite Crater, Australia.
From sign at the Henbury Meteorite Conservation Reserve: "An Eroded Landform: This hole is actually two overlapping craters. The shockwaves from the meteorite hitting the earth partly destroyed the walls between the craters. They have been further eroded over the last few thousand years by wind and rain."

I would apologize for posting what at first appears to be another "tech toot"...but since I churned out almost 40 drawings for this talk on the Forth programming language, I don't feel bad about it at all. Here's the slides:

After a Decade of Tracking Politicians’ Deleted Tweets, Politwoops Is No More
--
Since Elon Musk took over Twitter, it has disabled the function we used to track the deleted Tweets of elected officials and political candidates — and the new method that Twitter says should identify deleted tweets appears to be broken.
Regardless of one's feelings about Twitter, this is a loss for transparency.
Thanks to @derekwillis for coming back to write this obit.

Why Can’t Politwoops Track Politicians’ Deleted Tweets Anymore?
Whether officials were deleting an embarrassing post or just correcting a typo, Politwoops tracked them all. But service changes made after Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter have rendered it impossible for us to continue tracking these tweets.ProPublica

Why might VCs be investing in @mammoth?
Because Mammoth allows you to create a Mastodon account within the client.
Which will then be hosted on moth.social, a server owned by Mammoth.
Thus, if everyone adopts Mammoth because of “ease of sign-up”, Mammoth runs the client + server.
If I were a VC, I’d find that quite appealing.
