Buh. I wish my city had all night electronic dance clubs. 😭😭😭

The Solar System's Hidden Planet: The Sun harbors another planet that has been hidden from scientific detection, orbiting between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, and hosting an advanced civilization that uses it as a hub for interstellar communication or testing experimental technologies.

Coining the term "Info-baiting". Like "rage-bait", but for triggering info-dumps. 😈

Who needs podcasts when you can just interview any random nerd on their particular interests?

On the fediverse, posts rarely go viral. But at times, they will go "fungal", like mycelium quietly working its way through the substrate, popping up again like mushrooms every few months to make another quick round before going dormant again.

@macdonst @hank I think a lot of folks have been failed by society and pushed into dark corners of human experience. 😅 The "isolated person" to "raving conspiracy nut" pipeline is swift

Resistance can be as simple as using certain terms:

"online video" instead of "YouTube video".

"online search" instead of "Google Search" (or "do a search" instead of "google it".)

"music playlist" instead of "Spotify playlist".

Do not give these company any free advertising by using their names.

Do not make them the default term for something.

@pry I mostly enjoy when he writes about non-human societies. It's also fun how much is focused on scientists figuring out problems by breaking them down. Also the gender stuff in Diaspora. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaspora

@pry siiick. Have you read anything by Greg Egan? Been enjoying his stuff a lot lately.

Quitting sugary beverages has been hard but it'll be worth it. 💪
