hey @BBC_News_Labs !

Is there a BBC World Service news feed I can follow on your instance?

Currently I'm following botsin.space or something to get that, which is probably not ideal

@BBC_News_Labs

Although there are relatively few accounts on Mastodon that have follower numbers in the hundreds of thousands, it seems likely that if a well-curated BBC World News account was created, it would become one of them. And while that audience would be still be smaller than BBC's audience on other social media platforms, there are many folks here that aren't on the other sites.

@BBC_News_Labs @winstonsmith Please, please do! Right now, anyone who wants to get BBC news in their Mastodon feed has to follow bots, not an official account, and would happily follow official accounts. Not only that, when official accounts join, bot accounts try to transfer their followers over and post letting people know about official accounts (that’s what happened when Ars Technica made an official Mastodon account).

At least one news account would give you a lot more real interaction.

This is absolutely infuriating. Overdrive should lose their contracts and be replaced by a publicly-funded system. https://karawynn.substack.com/p/the-coming-enshittification-of-public-libraries

Eben spontan einen Termin im gemacht, um dort morgen nachzusehen, ob es irgendeine Art von Sammlungsdokumentation gibt.

Das würde zumindest dabei helfen, die von der Koordinationsstelle Koloniales Erbe in angefragte zu einer der dortigen Figurenbeuten zu schreiben.

Unter anderen diese beiden hatten im Frühjahr (als Lückenfüller?) bei der für Schnappatmung gesorgt.

Meine Gedanken zum Thema hatte ich hier festgehalten: https://bienen.hypotheses.org/675

Der abgebildete Zettel hält fest, dass das Deutsche Bienenmuseum Weimar um Aufarbeitung der kolonialen Bezüge einiger Stücke bemüht ist.

@kate

I agree, We do have the Information and Discussion thread pinned, so probably put the matches as comments, but they will be rendered slightly different than normal comments. But if @HyperCube is fine with it he can post the matches in there for the time being.

Whatever works well for you guys. Having alot of posts is fine, as it should engage more people I think, even though not everyone is interested in it.

@neilhimself I had a similar experience, I tagged her page to share a 1998 news clip that featured a photo of Sinead showing up at small pub in Boston, and another of my friend and myself together, 2 weeks later Sinead crossed over. RIP Sinead. 🌼 Have you read her book yet?

Man kann in Everspace 2 übrigens auch Rennen fliegen😃
Ich bin gerade beim Erkunden darauf gestoßen.

Die Rennen werden von einer KI namens Maurice organisiert, die auch einen französischen Akzent hat😁

Bisher waren alle Rennen Zeitrennen. Ich mache sie auch nur einmal, um mehr über Geschichte von Maurice zu hören.
Zum Glück muss man sie dafür auch nicht erfolgreich abschließen.

SheeEttin ,

Does it not give you a link field? It shows up for me as a text link in the body of the post.

And at least on my client (Connect), trying to tag a community in the title doesn’t work, it just shows the link markup raw.

Also your hashtags are links back to mastodon. I don’t think those are useful for Lemmy users.

Analysis

"The US political system was created to restrain democracy, not protect it.

"The founders essentially placed a ticking time bomb at the heart of our political system—and this could be the year it explodes."

They worked within a system that concentrated power in the hands of an elite, propertied, white male minority.

200+ years have "increasingly vested the majority of political power in the hands of a reactionary conservative white minority."

Imo, the "four threats" are interconnected aspects of the intentional foundational anti-democratic system.

I know many autistic individuals (myself included) who (on the whole) are not assholes.

on the contrary I find the vast majority to be very concerned about "doing the right thing"

unfortunately all you need to be an asshole is a desire to be said asshole.

As such, echo the sentiments of others here and say ditch that person.

The "Oh I'm not an asshole/racist/sexist/etc ... I'm autistic!" argument didn't work for Musk and it won't work for others.

he can still be autistic AND an asshole.

DoctorDisco OP ,
@DoctorDisco@mendeddrum.org avatar

I should add, for completeness sakes, I am not without my own periods of assholery.

I do constantly strive to avoid it.. but occasionally, it rears its ugly head(s).

However, I go on record to say I've never been a major asshole.. just a minor garden variety asshole.. espousing my strongly held opinons over trivial matters blown out of all proportion :) hehe

The front iron on the gondola has five fingers, not six as is common today.

There haven't always been six fingers. In the 1600s three knobs were common.
