Fossil fuels are stupid.

Migraine.
Strong tea.
Electric Wizard’s “Dopethrone” shoehorned into my ear canals to block out the world.

Só pra dizer a vocês que, se eu não sobreviver a esta noite, foi um prazer dividir um tempo e um planeta com vocês rs.

The fediverse is often full of drama with admins falling out with each other and defederations, and threats and tears.
Now, with the public spat between the Twitter admin and the TruthSocial admin, the rest of the world gets to enjoy a similar spectacle!
They can't defederate of course, because Twitter never became open enough and TruthSocial was already defederated by everyone as soon as it existed.
Only on Fedi can you get the full experience of a public spat and defederation, because only on Fedi can the admins really at-mention and and directly reply and take the final dramatic action of a flouce-defederation.
Trump fans who are Twitter users can't port their followers over to TruthSocial, and Turther Musk fans can't just migrate their account to Twitter.
They're stuck.
So you see Fedi really is the best when it comes to massive public spats between admins and this current admin-drama is only getting more attention because it's between two of the worst people in the world.

Inferring the pair-instability mass gap from gravitational wave data using flexible models
We use hierarchical Bayesian inference with non-parametric Gaussian process models to investigate the effective inspiral spin parameter, $χ_{\rm eff}$, as a function of primary black hole mass in the third gravitational-wave transient catalog (GWTC-3). Our analysis reveals a transition in the population at a primary mass of $46^{+7}_{-5}\,M_\odot$. Beyond this mass, the $χ_{\rm eff}$ distribution broadens, becomes consistent with being symmetric around zero, and has a median of $-0.03^{+0.36}…

Umgangsformen!
"Die Entscheidung sei der SPD-Fraktion durch Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz und den Unionsfraktionsvorsitzenden Jens Spahn mitgeteilt worden. Die Union soll dabei damit gedroht haben, sich andernfalls bei der Abstimmung über Brosius-Gersdorf zu enthalten."

Umstrittene SPD-Kandidatin: Union will Wahl von Brosius-Gersdorf zur Verfassungsrichterin von der Tagesordnung nehmen
Seit Tagen debattiert die schwarz-rote Koalition über die Wahl der von der SPD für das Bundesverfassungsgericht vorgeschlagenen Juristin Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf. Kurz vor der Entscheidung eskaliert der Streit.

Trump believes in American
Non-Exceptionalism.
His claim that America is as amoral as authoritarian regimes has long been false. But he longs to make it true.
