Three astronomy undergraduates at MIT and their professor discovered three of the oldest stars in the universe. @gbhnews interviewed them about the field of stellar archeology and the “cannibalistic process” of galaxy growth.

@damemagazine covered the rise of the “trad wife” influencer — where it come from, and why it’s dangerous. “A 2022 Ipsos poll found that almost half of American men surveyed believe “traditional masculinity” is under threat. Many blame feminism, saying it has done more harm than good. One in five Gen Z and Millennial men now believe violence against women is often provoked by the victim,” writes Sarah Stankorb.

In the words of Fatboy Slim, "we've come a long long way together." Here, @miaq breaks down Flipboard's federation journey so far.

"We could [federate Flipboard] with a quick flip of the switch but we’ve chosen to act more intentionally," she writes. "We’re taking measured steps to test, learn, and ensure that everything we’re doing stays true to our values and those of the fediverse. Maintaining quality is top of the list."

Ich nutze viel lieber #RSS-Reader für News, Blogs & Co. Online-Abonnente, als dies über @Flipboard zu konsumieren aber auf der anderen Seite macht dies das #Fediverse um so populärer und anerkannter in der Masse.

»"The Future is Federated" – Flipboard beginnt kompletten Einstieg ins Fediverse:
Bei #Flipboard ist man überzeugt, dass die Ära des Fediverse angebrochen ist und will komplett dabei sein. Bis #April soll die #App komplett angebunden sein.«

From @gbhnews here's the tale of the Gloucester Sea Serpent, a monster that's arguably older and more widely witnessed than Nessie.

@damemagazine talks about a burgeoning, exploitative brand of social media content where influencers involve unhoused people in their pranks.

@thexylom No, but that is such a great idea! I'll speak to my colleagues and see what we can create (maybe a federated Magazine so that the content pipes back into the fediverse 🤯).

🫖 During our outage this morning, people attempting to connect with Flipboard.Social found that we were declaring ourselves to be a teapot. Here's the origin of the unusual internet error message. Tell us, were you familiar with it?

@suzannealdrich Next survey: Who knows what Halt and Catch Fire means!

@Flipboard@flipboard.social avatar

Update: The majority of people who voted in our "teapot" poll knew that we had not sprouted handles and spouts, and that our error message during our outage yesterday comes from an old internet joke. Congrats on the tech know-how (we suspect that voters in this poll are not reflective of the general public!), and please remember not to pick us up or pour us out. 🫖
