Just to make this clear to the non-Germans amongst my mutuals: there were not "10s of thousands" on the streets against #fascism in #Germany but 100s of thousands, probably around 1.4 million in total. The largest demonstrations since reunification.

REMEMBER THE CANT!

8 years ago, premiered on Syfy, quickly becoming the best show of the past 20 years

The Rocinante from The Expanse, the sickest ship in modern sci-fi, doing a bad ass high G turn to fire its railgun. Queen.

Is Trump ahead in the polls, because Biden is losing support amongst one of his key demographics: Black men? Or are the polls all a lie?

Trump ahead in polls?

Biden camp doesn't believe the polls?
https://www.axios.com/2024/05/14/biden-polls-denial-trump-2024-election

Either way, the most important thing to do, is to ignore, insult, argue with, and generally disrespect, Black men online! 🤡 Find a Black man, and yell "Trump is worse!" in his face as hard as you can! Swear at him, and threaten him with violence!

@mekkaokereke That's the thing: if White liberal America wants to keep a liberal America it needs to talk to White non-liberal America (their friends, families, co-workers etc) and convince them not to vote for Trump. Focusing on (and blaming) Black people is just absurd.

You can complain about onboarding and UX all day, but the one big sell of Mastodon for me is that it’s not a big sell: it is non-commercial, non-profit, ad free and doesn’t fck off your data to some marketing ahole.

Where are my mutuals on ? Here's a short Who-wise:

  • Favorite Classic Doctor is 7, the great Sylvester McCoy
  • Moffat Who is peak Who, both classic and new
  • Peter Capaldi was the most interesting new Doctor
  • Clara is my favorite companion of new Who, while Ace and Liz Shaw share the top spot in Classic Who
  • I'm SO GLAD that the Chibnall era is over
  • But I still love s11 with Demons Of The Punjab and It Takes You Away

Now it's your turn!

Hey #StarWars folks, when did you fall in love with laser swords, scoundrels, bounty hunters and the Force? Are you an Original Trilogy kid (incl. the Ewok movies), did you find your way to the GFFA in the Dark Times with the Expanded Universe, was Jar Jar your hero, or did Rey and Mando capture your heart?

Folks, in a weeks time the most important in your lifetime is happening. The long-standing centrist majority in the is in danger from the extreme right. And don't let yourself be fooled from people like Meloni or Le Pen distancing themselves from the AfD: their intentions are to lure the center-right towards them and build a new majority beyond the center-left, beyond the Social Democrats, Socialists, and Greens. So VOTE for a center-left or left party!!!

jynersolives,
@jynersolives@mastodon.social avatar

Also: VOTE!!! The more people voting means that the relative share of the extreme right will go down = the old centrist majority can hold and things like the #GreenDeal can continue. Otherwise we will see a rollback on environmental policies and a gridlock over the next 5 years. #EuropeanElections

I was just reading up on Covid again. Official death toll is about 7mn people. But I was reminded about a piece in The Economist two years ago, in which a model was shown that esimated the true number being around 3.3x as much. If that model still holds, we are talking about roughly 23mn people worldwide. At the same time, it is estimate that in the EU alone around 14mn people suffer or have suffered from some form of long Covid. This thing will haunt us for years to come.

#CosmicStories blog post by @Tiylaya

Gone (but not forgotten?)

While some science fiction imagines humanity alone in the universe, other stories imagine that life just like our own is plentiful outside our Solar System. One common thread in such stories is the idea of precursor civilisations - ancient races that lived, died and passed out of general knowledge long before humanity took to the stars.

Re (common) origin of life in the universe: there's a great kurgesagt video on that topic:

The implications are interesting. If this is all the case then life in the universe might share much more commonalities.
