Mastodon Tip

Seeing some newer folks saying that it is hard know who to follow.

This tool, Followgraph for Mastodon >>> followgraph.vercel.app/ to the rescue!

Followgraph will provide you with all the follows of the people you follow.

What? OK, so say you have found a few accounts that interest you. Run Followgraph and you will see and be able to follow all of their follows ranked in order of how many are shared.

Then add some these accounts and run it again.

Been using phanpy.social as my client of choice on the now for a solid three days, and it is ... AWESOME. Really like the opinionated stance it takes on Boosts and Quote Toots. Give it a try!

@GottaLaff We definitely have taken our eye off the ball here. All according to Putin's plan :(

@arstechnica I've long been surprised that lawsuits haven't popped up about "owning" digital media. Similar to what happened in Playstation last week. Must be some rock solid fine print in there.

Special counsel Jack Smith asks SCOTUS to swiftly decide whether former President Trump is absolutely immune from federal prosecution for crimes allegedly committed while he was in office. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-sup

@invisible @chron A TEENSY step :)

@NPR Thomas' response is so on point for him. 1A for docs he agrees with, but not for other docs.

Today marks the anniversary of the 1948 signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the United Nations in the aftermath of the Holocaust. The Conversation highlights a little-known right nested in Article 27: the human right to science. flip.it/QsODas

Since putting up what amounts to a clothesline on my roof a month ago, I've managed to transmit and make contact with 37 states (and multiple countries) using 10 watts.

This is the power equivalent of putting an LED lightbulb on my roof, flicking it on and off, and having the east coast see it and reply.

Never ceases to feel amazing to me.

Sovereign debt doesn’t work this way. It’s like dividing the number of planets by the number of moons and saying “on average each planet has this many moons” which is true but a goofy calculation. Bonus: a R congressperson calling out the White House for spending too much had me giggling for over an hour. ground.news/article/us-nationa
