"Twitter was a place, with people, and now that place is gone. Mu5k took a city with thriving neighborhoods and decided to run a f*cking interstate through the most interesting parts of it, and the interstate […] just runs from Bitcoin Town to Fascistburg."

So say we all

@shareastronomy The 🟦 one

[Meredith Rawls @merrdiff]

Whole new company about to start launching satellites and nowhere to complain because the head of the other billionaire backed satellite company decided low-Earth orbit wasn't enough and he should also ruin the bird app

[Meredith Rawls @merrdiff]

@davidkroll Same problem here. I kept checking for new flights to be added (from Seattle) every month or so for the last 6mo with no luck. We are probably going elsewhere instead.

⚠️ SMOKY SKIES LIKELY THIS WEEKEND ⚠️

Winds from the north and east are likely to pull in smoke from wildfires in BC and Eastern Washington as soon as tomorrow morning.

This will probably lead to a notable deterioration in air quality, especially on Sunday. Stay safe!

[Meredith Rawls @merrdiff]

@michael_w_busch Oh it's probably the latter. Same effect. 😞

Did... did Tweetdeck just die?! Of course it did

Finally watched #SubspaceRhapsody and then came specifically looking for this thread

Perfection, every bit of it, my life is complete 🤩

[Kat Volk @kat_volk]

Back at #Rubin2023 today! My first session today is all about satellite constellations

@DrDadSays Love your optimism
You'd think they could maybe look at how many people have appointments for the shots and order, I don't know, at least that many????

[Meredith Rawls @merrdiff]

This timeline is still broken, as my baby's 3rd of 3 COVID shots at a UW clinic was canceled (out of stock)

After an hour on the phone I learned Kaiser has it, but I can't get it, bc COVID is no longer an emergency and I'm not a member

Thank you for saving the day @DrDadSays!!

[Meredith Rawls @merrdiff]

@DrDadSays YIKES 😳

[Meredith Rawls @merrdiff]

Not me saying this on a Zoom earlier today and being largely ignored

SUGGESTION 1: Gender data collection MUST have fill-in-the-blank gender ID. there is no alternative. Gender should only be sought as a voluntary disclosure and NEVER assumed by eye or by name.

@GoAstroMo I'm aware of her by nickname only, thanks to the excellent kids book "Ho'onani, Hula Warrior"
