#OTD in 1938. Orson Welles broadcasts a radio adaptation of H. G. Wells's The War of the Worlds, which caused some listeners to believe that a Martian invasion was in fact occurring, resulting in a massive panic in some of the audience in the US.

The novel even influenced the work of scientists. Robert H. Goddard was inspired by the book, and helped develop both the liquid-fuelled rocket & multistage rocket. via @Wikipedia

Hey any journalists on here plz turn your public post indexing on, because most of you haven't and thats why people looking for public information cant find you.

Go to settings > public profile > privacy and reach, select "include public posts in search results"

Not all the fedi wants to be a public space, and thats fine, but some parts should be right now.

French national electric utility company might limit people electric power to avoid outage this winter.

I guess that's better, but I don't understand the lack of anticipation. Everybody's pushing for electric cars, while the production for the current usage is barely sustainable.
