absolutely hate living in a world where I see something wonderful online and immediately think "is this generated by a monster machine"?

The same abandoned church after 4 years of neglect

See the rest https://www.abandonedamerica.us/most-blessed-sacrament-church

Choir loft view of a vacant church looking at a slight angle towards the altar area. The color scheme is dominated by white, red, and gold with blue accents. The paint is starting to flake off and the right wall is mottled with black and green from mold and water damage.

“We found #COVID-19 accelerates the presence of ‘zombie’ or senescent cells, which accumulate naturally and gradually in the brain as we get older,” says University of Queensland researcher Dr Aguado.

Trump sleeping during his criminal trial was a smart legal defense maneuver as he commits fewer felonies while sleeping.

We've updated the rules of our flagship server mastodon.social today. Most are the same with some clarifications, but one rule is new: Content created by others must be attributed, and use of AI must be disclosed. Profiles that only post AI-generated content will not be tolerated.

NATO didn’t make Putin invade Ukraine
“It is Vladimir Putin’s inability to tolerate an independent Ukraine, not NATO’s presence in eastern Europe, that has driven this brutal invasion.”

Oh, today is my 8th anniversary of working on Mastodon. I was 23 when I started, finishing my last year of university, still living at my parent's place. I had no idea what I was getting myself into or that it would consume the next 8 years of my life almost completely.

Almost impossible to make new posts, Mastodon is very unstable today…

Long night so far.

A call from my sister just after midnight that she’d taken mum to the hospital.

Been holding bedside vigil while sister goes home and gets some sleep. Doctors running tests and whatnot. Morphine for the pain. Machines that go “bing”.

It’s about 4:30am and mum’s snoring with a plethora of tubes and wires.

Eyes are heavy. Chair is uncomfortable. The nurses showed me where I could make a cup of coffee for myself.

Mastodon may not be as big as some other social networks. And it may not have as many celebrities & "influencers."

But it sure is a nice place to engage with curious, thoughtful & interesting folks in ways that I haven't experienced elsewhere online.

Rather than a chaotic circus, #Mastodon uniquely feels like a (mostly) friendly neighborhood.

#PPOD: Ganges Chasma is one of several deep troughs that make up the Valles Marineris system on Mars. This image shows the geologic contact between the walls of Ganges Chasma and the adjacent plains. The upper slopes of the walls of Ganges have layering that appears dark, rough, and blocky, consistent with lava flows that are thought to make up the plains around Valles Marineris.

Fascinating story about how the system #Scout predicted the impact of small (1m) asteroid 2024 BX1 on Earth, in Germany.

The asteroid was first observed less than three hours before its impact by Krisztián Sárneczky at Piszkéstető Mountain Station of the Konkoly Observatory near Budapest, Hungary.

Bruce McCandless and Robert Stewart, mission specialists on the Space Shuttle Challenger during STS-41-B, used nitrogen-propelled maneuvering units to perform the first untethered spacewalks #OTD in 1984.

Another shot of Bruce McCandless during an EVA, this time much closer to the shuttle. The Earth below him is covered in clouds. Space above the Earth is black and featureless; any stars that would be visible are washed out by the bright surface below. McCandless is in his white, clunky spacesuit with its reflective copper-colored visor and a large, blockish maneuvering unit on his back.
