   #OnThisDay, 24 Feb 1968, Jocelyn Bell Burnell - along with her male supervisor and three other men - published a paper confirming the discovery of pulsars. She had built the array, picked up the signal and argued it was not an anomaly. Hewish received the Nobel prize for it in 1974: Bell Burnell did not.

   In 2018 Bell Burnell received a £3m prize for her work. She's used it to set up a foundation to improve the diversity in STEM.

   #TikTok's final days?

   Let's hope not.

   In my view, that would be #Elmo or one if his #BigTech #Longtermist sect members getting control of this entertaining #Chinese transplant.

   Next year, we will be able to quote one of #GiovanniBoccaccio's jesters:

   “We have taken him out of the frying-pan, and dropped him straight in the fire”

   Slavery and Jim Crow were both legal.

   John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry was not.

   In 1894 it was ruled that the Sherman Antitrust Act could be used to stop _unions_ from "interfering in commerce"

   The promulgation of functional slavery until the 1980s in Louisiana was similarly legal

   The deportation of miners from Idaho Springs in 1903 was of dubious legality but the people who orchestrated it got away with virtually no consequences

   Legal and moral are very different

   @evan An added dimension is that there are some fediverse implementations that are indeed server monoliths, even though most are not.

   In a pitch presentation I've previously given, I tried to visualize the differences to closed social networks like this. A dot is supposed to represent one person, and Mastodon is more of a nebula than a single unit.

   I'd be open to suggestions for improvement. 🙂

   Edit: The next post in your thread has the improvement ideas. 😄 I'll take that on board, thanks!

   No, they are not.

   In fact, they are less fascist than Biden is.

   Meaningful elections? You mean, like the "meaningful" primaries where the DNC practically rigged the primaries to enable Hillary Clinton to win, then did nothing when she decided not even to launch a campaign in critical swing states, thus leading to Trump's victory?

   You mean, Democrats' continued attempts to sue Indy Leftist candidates off state ballots so that you can monopolize Leftist votes for free?
