The truth is that we are one. From the atoms of a rock, to the farthest reaches of the universe. Nothing is too small to care for, and nothing is so large that we can't comprehend it. Wisdom, justice, and love come easier with this in mind.

This is a great "state of the fediverse" for those interested in how the protocols and communities are interacting.

Bridgy Fed is open source, so onlookers have noticed we’ve experimented with adding protocols to our codebase, namely Nostr & Farcaster. Both are in the codebase with near-readiness to launch, but we currently have no plans to launch them. For transparency, here's why:

I can't find a good photo gallery of the new Parthenon restoration in Athens. Just the same two photos on every news article. Would love to see an in depth time-lapse of the changes, or various angles around the temple. (Not one of those likely-inaccurate AI animations). apnews.com/article/gree...

Don't forget transcripts for video and audio. These will help blind users and low-vision users, deaf and hard-of-hearing users, people with ADHD, and people with audio-processing disorders. Transcripts also benefit search engines, people in quiet spaces, and people in a hurry.

Studio Ghibli E14 of The Complete Catalog is live! @zepfanman.com and I talk about POM POKO, an eco-fable that simultaneously revels in silly humor and morbid reflections, even while it doesn't provide any easy answers to the destruction facing our natural environments. Links 👇

It's impossible to describe the devastation from yesterday's deadly plane crash. My heart is broken. My prayers are with all those affected, and I promise we will be there in the hours, days and weeks ahead. We will get through this together. We love you, Louisville.

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor is right: Trans and gender-expansive youth are not political pawns. Now, more than ever, we must show up for trans kids and their families.

Hot tip: If you’re trying to collect badge numbers, name plates, or license plate numbers, your eyes tend to pick that up better than your phone camera, especially at night. While filming, speak clearly into your phone the info you want documented.

Still honored to be the first guest on this epic #podcast. Check out Tristan's thread for a bunch of stats on the first anniversary. #The5BestFilmsOfEveryYearEver

Tristan Ettleman@ettletodd.bsky.social

Well, *yesterday* was the one year anniversary of The 5 Best Films of Every Year Ever podcast! I thought I'd share some stats about the show so far. We've aired 47 episodes across seven seasons (the seventh is near the conclusion) covering from the 1890s-ish as a decade through 1905 with 35 guests.

Each time you ask an AI chatbot a question, it sends a request to a data center and strains an increasingly scarce resource: water. A 🧵on our investigation into how the data centers that power AI are increasingly being built in highly water-stressed places: www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

bloomberg.comThe AI Boom Is Draining Water From the Areas That Need It MostA Bloomberg News analysis finds that roughly two thirds of new data centers built or in development in the US since 2022 are in places with high levels of water stress.

Finally got my hands on Bryony Dixon's Victorian Film book. So many details about development in the 19th century, such as this dark room in a train. #FilmSky #silentFilm #BookSky
