Back on the bird site, I would always post a yearly comparison of all Physics #NobelPrize laureates by name and by gender, showing how much more common winners named, e.g., "David" were than women.
With three female laureates since 2018 and based on people seeming to get tired of me posting them, I had stopped...
But there's a new John, meaning As many people named John have won the #PhysicsNobelPrize since 2005 as women have ever. #Science #GenderBias #NobelsSoMale #NobelPrize2024
Good news: Twitter will remove nonconsensual nudity pretty quick!
Bad news: only if it's reported as a copyright violation, not as nonconsensual intimate media

Tonight, the White House announced an excellent new use of short message sending (SMS),
building on good work during the pandemic with vaccines.gov.
As POTUS tweeted, Americans can now 👉find a FEMA shelter nearby by ❇️texting SHELTER + their ZIP code to 43362.
That’s an innovative form of 21st century infrastructure that will endure after the hurricane passes.
Chuck Darwin reshared this.
The new UI looks fantastic. Well done by your team. Two pieces of feedback from me, though. For free.
1. The contrast between icon/background in the lists modal is inaccessible. It fails WCAG guidelines. I mentioned this back in February (mas.to/@markwyner/111931171140…).
2. The failed icon/label alignment and gap. Here's simple CSS that can fix it. This also saves lots of space for long lists.
I hope this helps.

This is the lists modal, where you add/remove people you follow from your own lists.
Grave cleaning videos are going viral on TikTok. Are they honouring the dead, or exploiting them?
Cleaning the graves of strangers is the latest content trend taking over TikTok. But as millions tune in to watch the videos, it’s becoming clear not all of them are created equal. Two grave-cleaning creators in particular seem to reside at opposite ends of the trend.One of the first accounts to gain popularity for grave cleaning was @ladytaphos. This account is run by Alicia Williams, a Virginia resident who treats the graves with great dignity. Williams will often share the story of the person residing within, and acts with grace and kindness as she restores beauty to the graves.
On the other end of the spectrum is Kaeli Mae McEwen, or @the_clean_girl, who leans into more clickbait-y tactics. McEwen is known for throwing a pink spiky ball through a graveyard and cleaning the grave it lands on. She also uses her videos to promote her own pink foamy cleaner (which at one point could be purchased via a link in her bio).
The #LoyalMountaineers of #EastTennessee keep faith with the Republic and Union of States.
You don’t need to get excited about it, but the Southern Appalachians are going to be a humanitarian disaster in a matter of days.

I don't know if this will be appreciated or obnoxious but here's the #Bash script I used to #toot a LOT of things in a single thread.
The script can do listed or unlisted replies, with or without content warnings.
But does require the #toot #Python package from #pip
Any suggestions or improvements are welcome.
. @ThePSF #python shit show continues:

- at least two persons banned
- a bunch of postings flagged and hidden
- suppression of opinions
- moderators hiding behind the CoC
- moderators hiding behind the Discuss system
- the CoC committee is hiding, as always
- the typical "either you are with us or you are our enemy" attitude
- no further communication in Tim Peter's case
As said: the SC and CoC committee have to step back. Their attitude sucks, their behavior sucks.
