This article from @aftermath.site is so worth the read. I have yet to read anything from this staff of journalists that isn't worth the price of admission alone, but this one hammers home how destructive AyeEye is. If you're on the fence or for it, and this doesn't change that? You're a lost cause.

What a tragic loss of life. Those migrant workers and civilians who helped save the kids and adults were heroes. It would have been much much worse if they didn’t intervene. www.straitstimes.com/singapore/fi...

I have a crazy amount of respect for Dr Scott. He’s a genuinely caring vet who runs a YT channel and the man seriously flew to a war zone to help animals. Spread the word about this man and his channel, please! He deserves so many more subs for his work: m.youtube.com/watch?v=eGEC...

I don’t buy unfinished video games. I don’t pay for early access. I don’t pay to bug test a product. I don’t buy on the promise of future content. You wouldn’t buy any other product in the world if it was faulty. Why are video games any different? Buy with confidence!

It’s OK to buy games at launch. It’s OK to buy games on sale. It’s OK to play games via a subscription service. It’s OK to borrow games from your friends. It’s not OK to shame others for how they access gaming. Financial situations are different for everyone. Be kind about it.

Started watching four episodes of vintage anime (Sailor Moon, Patlabor, Slayers, Gundam) every week with Discord friends and can't stress enough how watching fun stuff with online friends is a low-cost, low-effort way to help you feel better about shit. Can't recommend it enough.

TAKE YOUR TIME OFF of social media, don't hurt yourself obsessively scrolling. Go out for a stroll. Work on your project. Hear some music. Pet your pets. Cook that complicated recipe that takes that long. Uninstall Apps if you must. Don't hurt yourself.

There are four rotten apples. We choose to throw one of them out. There still are three rotten apples, but it means we have one less rotten apple to deal with. This can only be a good thing as we continue to try to reduce the damage. Too many people are obsessed with “all-or-nothing” thinking.

Just want to point out what great science communication happens on Watch Duty, the writer using jargon and defining it as he goes. Using the jargon communicates full detail to the more expert audience, and defining it assists newcomers. This kind of multilevel writing is essential to good #scicomm.

I mean it. If you are anywhere in fire country, download Watch Duty. With Facebook pulling down evacuation info (they did it to our area this summer) and Xitter being unusable, it’s the best source of info. They link the evac maps.
