I am cofounder of a small no profit association for space outreach in Italy (started off as a forum, then became an association to better manage the activities and the resources).
We have a Linkedin page, for... actually, for no good reason.
Now somebody pointed out to me that linked is putting our name and logo on job offers that have NOTHING to do with us, just because a company has the same name.
I hate any form of corporate social media.

said it before and I'll say it again, an undersold benefit of living with socialism is no commercials and ads
A few days after finishing watching The Dark Crystal - Age of Resistance I'm still thinking about it.
It's remarkably well done, expanding on the original movie that I also thoroughly enjoyed.
I do wish for a second season, but I really hope it won't be stretched forever, and drained of all its essence.
Arcade Dreams (Timecop1983 Remix) from The Midnight
Two of my favorite synthwave bands, together.
Released while I'm in the subway without my headphones, heading to a birthday party.
Hard to resist the temptation of blasting it full volume for the joy of my fellow travelers.

Hey dude... Tomorrow's already the 10th...
Police patronizing women
The dark crystal is really good! I found the story a bit simple and predictable at the beginning, but now it's interesting and creative (around episode 8)

Chin up ISRO. The moon is a harsh mistress.
Keep on trying.
Somehow I planned to go swimming with a friend. At 7.30.
I hate myself. I'll be happy after swimming, but I woke up at 6.30, it's almost 7 and I haven't moved yet.

When I read about the Mastodon 'night crew' I feel like those bus drivers, waking up at 4 am to take their shift at 5 and driving around drunken party people from the night before.
All aboard!

Being followed by a faceless and silent avatar is creepy.
Here’s my suggestion for newbies: set a picture and write at least one, preferably four posts that tell us something about yourself, about what to expect.
If you follow me, I will look at your profile and maybe I’ll follow back. But I’m not following a faceless and silent avatar.
Now... how to get this message out to newbies... 🤔
Fixed (at least the Amazon purchase) with a reboot.
