I keep seeing people angry at Democrats for not doing things it's not in their power to do, and I can't help but feel like we've already lost our democracy because the right people don't know how it works

My #FollowFriday suggestions are a bunch of astrophysicists! I'm listing their research specialities, but they're more than their work and have lots of other interests you can check out in their bios!
@AdiFoord - Black Holes, Active Galactic Nuclei
@alstev - Black Holes, Neutron Stars
@thomasconnor - Black Holes
@dpthorngren - Planet Interiors
@astrobiolena - Astrobiology
@spacetides - Planetary Tides
(There are more, but these are the ones actively posting right now!)
"To help some of the newcomers make connections: name 5-7 things that interest you but aren't in your profile, as tags so they are searchable. Then boost this post or repeat its instructions so others know to do the same."

I just renewed my Patreon for @fosstodon after letting it lapse because I stopped checking in here. Things have improved so much over the past year, thanks in no small part in sure because of instance admins here and across the fediverse.

b'{"error": "unhandled error: 404 Not Found"}
Dear programmers, please don't do this to the consumers of your APIs. I spent pretty much a day trying to get the response text of a mysterious 500 (the text wasn't logged). Would've been nice to know it was actually a 404, which made the error immediately obvious.
Don't hide HTTP codes. And don't mask original exceptions with "more user-friendly" messages either.
I'm begging y'all to talk about things on here other than Mastodon. Like 75% of my main feed is people talking about Mastodon.
I get, we're all excited, many of us are still learning it, and I know I just added another post to the list. #irony, I get it.
Anyway, I'm gonna start posting #community memes and hot takes to try and tip the scales.

If you're new to the Fediverse, here's what made the platform work for me: aggressively following and unfollowing new people.
Whatever standards you've built up on Twitter for deciding to follow someone, throw them out the window. Follow someone because they made a funny or insightful post. Follow someone because their bio says they like pesto. Follow someone because they have a cute fursona. Anything really.
Following is free. And if it doesn't work out, unfollowing is also free.
