TIL Gerhard Domagk’s discovery of the antibacterial properties of Prontosil won him the 1939 Nobel Prize in Medicine but German citizens were forbidden to accept the prize under Hitler. Domagk was forced to reject it by the Gespato before receiving it in 1947 but without the prize money

The story of the church that ordains you with a few clicks online


Over 60 years ago, the Universal Life Church made it possible for anyone to become a minister and ordain a wedding. Today, weddings officiated by family and friends have become a huge part of the way Americans get married.

Not only a minister, for a few more dollars you could become a pope! I signed only for the Minister card - I think it was $2 (around 1970), my flatmate forked out $5 and became a pope, but with the mitre or red shoes.

Dear Fedi,

I'm given to understand that there are quite a few trans folk on here, and that more than a handful of us are developers. I would appreciate some advice from that demographic...

I'm about to open source a (tiny, very niche) library that I started developing prior to my transition. Should I rewrite the git history to remove my deadname, or leave the change in commit author as it is?

I'm torn...

I am super excited that our public library now has a Community Fridge and Pantry.

This was a youth-led initiative supported by our library, an ALA grant, and the federal Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act. Food insecurity and food waste are both issues that this project can help address.

(It's not my project but I may be able to answer questions about it if people have any. Here's a web page with tips https://letsmovelibraries.org/library-pantries-feed-communities/)

487 #Ukraine #athletes have been killed by russia since the start of the full-scale invasion

They could be competing in the #Olympics instead of those responsible for their demise.

487 reasons to ban russian athletes, who support their government, from any competition.

considering making little add-on boards for recent-ish thinkpads (e. g.. using a hub on the USB lines on the smartcard reader FFC header, or by tapping in the I2C lines on the NFC header)

things that add little internal few-chip solutions, like:
- subghz radios
- nrf52s for 2.4G ISM hackery
- those simple SDRs
- IR (possibly software defined)

curious who's interested in trying some of these out, and what kind of accessories you'd want to see squished in there

of you happen to know where I can get a SATAExpress drive connector so I can make an adapter board to M.2 NVMe drives, I will forever be in your debt. My T460p needs a SSD upgrade, and it was one of the very few computers that ever used a STATExpress drive.

There are many more paid staffers than are listed by the campaign's help wanted page. Many staffers, from the top of the campaign down, are already on board. And not only are there salaries to be paid, many of those staffers will have ongoing travel expenses. A campaign staff is a bit like an army: it marches on its stomach. 4/ https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris

Then, there are all the service providers the campaign will be hiring, to do everything from legal work, to event security, to catering.

Incident Command is able to confirm that all critical infrastructure in Jasper was successfully protected including the hospital, emergency services building, both elementary and junior/senior schools, activity centre and wastewater treatment plant. Although more time is needed to complete a detailed damage assessment, it is clear that some homes and businesses have been lost.

VP Harris reports that she told Netanyahu the war must end, Israel must completely withdraw from Gaza, and Palestinians will have their own state with self determination.

A start. But not enough. USA needs to stop arming Israel to bomb Palestine. That’s a non negotiable.
almondtree reshared this.

She's doing it. "The same Black voters who split 70% for Biden to 23% for Trump in previous polling now break 78% for Harris to 15% for Trump." 👍🏿

Future president Kamala Harris did not come to play games. If this holds, and Black folk check and re-check their voter registration every month, then Harris wins.

Black folk vote *away* from the most racist person on the ballot, not *towards* the Dems. The most racist person is usually a GOP candidate. Just like this clever turtle swims *away* from the shark's mouth, not *towards* the shark's tail.

And when the turtle gets its chance, it gets a sneaky bite in on the shark's tail!

“ ‘Those people . . . ‘ Donald said, trailing off. ‘The shape they’re in, all the expenses, maybe those kinds of people should just die.’ “

“ ‘I don’t know,’ he finally said, letting out a sigh. ‘He doesn’t recognize you. Maybe you should just let him die and move down to Florida.’ “
