    Interesting but not really helpful. I found something in a recent FAQ that says I should add an article instead of a post, but the option to add an article is not on the menu on my instance, as it is in their screenie

    Also I’m a mastodon user, and my account there is the focus of my microblogging activity. The user there follows this account, so my posts here, show up there. The short story is, the microblog here is essentially a right pain in my ass.

    At least now I know what it is.

    He’s facing consequences now. The conspiracy trial he was trying to have moved to January just got it’s schedule compressed down to ‘today’, the hearing got immediate billing, all witnesses were heard immediately and state organized crime charges leveled instanter.

    This is, “having fucked around” he has now “found out”.

    “Trial” is incorrect. In my excitement I conflated “trial” and “hearing”. That I got it wrong before coffe though, doesn’t change how fucked this guy is.

    Edited accordingly.

    Addendum:
    There are warrants out for him and 18 accomplices. They have 3 days grace to turn themselves in. Anyone who doesn’t turn themselves in by then will be subject to arrest.

    They gave him enough time with socmed to finish hanging himself.

    According to my understanding, beyond the event horizon, gravity is infinite.

    I am not a physicist - I’m a guy who read Prof. Hawking. Given the nature of llight vis a vis observation, inside the singularity, mass and gravity approach infinity.

    Mass bends spacetime into gravity. Gravity bends light. Infinite mass > infinite gravity > stops light == singularity.

    Note that things happening near the singularity are not the same as things that happen beyond the event horizon.

    You are saying something I’ve been saying for years. In fact, it was my parent’s generation who I saw anticipating armaggeddon, and they expected it in the year 2000. It’s what the lyrics of ‘Party Like It’s 1999’ are all about.

    I get the idea that when it didn’t happen that way, it surprised a lot of them, and eventually pissed off a bunch of them. They felt like they’d been cheated out of the second coming, or something.

    While my parents are passed now, and didn’t really share the perspective anyway, I think there are still a bunch of these grizzled old assholes around, ready to see it all burn before they croak, just so they can be around when it happened.
