Taking a quick detour from our 1.0rc3 milestone work! 🛤️
This morning we added a small but meaningful feature:
🔗 Link previews now display the author's fediverse account when available.
➡️ Next up: Author attribution controls in Bonfire's verification settings, so writers can decide exactly how they're credited when their articles travel across the fediverse. ✍️
It will be available in next release to test it out!

A 2015 study found that lower-skilled male players of Halo 3 were more hostile towards teammates with a female voice, but behaved more submissively to players with a male voice.
Higher-skilled male players, on the other hand, behaved more positively towards female players. The authors argued the male hostility towards female gamers in terms of evolutionary psychology, writing, "female-initiated disruption of a male hierarchy incites hostile behaviour from poor performing males who stand to lose the most status". (100]
Still the best gaming fact.

Protip from a 32 yo woman who has a STEM degree and almost all male-coded hobbies: If a man starts testing* you about your interests, hobbies, or job, don’t engage him — just walk away. Those men are not worth a single ounce of effort and you aren’t required to justify yourself to anyone.
*Think the type of guy who hears you like Band and immediately goes, “Oh yeah? What were Band’s first three albums???” as some sort of gotcha
Das Desaster um die Wahlen zu den Bundesverfassungsrichter*innen hat es so noch nicht gegeben! @BriHasselmann macht im #Bundestag klar, wer dafür verantwortlich ist: Jens Spahn & Friedrich Merz.
Das Verhalten der Union ist eine Gefahr für unsere #Demokratie & das #Bundesverfassungsgericht 👇
Why don't politicians in general admit that we must #TaxTheRich?
> In some ways its astonishingly simple. We allowed the collective management of the national interest to be corrupted by the idea that naked #individualism would provide more wealth for ‘everyone’, infamously, it would ‘trickle down’. It did no such thing. It never will. It only ever gushed rapidly upwards. We need a reset.
It has officially begun. The CRA info request counter is no longer at zero.
Die AfD nutzt die Fußball-EM der Frauen, um auf dem Rücken der Spielerinnen ihre Hetze voranzutreiben. Die Entgleisungen des AfD-Politikers Daniel Wald sind kein Einzelfall. Eva von Angern, Vorsitzende der Linksfraktion im Landtag von Sachsen-Anhalt hat nun Strafanzeige gegen Wald erstattet.
Hold up. Didn’t this fool just get 100k in mutual aid funding
This dude is deranged.

Das rechtskonservative deutsche Bürgertum kommt zu sich selbst. Endlich wieder offen mit den Faschisten feiern.
