Daily bunny no.3101 flying by night

A bunny catches a flight by holding both legs of a bat, who is flying across a starry night sky. Another bat follows closely behind them, and they are currently going over a small body of water.

Watch today is a Soviet-made handwound “medical watch” from 1989 by Slava. The scales help you determine the patient’s heart rate. You must wait until the seconds hand reaches 0 or 30, then count 15 patient pulses. Where the seconds hand is on the scale at that moment is the heart rate.

the reason why bluesky (relatively) succeeded in the Twitter exodus, and mastodon did not, has nothing to do with decentralization protocols & everything to do with the fact that posting on one of them looked & felt like posting on Twitter and posting on the other looked & felt like posting on phpBB

in my view the dumbest part about this mind-numbingly stupid post is the idea that the average bluesky user, who does not know what atproto is, will respond to jay's historic crash out by thinking "ah yes, i should build my own social media!" rather than "oh i guess i'll go back to instagram idk".
