I just went on a follow-fest for women with a PhD, but realized I'm already mutuals with almost everyone who shows up in the limited search results 😋

If you're a Dr. Gal or other female science communicator type, pop into the thread, say hi!

I'd love to learn about what you do 💜
(and I'm sure lots of others would too)

As Elon Musk’s geopolitical influence grows because of his closeness to incoming President Donald J. Trump, regulators in Europe have faced questions about whether they would scale down an investigation of X, the social media network that Mr. Musk owns.

On Friday, European Union officials indicated that they were not backing off.

On Monday, Donald Trump will be inaugurated as the 47th president of the United States, and the news will come at us thick and fast. So for today’s #NewstodonFriday, we’re trying our level best to avoid stories that are directly about Trump. That doesn’t mean it’s all unicorns and rainbows — we’re still in this timeline, after all — but there’s some lighter fare in there to bring a smile before the weekend. The stories here come from newsrooms that have an active presence in the fediverse, plus a couple of our own desks. We encourage you to support independent media by following the accounts here, boosting their stories, and donating money and subscribing if you can. Buckle up, folks!

Let's turn #followfriday into something more close to the spirit of the fediverse and share your favorite #hashtags instead of people. If we focus too much on following people, we mirror the boring influencer-media. Mastodon allows much more openness and inclusivity by letting anyone enter your feed if they talk about a topic you're following. So what are your favorite hashtags?


Not strictly a #FollowFriday post, maybe more of a #ShoutOut post?

But, I wanted to highlight some of the Mastodon posters I see consistently in the hashtags I've been following who have been diligently sharing information regarding the #LAFires:

@BakerRL75
@ai6yr
@MiBaWi
@steter
@mappingsupport
@meganL
@dancingdogs

Thank you, all! 🙏


Happy new year, fedi friends and welcome to the fascinating world of 2025, which has already lasted approximately 15 months. Here’s a selection of stories from newsrooms with an active presence in the fediverse, plus a couple from our own desks.These include Meta employee reactions to their new policies (not good!), an exploration of the social worker shortage in Texas, an article on making peace with our younger selves, and a story for the ages about the man who infiltrated right-wing militia and shared his experiences with @ProPublica. Please follow all the newsrooms featured, click on their stories, boost them, subscribe, donate and support any way you can.

In theory, every American is required to contribute to Medicare. In practice, @ProPublica says, billionaires including Steve Cohen, owner of the New York Mets, and hedge-fund manager Bill Ackman, are paying diddly-squat. Here’s how they do it.

What would a world without modern medicine look like? We don’t have to wonder because it happened. @TheConversationUS looks at how Victorian novels showcase the reality and devastating grief of large-scale child mortality.

And finally, the most chucklesome story in a week that’s been light on laughs: Our @NewsDesk reported on The Onion’s acquisition of Infowars, which its founder was forced to sell after being successfully sued by the families of Sandy Hook victims. “They are a true unicorn, capable of simultaneously inspiring public support for billionaires and stoking outrage at an inept federal state that can assassinate JFK but can’t even put a man on the Moon,” said CEO Bryce P. Tetraeder in a statement.

Here’s @AssociatedPress’s story on the takeover, which includes not just the site, but the social media presence, video archives, trademarks, and even Jones’ studio in Austin, Texas.

A curious theme emerged when we were compiling this week’s #NewstodonFriday — the importance of down-ballot elections in the U.S. School choice, state judicial elections, and school boards don’t get a lot of attention, but can have a long-lasting, outsized impact on people’s lives. If you’re motivated to run for something and don’t know how, it’s worth following @amandalitm, who founded the Run For Something organization. But we digress.

Also in this week’s selection, find stories about alternatives to loss and damage funds for climate disasters, going incognito, Infowars, earwigs, and, of course, Elon Musk. Please check out the stories, follow the publications, click on the stories, subscribe, donate and otherwise support if you can.

Last year, the Indian government announced they had found a huge reserve of lithium in Kashmir. Now, @restofworld reports that extraction plans have been halted as industry experts say government info on the land is “misleading and quite inadequate.”

People in Ukraine are worried about how Trump’s victory might affect them. The team at @timkmak’s Counter Offensive talked to people on the ground about their concerns. “If we get discouraged because an election has taken place in another country and we don't like the president elected, we will never have independence and autonomy,” says 21-year-old Yelyzaveta Kanievska.

Humans spend a lot of time moving in crowds. Matthew R. Francis and Maki Naro collaborate on this comic for @KnowableMag, which demonstrates how tools from fluid dynamics can help model crowd behavior and smooth the flow of crowds, potentially making us safer.

Political polarization is making us sick, according to new research from a team at New York University. @thetyee’s Crawford Kilian writes about how COVID-19 epitomizes this and whether there’s a possibility of repair.

Tech site @404mediaco says people have been canceling their subscriptions to the site out of a general sense of depression since the Republicans clinched the presidency and the Senate in the U.S. election.

In a mission statement earlier this week, the team at @ProPublica explained their plans on holding the incoming Trump administration’s feet to the fire. Here, they dive into the specific issues journalists will be following, and how to get in touch with reporters if you have information to share.

Last week, we asked #NewstodonFriday readers if anyone else felt sick at the thought of the U.S. election, and here we are. Not much levity in this week’s thread, but rather stories on the state of journalism and media, how different outlets plan to tackle the Trump administration, and even one about how political polarization can literally make you sick. We’ve sprinkled a little lighter fare in there, including a beautiful Tiny Desk concert from Meshell Ndegeocello (close your eyes and scroll to the bottom if you can’t bear to read any news). Please check out the stories, follow the publications, click on the stories, subscribe, donate and otherwise support if you can. Independent media matters now, more than ever.

My Follow Friday recommendation for this week is @TarkabarkaHolgy .

She’s a professional storyteller and author who I’ve known online for years.

Her feed is filled with references to stories and myths from every corner of the globe. I also love her occassional anecdotes about Dungeons & Dragons and parenting. She has a fantastic sense of humour.
