Col ritmo delle scorse due ore (12500 all'ora) si raggiungeranno le 500 mila firme poco dopo le 14. Con un'accelerata, anche prima! (E comunque firmate anche dopo il quorum!) #referendumCittadinanza
Grafico a linea. Sulle ascisse, la data (dal 13 settembre); sulle ordinate, il numero di firme online per il referendum sulla cittadinanza. Crescita moderata fino al 20 settembre (sotto le 100 mila), poi cresce rapidamente nei giorni successivi. Per ora (10:20 del 24 settembre) raggiunge 452 mila.

420 mila firme. Oggi è il giorno in cui si supererà il quorum @RefCittadinanza (ma è bene continuare a firmare anche oltre le 500 mila!) Ultima settimana utile! Firmate al: pnri.firmereferendum.giustiz…
Grafico a linea. Andamento del numero di firme tra il 13 e il 24 settembre. Si vede un andamento a crescita sempre maggiore. La crescita di oltre 100 mila firme nel solo 23 Settembre si è flessa solo di poco durante la notte. Il valore attuale è di 420 mila. Dati raccolti parzialmente da screenshot postati su X.

Just on time for #DNADay let me introduce you to Pol the polymerase. Pol was happily replicating a strand of DNA when something unexpected happened... 1/6

I have 2 invites to b__sky and some (possibly misguided) hope that, if a migration finally happens, that place wins over the Meta one. Any takers I know? DM me! (unfortunately, of 15 bubbles I like to lurk in, almost only one – the illustrators – has moved there so far)

I finally got an answer. They don't grow overnight: it's more like two months. 🌸 A daily photo since May 2. [Description: Timelapse of hollyhock plants growing next to a wall in England. The flowers suddenly appear towards the end]

Just for fun I made an infinite version of this. I'm not even sure that this is a relevant topological object. However, I found out that making animations by hand is very zen.

Hello random user from the future who is searching Twitter to see if anybody has ever pointed out that Michael Cumpsty (Doug Graner in #Severance) is in fact former Italian PM Mario Draghi.

Hello from circa 1990 👋 My first PC used cassette tape as "hard drives", and displayed up to 16-color palettes scanning 320x200 pixels on catod-tube monitors, ...but it also supported input via optical pen!

Thomson MO6 / Olivetti Prodest PC128: x.com/computermuseum/status/…

The Thomson MO6 was introduced in France in 1986. It featured 128 KB of RAM, a 40×25 text display, and built-in Microsoft BASIC. It was widely used in French schools. In Italy it was sold by Olivetti as the Prodest PC128. #MuseumFromHome Learn more: computinghistory.org.uk/det/…

[ Not sure a 🐦-substitute exists yet: my ideal one would have a similar level of cross-pollination, peeking into conversations from nerds in disparate fields, direct interaction between orgs and activists, as well as live reporting (and yes, a global virality component for fomo)

So, given the current exodus, for a while I won't be able to lurk on the same great people and conversations as I used to. My hope is that something will emerge that ticks my boxes (I have accounts on several 🐘 instances but mmh..) – or even a credible pivot here.

For now I've downloaded names, bios and pinned tweets from all my following and followers using this tool unflwrs.syfaro.com/. On whichever new platform, I'll go look for them. (Make yourselves recognizable!) ]
