Phil Wilmarthpwilmart@scicomm.xyzNov 10, 2025, 12:50 AM@ricci Do you have a link to the podcast? This sounds really interesting to listen to…
Nov 10, 2025, 12:51 AM"We'll be discussing some breaking scientific news from @ricci on the next episode of our podcast…"
I Forgetepilanthanomai@signs.codesNov 10, 2025, 12:54 AM@ricci "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should." — somebody hot, probably
Jay BearJbear5@floofy.techNov 10, 2025, 12:57 AM@ricci Well, sure. There are also YouTube videos.

Nov 10, 2025, 4:25 AM@ricci I'd laugh if it weren't the case that I've actually been fired for practicing Good Science, but the good science was not visible to (and therefore appreciated by) the business types who controlled my paycheck. It's a funny joke until you're fired from a lack of visibility.
ChookMother 🇦🇺🦘anne_twain@theblower.auNov 10, 2025, 4:58 AM@ricci 😂😂😂 Like we used to in the good ol' days.

- Rob RicciricciNov 10, 2025, 4:52 PM
@kura Unfortunately, they did not reveal this. Scientists, man.
Rachel A. Rosenyouseeatortoise@wandering.shopNov 11, 2025, 12:17 PM@ricci hmm, does this theory stand up to peer review?
pcbeardpcbeard@sfba.socialNov 11, 2025, 4:56 PM@ricci Future generations will scratch their heads wondering why long form streamed audio blather is named for an obsolete portable audio playback device. Why weren’t Walkman or Xune similarly referenced?
- Rob RicciricciNov 11, 2025, 5:04 PM
@pcbeard what you don't Xune your tunes?
