Did you know that elephants love to take mud baths? 🐘
Elephants use mud to regulate their body temperature. The mud acts as a natural sunscreen and helps keep them cool under the hot sun.
Mud baths are social events for elephants. They often play and splash around, strengthening bonds within their herd.

Mastodon.social alt text analysis report! 🧐
Me and my friend Cristal just published a report on image description usage on mastodon.social, as a group project for the Introduction to Data Science course of the Artificial Intelligence and Sustainable Societies Erasmus Mundus Joint Master program.
Thoughts and feedback are welcome 💕
A huge thanks to @stefan for publishing the dataset on which we based our analysis!
NOTE: We are absolutely aware that the report has very little actual relevance, as the dataset contains a super limited amount of posts from one instance only. It was mainly an experimentation to test our data analysis skills.

Today in Labor History December 18, 1830: The "Swing Rioters" went on trial on this date. The rioters were agricultural laborers who fought for a minimum wage during the early decades of the 19th century. During this time, England shifted from self-sufficient, open fields to farms rented by tenant farmers. Technology, including the increasing use of threshers, and a surplus of labor, drove down wages. Farm workers in the "swing" counties of the south and east of England responded by destroying farm machinery. Hundreds were arrested, jailed and executed.

#DidYouKnow: A #Pulsar (from pulsating radio source) is a highly magnetized rotating #Neutron #Star that emits beams of electromagnetic radiation out of its magnetic poles.
The periods of pulsars make them very useful tools for astronomers. In 1983, certain types of pulsars were detected that at that time exceeded the accuracy of atomic clocks in keeping time.
The first #PulsarClock in the world was installed in St Catherine's Church, Poland, in 2011.
