What is the best gift to give to your friends for Christmas? Well, if you're Ivor Novello, apparently, it's a professionally-recorded meddly of your music, with a Christmas greeting written out! Can you imagine recieving something this beautiful from a friend? Most of these people worked with him as well, so it was probably both friends and colleagues who received it, and, I'm willing to bet, his own mother.

@ivory What is the state of the hard-coded 500 chars in #Ivory? I was experimenting with #SkyBridge and came across an issue on GitHub that the limit is not actually pulled from the instance?

@ivory Are you considering adding #Bluesky support like #openvibeapp? 🤔🙂

Valley of Song was every bit as wonderful as I thought it would be. It's the first time, though, that I ever saw a Novello play without any of his own songs. Christopher Hassall did such a good job finishing it that I couldn't tell where one man's work ended and the other's began. What really touched my heart, though, is that this took place in Wales, where Ivor was born. More so, was that some of the songs I know as a fact were sung by the Royal Welsh Ladies Choir, and probably by the Novello Davis Choir, both of which were conducted by his mother. It is the closest I will ever come to hearing them, other than one recording I have under another conductor. I almost cried when they sang Ar Hyd y Nos (All Through the Night), which I know they sung and even recorded in 1915 (I don't have it). And of course, there was a beautiful love story, too, as always.

Is there a way in Ivory to stop all Boosts in the Home feed? I notice that I can filter to show only boosts, but not to exclude them 🤔 @ivory

@ivory Sent over a note that since the 15.0 macOS upgrade my #ivoryapp on #macOS keeps incrementing the alert counter (it never resets). Never heard back on my email...so I am not sure it made it to you. Anybody else having that issue? I can temporarily reset it by removing it from the dock, but it will come back to the same counter after any new alerts.

Toll fände ich ja, wenn man die Sroll-Richtung im #Ivory auf Wunsch umstellen könnte, also Neues erscheint unten. Ich bin mehr so ein nach-unten-scroll-Typ.

> a context in which the question, Is this true or false? is relevant.. In the 1890’s that context was shattered.. (by.. illustrations..).. by the #NonPropositional use of language... #advertisers adopted the technique of using #slogans.. modern advertising.. begin[s] with the use of two.. slogans : “You press the button; we do the rest” and “See that hump?” .. #jingles started to be used, and in #1892, #ProcterAndGamble invited the public to submit rhymes to advertise #IvorySoap.

@RantyHighwayman #Ivory (subscription) works very nicely and feels like #Tweetbot of bird-site times long ago.

@ivory @zorinlynx #SSOT is the eternal curse of decentralized systems. Large #capitalization is the curse of centralized systems, and I for one consider it a worse curse. -
@ivory will Ivory for Mac require its own subscription, or will my iOS subscription work for both? Also what will be the minimum macOS requirements for Ivory for Mac?
Continuing to really enjoy #ivory for iOS, a very happy subscriber here, still peeved about how the #twitter powers that be closed down access for #tweetbot, but glad Ivory is pretty much the same experience for #Mastodon, #greatwork and #kudos to all.

And how did we get to this point? Believe it or not, it started with coming up with a substitute for #ivory...
The plastic paradox: How plastics went from elephant saviors to #EcoVillains
Do the benefits of plastics outweigh the costs?by Ross Pomeroy
January 23, 2024"It was 1869, and something needed to be done.
"With the price of ivory skyrocketing, billiard ball manufacturers were scrambling for an alternative. The prized material derived from elephant tusks was being used to craft such things as knife handles, piano keys, dice, dominoes, chessmen, and yes, billiard balls. Now, with #elephants growing scarce from overhunting, the wonder material was becoming difficult to procure and unreasonably expensive. After all, one tusk would yield just four or five balls. Leading pool table manufacturer Phelan and Collender offered $10,000 ($225,000 today) to any inventor who could discover a replacement for ivory.
"Albany inventor John Wesley Hyatt answered the call, molding together camphor, nitrocellulose, and alcohol under extreme pressure. His concoction, called celluloid, was one of the first synthetic plastics. While Hyatt’s creation proved an unwieldy material for billiard balls — insufficiently durable and mildly explosive when struck — it inspired others to formulate something better. A few decades later, American chemist Leo Baekeland came up with the petroleum-derived Bakelite. It became the first commercially successful synthetic plastic, and very likely saved elephants from #extinction."
[The article goes on to mention how #plastics and #PFAS are interconnected...]
"According to the authors of the report, plastic additives may be the most pernicious. These substances augment plastics to make them more useful to consumers: stronger, more pliable, less #flammable, non-stick, etc. However, large observational studies and research in lab animals indicate they are harming human health.
"The substances could be increasing cancer rates, reducing birth weights, inhibiting antibody responses to vaccines, raising blood pressure, and contributing to infertility. These compounds include polybrominated diphenyl ethers (#PBDE), phthalates, bisphenol A (#BPA), and per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (#PFAS).
"Philip J. Landrigan, a professor, pediatrician, and Director of the Program for Global Public Health and the Common Good at Boston College, is the lead author of the Minderoo-Monaco Commission report. He spoke with Big Think about the potential harms of plastic additives.
"Landrigan was a pediatrician during the 1970s, when lead in gasoline, paints, and toys was secretly poisoning children. He says chemicals leaching from plastics constitute a similar threat: As they’re not chemically bound to the plastic matrix, they can easily escape into the environment. #PBDEs, added as #FlameRetardants in furniture and other products, have been found in house dust and are neurotoxic, he says.
“The thousands of chemicals in plastics — #monomers, additives, processing agents, and non-intentionally added substances — include amongst their number known human #carcinogens, endocrine disruptors, #neurotoxicants, and persistent organic #pollutants,' Landrigan and his fellow authors wrote in the report.
"Given these negative effects, it may seem as if plastic is a fire-breathing dragon. While it began as an ally, it has now turned against us. If we don’t get the dragon back under control, it could spell our downfall.
"To respond to threats from plastics, the experts on the Minderoo-Monaco Commission called for a #GlobalPlasticsTreaty comparable to the Paris Climate Agreement to combat climate change. As part of the treaty, they insist that a 'cap on global plastic production with targets, timetables, and national contributions' is needed. Global plastic use is estimated to nearly triple by 2060."
