+1 for @antennapod.org. I switched a couple of months ago after trying a few other apps post-Google. Antennapod is great.

Quem usa android e não usa o @antennapod.org está errado. É open source e, claro, gratuito. Sem propaganda.

Inclusive, não ouça podcast pelo Spotify ou YouTube music. Não troque a independência pela conveniência.
After Google podcasts stopped, I've tested many podcast apps across Android. The best was @antennapod.org, with all its options designed keeping the user in mind. Works smoothly, no pesky ads (how?!!!) and a great forum too.
I've switched over and never going back.

"#Deepfake pornography via mediums like revenge porn & nonconsensual deepfakes is a tsunami waiting to ... harm not just celebrities but the average folks."

A scary, but important warning by @SatyenKBordoloi that needs urgent judicial attention!

This is a shock, Jane Goodall (1934-2025) has died. One of my dad’s cousins knew her & would regularly give me updates on her adventures & chimps. She was a great force for good & part of my childhood. 91 is a good age, but it’s personal when your heroes die.

Speculation about electricity demand from data centers is arguably the biggest driver of fossil fuel expansion in the US. Glad to hear that Rhodium will analyze the range of data center demand pathways this fall, but meanwhile simplistic projections like this confuse more than enlighten.

Curious about which fields poast the most?

Medicine / Social science / Environmental science / Biochemistry

Note that these aren't corrected for field size, so love the strong showing from earth science too ⚒️🧪

We are facing global consequences of climate change, biodiversity loss, & pollution. To feed an additional 5.5 billion urban people this century, we must transform the unsustainable agrifood system.

Not enough people recognise the #RESEARCH that goes into making such period-based drama.
And certainly not enough people care to appreciate it!
#SaareJahanSeAcchaOnNetflix is a MUST-WATCH series...
