Here’s a block list: bsky.app/profile/did:...

I suspect the MAGA government decided to launch all these Bluesky accounts tonight to try to bait people in advance of No Kings. These people have incurable 4chan brain and this is how they operate. Block them. Do not engage. Do not give them what they want.

Where I skeet from

Sanitation measures have revolutionized human health. But they DON’T replace vaccines. Vaccinations have revolutionized human health. But they DON’T replace sanitation, either. Pretending one can do the other’s job isn’t just ignorant—it’s deadly. Read more: news.immunologic.org/p/were-losin...

In 2025, we are losing our measles-free status, just 25 years after we eliminated measles from the US because of vaccines. It’s not because our sanitation systems have been eliminated. It’s because people aren’t getting vaccinated. 1/

Hundred bucks and I delete this, thanks y'all. May I mention dude has no idea and people are right now moving like Rockettes to take what's hers into the truck before he gets home This is gonna be hilarious, we set up live feeds for her to watch

one of many reasons why I say the Second Amendment is for white people lol

Black men legally carrying guns had them so shook that Governor Ronald Reagan signed California's first gun control law in 1967.

Historian Yohuru Williams recounts the history of the Black Panther Party in the United States, established Oct 15, 1966, in Oakland, CA www.history.com/this-day-in-...

NEW: The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. We found more than 170 such incidents since the start of the second Trump administration. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

tell me you don't understand how AI works without telling me you don't understand how AI works (you cannot use this shit without stealing other people's style because the entire thing is built on stolen styles oh my god) echoing Greg Pak but this is so disappointing

Even as COVID-19 spreads at high rates, some businesses are trying to force workers to unmask. The Sick Times spoke with 5 workers affected by anti-mask attitudes in their workplaces, as well as organizers and a disability law expert, about how to push back against these policies. bit.ly/3WEZOcb

A frustrating reality of this is that I'm seeing brain fog being blamed on smartphone usage and too much time on the Internet by many parents in my area. They've come up with an answer that they believe explains the change....not realizing that long covid is a whole other beast 🫠

"In the Twin Cities today, 25% of car trips could be completed in a similar amount of time on foot, transit or bike — and the Metropolitan Council believes that figure could double with the right investments."

Since we can’t rely on the HHS, CDC, or FDA to say it, I will: MAKE SURE YOU ARE VACCINATED AGAINST MEASLES. GET YOUR MMR. Measles cases have reached their HIGHEST point since the disease WAS ELIMINATED from the United States in 2000. We are at the tipping point for the return of ENDEMIC measles.

You actually never have to read past the sentence where ANYONE, including your idols, starts non sarcastically comparing AI to divine entities Bc they are not dealing with reality. You don’t have to engage with that argument. It isn’t real

This is my fav comparison for regular internet use vs LLM's / "AI".

Quick cultural lecture time, from Sigrid Ellis: As we are in Spooky Season, why do so many horror movies of the 80s and early 90s feature extremely creepy homeless people? +

Well now, would you look at that? A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of severe disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

Nobody ever wants to talk about or admit this but it happened.

This whole interview with @lindseyboylan.bsky.social is amazing, but we need to shout this from the rooftops. There's this message that abusive men like to send that's something like "yeah, I'm an abuser, but I'm a strong man who can get things done." And no, he isn't.

Medicare (dis)Advantage plans turn a profit by delaying and denying people the care they need! We need a health care system that puts people over profit NOW.

It's very cold, especially overnight! If you find yourself with any extra fall or winter clothes or blankets, please consider bringing them to any of our drop-off locations! ❤️

15 days into the government shutdown. We cannot allow Trump to throw millions off their healthcare or raise premiums by 75% just to hand out tax breaks to his billionaire donors. This is where we are ⬇️

maybe this will help some realize that you don’t need access to cover the government effectively. in fact, it’s actually better.

Reading Shakespeare's plays is 10000 times less funny & witty than seeing them performed. English teachers should at least have students read the plays aloud & teachers should tell their students how many dick jokes there are!!! Don't leave out the innuendo, ffs! (Read the sonnets, see the plays!)

Okay, so we figured out how to pay for ut, but it's gonna make our credit card bill insane, so I did the thing: gofund.me/8da0a0dad

You ever just have to pay $6,800 all of a sudden? That's how much the yard cleanup is gonna cost. He'll do a good job though, and that'll be a big weight of our shoulders (to be replaced with the weight of credit card debt) Anyway, buy my books? 😬 alterici.itch.io

On Indigenous Peoples' Day I'm re-sharing the episode of @thisguysucked.com on which I spoke with host @ceaubin.bsky.social about why, even in his own day, people thought Christopher Columbus sucked. 💙📚 🗃 #medieval #earlymodern #histsci #renaissance #maps #geography #cartography #empire 1/2

Few patients appeal a health insurance denial, but a little-known process that requires insurers and plans to seek an independent opinion can force insurers to pay for what can be lifesaving treatment. Here’s what experts say you need to know.

It's hard to overstate just how badly and completely they screwed up.

This is valuable for media/communicators & consumers for media literacy in these times.

@firepile.bsky.social It was so great to see you! Looking forward to next year's TKD tournament for M, & to hear about the increasingly improbable names for kids in Gen Alpha! If it's nice enough, we can definitely sit on a patio with good doggos, too!

Ok, let's gooooooo! #filmhottakes #myfavmovies

"An underrated strategy of surviving an authoritarian takeover is to seem like an absolute moron who can't figure out orders well enough to follow them." sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/panopticon...

child sex abuse is a problem across ideological lines HOWEVER conservativism perfectly aligns with the value system of a child abuser

This is exactly the sort of puzzle piece that leads to no one listening to the administration if this goes on long enough but they are mad stupid

How big is ICE’s projected budget? This big: bit.ly/4o9oW6y

"With alarming regularity, the Trump administration points to imaginary extraordinary conditions as a predicate for extraordinary powers." I wrote that in June might be one of the most evergreen things I've ever written

Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do. In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap. Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.

Keep pressure on Great Value Patrick Bateman. He has until the end of the week before he actually acts on this.

You can also be like my mom and order Angelica and the Bear Prince, in fact!!! It’s out now! 🐻‍❄️

/heaves the heavy sigh of someone in Ward 13 who wants someone better than Linea Palmisano representing me but this has been my hope for years and years and yet here we are. No good option here & what Naomi suggests is probably the way to go here.

never forget linea palmisano was the only councilmember to vote against being against slave wages bsky.app/profile/wedg...

::points:: For the people insisting he gets a "pass" because his sm team are competent at dunking on a demented fascist, this is also fascism. Now go read up on his inhuman policies regarding the unhoused & disabled and stop telling CAers like me not to criticize him.
