A chilling read. Vhttps://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/12/national-security-strategy-democracy/685270/?gift=52kn2n2QUncIXCJue8x_XJthrblYN3Nyuy8FuucXM7w

theconversation.com/i-have-it-in... This article is a tough read, but should be required reading for everyone. I can’t imagine how difficult it was for the interviewers on the project to record so much horror. And to think that these transcripts were hidden until the 1990s. #history

NEW: West Virginia has collected $34 million from its medical cannabis program. It hasn’t spent a penny. mountainstatespotlight.org/2025/10/22/3...

“…the two transmission lines would cost West Virginians more than $440 million over the next 40 years.”

The mystery of medical diagnosis!

West Virginia nearly achieved universal broadband. Then Trump changed the rules. apple.news/AX2RV7pbxS6u...

The witch hunts of 1400-1780 and today's misinformation crisis have striking parallels. Both were fueled by new media technologies that allowed false information to spread rapidly and widely. buff.ly/KzabXlL By Julie Walsh @wellesley.edu

What a horror story. Why would anyone come to the USA for a vacation? Story of a Swiss woman detained in humiliating conditions at JFK + in NJ detention before being deported. www.nzz.ch/english/you-...

This is an outstanding read! Seven and a half chapters that will make you think differently about how you think.

So true!

Diseases are spreading. The CDC isn’t warning the public like it was months ago www.npr.org/2025/05/21/n...

Beautifully written essay that makes my heart hurt.

Q

Tour of "the Scottish play" happening now in WV. I saw them at the beginning of the tour and this performance of Shakespeare's MACBETH is outstanding. If you can go see, DO! #ShakespeareinWV

Time to watch this old movie again. #Hackers #AngelinaJolie #RISC

This is insane. Arguably the greatest achievement of the first Trump administration was Operation Warp Speed. And mRNA technology has tremendous potential. Recall recent news that mRNA vaccines show promise against pancreatic cancer in early trials www.nbcnews.com/health/cance...

Vulture Capitalism — a most apt term.

I cannot express how much I adore @randyrainbow.bsky.social

youtu.be/pvT3aQjLxdE Here's a 🎶 twist on Coldplay's thumping #VivaLaVida we're calling "Puppets on a Kremlin String?" It reflects on the grotesque media spectacle hosted by #Trump & #Vance yesterday at the White House. In solidarity with Zelensky & Ukraine. #SlavaUkraini #Dontabandonthem

Americans tend to equate someone having money with someone having ability. Perhaps, watching idiots like Donald Trump and Elon Musk ruin everything will dispel that superficial assumption. People get money for all kinds of reasons, some legal, that have nothing to do with ability. #RichFathers

Judging from the number of cat vs dog pics on my timeline, I think most Bsky users are cat people. More dogs, please. I’m loving @wolfdaily.bsky.social 🐺.

Sex is so complicated. "In White-throated Sparrows, we see “masculine” and “feminine” traits distributing themselves in a manner clearly orthogonal to gonadal sex." www.scientificamerican.com/article/a-ba...

Little known fact: West Virginia has a professional touring Shakespeare troupe called The Rustic Mechanicals. I got to see their final dress rehearsal last night — a truly outstanding performance of the Scottish play. #ShakespearienceWV More details at www.instagram.com/p/DGBvzk9PvM...

No, 150-year-olds aren't collecting Social Security benefits. Elon Musk claims to have found rampant fraud; but there's a much simpler explanation.

It would seem that a knowledge and understanding of history in the realm of computer programming is as essential as a knowledge and understanding of political, social, and economic history.

When I heard Musk say this on Tuesday, my assumption was that it was a programming issue. Because I can code and have written to databases and because I am familiar with other examples of default values being misinterpreted. Yet somehow Musk isn't.

Today the CDC, tomorrow the BLS? paulkrugman.substack.com/p/lies-damne...

How God and good men hate so foul a liar.

🚨 The CDC has been silenced by Trump—stay informed with daily AMA updates. The MMWR typically runs 20–25 pages with four or more reports on disease investigations, health trends, and public health developments. Last Thursday’s edition, 8 pages with two reports. www.yahoo.com/news/voice-c...

every day we see more and more evidence of society descending into utter lawlessness and chaos

"The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive and judicia[l] in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self–appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny." (James Madison, Federalist No. 51, 1788)

An important follow up to his first post about how we're absolutely in the middle of a coup, @brockm.bsky.social explains how simply calling out the truth in the face of a bombardment of lies is critical. www.techdirt.com/2025/02/04/t...

Why does the world’s richest man, a man no one voted for, have access to my Social Security number?

Thank you @isaacbogoch.bsky.social!

Because the media is already getting everything as wrong as they possibly can, let's go over what actually happened with Colombia yesterday. Under Biden/Harris, Colombia accepted more than 400 deportation flights, 120 just in 2024 alone. These were normal commercial planes. 1/

What a lie. Here's the Supreme Court in 2012 making clear that simply being in the country without permission is NOT a crime: "As a general rule, it is not a crime for a removable alien to remain present in the United States." It's a civil violation, not a crime.

West Virginia is failing to get foster kids the mental health help they need. mountainstatespotlight.org/2025/01/28/f...
