The media blitz & outsized police response to the United Healthcare CEO assassination is nagging at me. Other victims don't get this level of attention or police response. What makes this guy's life more valuable than theirs?

Anyone want to do a #booksky #bookclub? I’m half way through How to Stop Time (Matt Haig) and then moving on to Wolf Hall (Simon Slater). Want to read with me? ❤️📚

Today, the right-wing media sets the news agenda in this country... Even the mighty New York Times follows in its wake, aping the tone they set disturbingly often. newrepublic.com/post/188197/...

“What does it mean, for a city, to make sober decent terms with death? It means living in reality. It means doing whatever it can to postpone the inevitable. It means settling for the best of bad options. But it does not mean blindly submitting to fate.” www.nytimes.com/2024/11/30/o...

Still can’t believe this guy is going to head HHS.

Octavia Butler being a time traveler or seer, will forever be a hill I'm willing to die on, because there's just no way. Parable of The Sower was published in 1993. Look at this date. #BlackBookSky #BookSky

Periodic reminder that not all activism takes place online in casual and exposed places where you can observe and judge it. Before you decide someone isn't loud enough about a Thing, consider whether they've gone to ground to get the work done. Consider doing the same.

I'm not saying Don't Recycle I'm saying we need to remove the social/commercial license from these people, block them from policymaking arenas And we need to stop them selling a proposed solution (Recycle!) that is orders of magnitude too small to fix a problem they created (forever production)

Hi @safety.bsky.app I’ve been a woman on the internet for a long time so I promise not to complain about every nasty, mean-spirited, and inaccurate list I’ve been put on but this guy put me on a “rape list” and I’d like him to be booted into the sun if possible. Thx!

There it is

this happened again today just interviewed the COO of a cooperative in North Carolina that is bringing gigabit fiber for $80 a month to long-unserved rural communities thanks to ARPA legislation those communities turned around and voted out the folks that made it happen

I'm going to start working on this, and will add to it as more major media outlets join Bluesky. I expect the pace to pick up very soon and very significantly. Major media has let us down significantly over the last ten years, but it's still vital to know what's being reported. go.bsky.app/2JyEju6
