@nuclearanthro.bsky.social Calling your attention to this very important matter. H/T to @silvermansecurity.bsky.social , and I see you already follow, so it may have come across your feed naturally, but it seemed too important for you to miss.

1. I will always have time to fight the surveillance state 2. V tired of tech bros using vulnerable/disabled populations as their exemplar “but think of the good!” bec they sure as hell didn’t do the actual work to back up their responsible tech claims (looking at you Neuralink and Space Karen)

@rykaaoki.bsky.social Just finished “Light from Uncommon Stars”. That is one of the most beautiful and touching books I’ve ever read. Thank you for putting it in the world. And thank you to my lovely wife @gattakat.bsky.social for suggesting it to me. Our edition is now updated as instructed :-)

@mayorofseattle.bsky.social Please take a look at municipal broadband for our city!

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Always relevant. From 2017. gregpak.com/holocaust-re...

@niais.bsky.social Are you able to provide any insight into the mind of The Supreme Babka on this critical matter?

@funranium.bsky.social Seems like your style

@wilsonforseattle.bsky.social Can we get Seattle to follow @gregpak.net ‘s suggestion for NYC to open official accounts here on BlueSky instead of (or in addition to) Twitter/X? @seattlefas.bsky.social is here already, but it looks like there’s at least three other ofc. acts that could join them!

@wellerstein.bsky.social Seems like a sub-optimal* place to be putting all those over-pressure PSIs. *Unless you’re optimizing for collateral damage to an area filled with critical infrastructure.

Not directly an answer, but related: Picture of a model for PA-39 concept from the same company. Appears to be four CH-53s bolted together with a Minuteman I (?) shaped ‘log’ slung underneath. piasecki.com/fnp-accompli...

@muellershewrote.com Here’s one for the ‘Flip it Blue’ segment. As detailed in the episode, Rs actively hoping for low turn-out and voter suppression because if Ds win, and ‘Dems will smell blood in the water’! Georgia, vote D for Public Service Commission! Lower your power bills!

FYI @muellershewrote.com

@muellershewrote.com Expansion of the court hack? Not just 8th Cir. but all of PACER now breached? Maybe this was in prior reporting and I just missed it, but this seems like an expansion/getting worse.

@dankaszeta.bsky.social Just in case it comes up while you’re out of town, we stopped by to check on the palace for you. We have confirmed they haven’t boarded it up in your absence. Also, I’m up to chapter 5 of “Toxic” and it’s a very engaging read so far. Looking forward to the rest!

Really bad, y'all. It's been shaky but this, what is getting announced right now? This is us losing Earth & Space Science in the US.

An Emerging Risk To #RadioAstronomy 📡 Using a prototype SKA-Low instrument, a new analysis from @icrar.bsky.social has detected Starlink signals leaking into protected radio bands. @cosmicrami.com writes about this new study. www.spaceaustralia.com/news/emergin... 📸 Astro_Work 🔭 #SpaceAustralia

@governorferguson.bsky.social Please follow @govpritzker.illinois.gov ‘s excellent lead here and keep our fellow Washingtonians safe from government surveillance.

@funranium.bsky.social In case you require More MEMES and More BRAMP in your life.

@volts.wtf I believe this is Relevant to Your Interests.

@wolfhoundfella.bsky.social Ireland getting in the game here!

An EEOC admin. judge sent a fiery all-department email this AM alleging: 1. Trump's exec orders & instructions to target private citizens with them are illegal. 2. the judge had sent an earlier email with a similar tone yesterday that later vanished from their sent folder & colleagues' inboxes.

The @sarahmackattack.bsky.social signal has been raised:

While I still can… I voted. @kcelections.bsky.social

@jayapal.house.gov @murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov I’m a constituent and I want you fighting to keep our nation functioning. Go to OPM and protect our federal civil servants from unelected, unauthorized people having access to their PII.

For your consideration @niais.bsky.social @gattakat.bsky.social

Please enjoy these Lunar New Year greetings from a Smöl Orange in a Fancy Hat @erikaishii.bsky.social

Exciting News @funranium.bsky.social ! @gattakat.bsky.social has very kindly Blessed me with Spam Musubi!

The fascists should find it hard TO DO EVERYTHING. They should not be able to find people to work for them. People should act like they are invisible. You did not hear them. You did not get that email. Oooh, did you ask for a pencil? I thought you said stencil.

Let’s talk about resistance after a conqueror takes power. Specifically let’s talk about this bendy yellow building, and what it shows us about the moment the Florentine Republic finally fell to its kleptocratic/proto-capitalist banking-fortune Medici conquerors 1/?

Excellent thread on thinking about resistance ON THE MARGIN. It’s not an all-or-nothing binary. Trump may win a lot, but he can still win MORE or LESS, and every “less” is someone vulnerable whose life is better. Maybe not perfect, but better. And not everyone. But some. All those margins count.

This seems relevant to your interests @hodieheathen.bsky.social

the way people who don’t have the stones to fight fires themselves are going after women in the LAFD is a fucking joke know what my oldschool, GOP, good old boy fire chief said to me when I mustered up the courage to walk in and sign my pasty little gay ass up? “thank you, here’s your gear”

Reskeet if you think Jesse Singal should be banned.

Think I've quote-skeeted before but I will again. A week ago I was one of those saying I'd pay a substantial amount to keep this site going (it's worth much more to me than the $96/y example in this) I wouldn't pay 50p for a site that's not safe for my trans friends.

🏳️‍⚧️ Bluesky is for trans people 🏳️‍⚧️

@funranium.bsky.social For the Wizard Collection

Reskeet this until it breaks. Then reskeet it again. We need to flood Congress with phone calls TODAY to make sure they don't slip the dangerous and misguided Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) into a must-pass year end bill. This bill would make kids LESS safe and threatens LGBTQ ppl & human rights.

At least someone in Congress is standing up for trans kids.

Storytime. In 2005, my mom died from cancer, but the real cause was the actions taken by an insurance company 12 years earlier. What happened to her was evil, hard to identify or fight, and hidden from the public by legal mechanisms. Because of that, I have no idea how often it has happened.

@muellershewrote.bsky.social Virtual pod pet tax. Adorable fur babies need new homes in LA!

Every time we see this, we should repost it. Let's make it the anti-fascist version of the "Tom Holland Lip lip syncing to Umbrella in a corset" video: everyone must reshare every time, and no one gets annoyed.

People are not ready for the level of insanity that's coming. A brief list of things that are nearly 100% guaranteed to happen: * Prosecution of Democrats, journalists, and public figures (Fauci) that angered Trump (or Kash Patel) * Court martialing or replacing much of military leadership. 1/n

it's clear now that republican trolls are squatting here. i know it's tempting to engage, but i cannot stress enough that blocking is the only way to preserve this community. block and move on. block and move on. block and move on.

@volts.wtf Check this out!

@volts.wtf @dansavage.bsky.social Relevant to your recent conversation (which I found both simultaneously engaging and depressing!):
