@wired.com I've been a subscriber for decades and never appreciated y'all more than now.

Young white college boys creating keywords to censor and control our highest levels of scientific research.

Thank you.

Re: Idea the election was rigged. Unlikely given the current popularity stats. In the context of current income disparity and inflation, it makes sense that ~50% of the voters voted for him & also voted blue downballot. Add scary fast social change--white patriarchy was threatened. We're bifurcated.

"Think of the fed. govt. as a car. You might have thought the election was like getting [it] serviced. Instead, ...the mechanics...tell you they have taken the parts of your car that work & sold them & kept the money. And that this was the most efficient thing to do. And that you should thank them."

@tlavagabond.bsky.social just discovered you. We may not see eye to eye on some things but I appreciate you.

Why is Elon Musk illegally downloading federal databases?

Guy from NTSB is so measured and concerned above all with truth/facts. Very comforting.

"Donald Trump has always fantasized about a deep state... that opposes him, something that didn’t exist. Now, he is well on the way to creating one. It turns out federal employees take their oath, their job, and their duty to serve very seriously." joycevance.substack.com/p/how-to-pus...

This is the most detailed info I've seen yet on any given federal agency's actual activities over the past 11 days. Chilling last paragraph. www.science.org/content/arti...

Wasn't familiar with ordo amoris but found this nice description. It makes sense to me (whether you are pagan or monotheistic or agnostic or even atheist). But I think it would dictate that you feed the stranger first if it's between kin/community and non-kin/foreigners/enemies.

Someone who follows Vance replied (very civilly) to Vance's (very uncivil, unvicepresidential) comments to the British MP!

Excellent advice. www.reddit.com/r/questions/...

Correlation is not necessarily causation but this sure looks like a huge suit by grieving families. I guess I am not planning to fly anytime soon.

"Asked for his thoughts on Medicaid reform, Kennedy first said “the premiums are too high, the deductibles are too high.” 🤣

Illinois gov talking about how all federal funding systems (including Medicaid) went down after the freeze announcement. Thankfully a fed judge blocked, at least for the weekend.

Very, very disturbing that they are quashing this truthteller. Boycott CNN. www.yahoo.com/news/jim-aco...

This is more of a reason to ban TikTok than any other. This is a list of Holocaust memoirs.

"That is terrible. But, to be fair, a meteorologist is never supposed to be that accurate." 🤣 www.jsonline.com/story/entert...

"Firefighters have made progress...with the Palisade Fire 87% contained, the Eaton Fire 95% contained and the Hughes Fire, which broke out on Wednesday morning, 92% contained, according to a Sunday morning estimate by California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection." Hallelujah. 🙏

"[Since] Congress created the position [of secretary of defense] in 1947, in the wake of World War II, every person who has held it has come from a senior position in elected office, industry, or the military..." until now with the confirmation of Fox News weekend host Pete Hegseth.

@kris-shannon.bsky.social welcome!

@sconsta902.bsky.social are you still a member?

Dying in a mental asylum now, because I'm still trying to convince people that South Park—and Family Guy—normalized bigotry in the name of spoofing it; and an endless doomer chorus of "bigotry was always this bad" are missing the fact that, no, a majority of 18-25 boys were not bigots in 2010.

Get ready. Trump is going to fire most of the VA workforce, 70% of which are Veterans, then to "fix" the problems he created, he's going to privatize the VA and send our veterans to expensive, shitty corporate health mills after he slashes health benefits so he and his buddies can get richer.

We will defeat, delay, and dilute the inhumane acts of this new administration.

Who cares about the Arctic cold blast or world events happening today?

It sounds like TikTok is not particularly malicious or threatening. citizenlab.ca/2021/03/tikt...

Not entirely happy w it but past the point where I have been messing it up and fixing it...I think it's done

@copicofficial.bsky.social thank you for making the past 8 months joyful.
