Reposting again for those who missed it:

Huh. I noticed I lately haven't seen a post from that one big art account championing for activism against this platform or real world petitioning. Did they leave bsky?

I found an alien in my garden this morning here at @casabentbill.bsky.social #CostaRica I think this is Membracis dorsata, a species of leafhopper. #invertebrates #insects #nature

When the House held a moment of silence to honor the Capitol Police on the one year anniversary of the January 6 insurrection, literally none of the Republicans-other than Dick and Liz Cheney-attended That day, Mike Johnson and MAGA essentially spat on these heroes-both in word AND in deed

Inkitt is a notorious scam 'publisher'. Of course a deluded billionaire would invest in them. kestrelcasey.com/2022/11/30/o...

Would it surprise you that the owner of Scientific American's parent company, Stefan von Holtzbrinck, invested $37 million in Inkitt, an AI firm? What a SHOCK

On Friday I’m going to have a premium newsletter with a generous (2600 word) free intro about the nasty demands of Sam Altman and OpenAI. They need $161 billion in the next six months - it’s the only way for them to complete any of the plans they have agreed to. A truly nonsensical time.

In 2021 Afghan women started an online campaign to protest the Taliban's female dress code by posting photos of what traditional Afghan clothes look like #AfghanWomen #WomensArt

I took my cat to the vet today. He fought fiercely. He so thick he doesn't have a neck so I couldn’t grab him by the scruff of neck. Lots of (human) blood were spilt. I imagine same is going on at the vet…. I named him Mimaki. The red smudge on the sketch is (human) blood. みまきちゃん。

Increases in social media use during early adolescence were significantly associated with lower performance in key areas of cognitive function, according to data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study. https://www.medpagetoday.com/pediatrics/generalpediatrics/117911?trw=no

But after not getting enough orders, the company closed. Managing partner Kenneth Ragland said: “Lots of people talk about Made in the USA as being so necessary, but when the rubber meets the road, most Americans want cheap goods, which do not make it easy for US firms to survive.”

I interviewed one of these factory workers in Los Angeles. She gets paid three cents to sew a zipper, five cents for a collar, and seven cents to prepare the top part of a skirt. This is how fast fashion brands like Fashion Nova can put "Made in USA" tags on dress shirts that retail for only $25

There are, of course, ways to save money in this business. Many US clothing factories run on what's known as a "piece rate" system, where workers are paid per operation, not by the hour. This system allows factories to skirt minimum wage laws. It's also how we get US sweatshops

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States. Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

When you’re that rich no one ever tells you to shut the fuck up so you think everything you have to say is interesting

"Ah, little godling, this rush of battle makes me oh, so excited! You won't mind keeping me company awhile longer after we're done, mm?~" Aphrodite, winner of my latest poll!

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Truck for @ngreentail.bsky.social 🔥 Seeing your OC in so many different art styles is so inspiring! I had to draw her too. Now I'm tempted to try out some new styles myself ☺️ #TruckDTIYS

Jordan Peterson claims he has CIRS, a pseudoscience condition supposedly caused by “toxic mold” This is a “diagnosis” of the wellness industry. His daughter, Mikhaila, has a history of the same claims. I wrote about this last year in Skeptical Inquirer: skepticalinquirer.org/exclusive/to...

Each year in the United States, pollution from the oil & gas industry causes 91K premature deaths, more than 10K pre-term births, 216K cases of childhood asthma, & more than 1600 cancer cases. People of color are significantly more affected, with the biggest burden in predominantly Black communities

COVER REAVEAL MEET VAMPURR Her fur shines blacker than a raven’s feathers. Her eyes glow greener than a witch’s brew. But most unusual of all are her long, needle-sharp fangs. This is her story... In bookstores on 7/6/26 Written by me, illustrated by the incredible @lennywendraws.bsky.social

Deep dive into the surge in US pedestrian deaths: "It’s not that more pedestrians are getting hit by vehicles; it’s that the ones that are getting hit are more likely to die." "[That] seems like fairly strong evidence for the theory that the rise in large SUVs is behind the uptick in ped deaths."

Your take is not wrong @hyperlexic.bsky.social. Solar + battery cost ($104/MWh) is already cheaper than traditional generation cost. It's also 22% less than it was just a year ago and prices are expected to continue to fall. ember-energy.org/latest-insig...
