Imagine, if you will, that NASA updated its website to suggest gravity might not exist, prompting CalTech and CERN to release statements saying, "With great sadness, we can no longer recommend listening to NASA." This is what's happening in epidemiology.

NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected. And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.* Tax the rich. Greg Ryan in @bloomberg.com:

hello fellow artists. google has fallen. pinterest/duckduckgo AI filters don't work. do not despair; here is a list i made of places to find reference images without having to sift through piles of worthless garbage: doodlemancy.dreamwidth.org/20757.html 🚯 #NoAI #HumanArtists #ArtistsOnBluesky

NO WARRIOR CAN FIGHT ALONE. ASK FOR HELP IF YOU NEED IT.

Oh wait! Figured out how to get rid of the garbage Gemini button in Chrome: - Right-click - Unpin Gone!

FYI. If you want to fool around with impact and damage scenarios for different size and types of asteroids, this is a really fun and horrifying simulator neal.fun/asteroid-lau...

The next time you look at a book or film or game and sneer at how being very smart and very charismatic just makes the whole plot go by in Easy Mode for a character, I need you to remember that WH meeting yesterday.

look at all these poorly drawn cat mousepads! your desk deserves a holiday glow-up too 💅 poorlycatdraw.threadless.com

Lord, I see what you have done for others

I would like all of you, each and every one, to go google “Miss Universe National Costume Competition 2025 Norway” right now

Everyone stop acting weird and shocked about MTG. She has been systematically distancing herself from the current GOP for months and months. She has a plan reform herself under a new image ON THE RIGHT that’s not part of a sinking ship. She’s not suddenly changing her tune! SHE’S AN OPPORTUNIST

They line up perfectly.

my bank account vs cc debt is truly horrifying rn and I’m still waiting for payment for some gigs to come thru so shares/support is appreciated as I’m almost in the red michiums.bigcartel.com ko-fi.com/michiums

Alright, bear with me. Idea for an urban fantasy novel. Rent is high, itty bitty living space doesn't come with phenomenal cosmic power, good luck on groceries beyond ramen and Skeeti Os, and your utilities will require you to sell your blood. One day you find a ad-listing too good to be true!

Absolutely the fuck not, but I made it through yet another week without a screaming crying hysterical breakdown, so give me my paycheck and shut the fuck up you ableist douchebag

Thread but also just don't tell Paypal anything. No "what is this for" you both know what it's for. If you send a friend some money for dinner or something and you say "for friday night", even odds they get banned as a sex worker.

A lot of work went into this piece, and it is well worth reading – and saving. Thank you, Michelle. #Texas

Welcome to our three-part series on book rebinding, where Library of Congress advanced book conservation interns Brittany and Devon will take you through all the steps of rebinding a book from the Library's Thomas Jefferson Library Collection. Stay tuned for parts two and three!

Yes. Yes he is. He's extrajudicially murdered over 80 people the South American coast.

If you start by saying how many people you are going to arrest, the entire operation should be enjoined. That’s not how anything should work.

Clarification: Accepting payments for commissions through Friends & Family is against TOS (which you agree to by making an account), and it is TAX FRAUD. Do not ask for comm payments via F & F. Dont let an artist convince you to pay this way, because your account can be taken down as well.

Okay, this causes me physical pain to say, but RFK is (for once) not actually being a total weirdo here. He’s a guest of the Nez Perce at a fish hatchery. The Pacific lamprey and the salmon are culturally important to the Nez Perce people, and they are lobbying to remove dams from the Snake River.

Important to note here that the FBI was able to access the chat because of an informant who was in the chat. Your Signal chats are only secure if you know and trust the people in them. But be careful not to spread this in a way that makes people think "Signal is not really encrypted." Unhelpful.

New from me: I talked to CDC staffers about the new vaccines and autism page. They said things like: “The best way I can put it is it feels like we’re on a hijacked airplane.” “I think people are starting to see that we can’t fulfill our mission here.”

PLEASE tell every author you know about this!

I do not want to create an account for a one-time purchase. Yes, I want a bag. Yes, I want a receipt, printed out, not emailed or texted. No, I will not download your app for future weak discounts. Please just let me be a customer like it’s 1987

At a recent gathering of Rogers Park volunteers, we heard from a neighbor who choked up telling us about their dad turning around and going home when he heard whistles up the street. "One of you may have saved his life that day." It all matters, it really does.

If a self described socialist from an ethnic and religious minority group that Trump disdains can get this out of Trump with 15 minutes, imagine what Trump has given away to Putin.

With ICE and border patrol goons spreading out across the country, I put together a resource guide for buying, printing, and distributing whistles, based on my own experience. Now is the time to whistle up, hope this helps. dansinker.com/posts/202…

PSA to anyone thinking about playing where the wind meets , I was recommended to try it out by friends but found out that it had AI chatbot npcs and uninstalled immediately. Posting here to let people know since the game itself does not openly say it uses AI and it wasted my time today .

Freeing the Spirits of the Sea

All of our new titles are up, along with a load of Lackadaisy books! Let's get that holiday shopping outta the way now, eh?

That whole "make America healthy again" doesn't seem to be working too well.

Wizened Millennials sneering at Gen Alpha: I told you the old ways are best (Gen X, petting its moldering set of the 1983 World Book Encyclopedia: Soon. Soon.)

So Ice went to Charlotte, got scared of a 70 yr old lady w/ a shotgun, got ran into the woods over night, done had their cars left on brake pads in front of their hotels, and Now facing Open Carrying, 2A loving, Law abiding citizens & protesters and they shookith!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

This. The block button is right there, and unlike Twitter there's no mechanism for someone to easily bypass a block and harass you. It's called the "nuclear block" for a reason. The toxic "blocking = giving up" mentality does not exist here, so just don't engage with folks who live to be miserable

also, never abbreviate "assistant professor' as "ass prof"

8675309 is prime, and so is 8675311, so if you ever need a middlin'-large pair of adjacent primes to test your cryptographic suite, all you need is a 1980s earworm and a +2 and you're all set.

If you read the article here, what seems to have happened is that the FBI had direct access to a person who was in the group. It doesn’t say whether the person was an infiltrator or whether the FBI got them to share info some other way.

This rare burn generator is getting used so much I added an admin panel 🤣 Now you can suggest new insults! A bunch still need to be edited out or improved, but - COME! Defeat your online enemies with snark!

I know people are closely following what's going on the US and the horrors of ICE, but do you know how Canada is quickly and quietly is growing its deportation machinery? Canada plans to increase deportations by 25 percent over the next two years. 25 PERCENT!!! Here are 5 other things to know:

don’t talk to me

Every country that does this only bans it for trans people. It's still approved for cis children www.ctvnews.ca/health/artic...

🌟 My print shop is open for one week! 🌟 devinellekurtz.shop Fine art prints start at $25 with much lower international shipping costs this year and five new pieces!

Why does "entrepreneur" mean "a man who takes VC cash to make vaporware and then lay everybody off" and not "the woman selling homemade papusas in a pop-up tent at the bottom of my street"?

It's Angry Gato!! I painted thislil menace this week. Got lots of weird cat stuff up on my website www.angrygatodesigns.com and of course you can check out my upcoming Ask the Cats oracle at www.angrygatodesigns.com/kickstarter Love the Thursday cat show 😍

dont fucking let them gaslight us on who the military swears an oath to. they do not swear an oath to do what the president wants. they swear an oath to defend the constitution. and when the president gives an illegal order, you do not follow it. the guide post for our military is the constitution.

Hey Bluesky, could you help spread the word about my Patreon? My goal for the day is one new patron. Patrons help support my art and my existence. You'll receive positive affirmations from Felmer, etiquette advice from Mothman, & other fun posts. www.patreon.com/jeremycreature
