Said it a thousand times, but the fact that the general public does not understand the difference between an opinion writer and a reporter is a real fucking problem.

i think the only way for atproto to succeed is for us to show what apps can do when every app sees every other app's public data, and they share an identity system. no technical or sociological argument is as convincing as seeing seamless interop and the lighthearted competitive landscape it unlocks

A lot of people just want an excuse to express hatred and bigotry. There is never an excuse, never a reason. Doesn’t matter who you are directing it at or why. Bigotry is wrong. And I see a lot of people agree with this and then turn around and stick a ‘but’ on the end of a sentence.

Imagine having someone in government who’s prepared to confront the lies and simplistic nonsense the fossil lobby spew out every day.

Frame: this man is here illegally Negation: actually his paperwork is in order Kirby: this is a racist attack by fascists bc a Black man is leading a school district, and the better he's doing the more they hate him

3. ⁠this is not the moment for an incredibly expensive increase in state surveillance infrastructure to be run for profit by private tech firms just before Labour ushers in an (even more) authoritarian right wing government. FIX THE GODDAMN COST OF LIVING INSTEAD YOU FREAKS.

i challenge you to find cooler news today than “despite all odds against American scientific research rn, a CO researcher developed a temperature-stable, single dose rabies vaccine that works bc of particles coated in CANDY & SAPPHIRE, & it could help reduce rabies deaths in places w/o electricity”

Also yes because while the link between HPV and cervical cancer is clear, and the vaccine has a 100- yes, 100 percent- prevention rate for cervical cancer, it’s also becoming known that HPV is also linked to throat, anal, and penile cancers! GET JABBED

You simply cannot make me spend my time on this stuff. Oh the president said Tylenol causes autism? Well it doesn't. No I'm not going to pore through research papers to prove it to you. That's not what my time is for. My time is for playing videogames and gazing lovingly at my wife.

Car drivers are so uncoupled from the responsibility of life and death that not only is the solution laid on cyclists and pedestrians but the word ‘Car’ never appears in the article’s summation.

If the answer isn't "hold drivers accountable" this article is just more victim blaming

Aka maybe take a minute to think about how the consequences of your impatience /lack of concentration might irrevocably change the life of an innocent person who's just trying to get somewhere and then act accordingly 👇

You forgot drivers’ responsibility to be aware of their environment while piloting a massive steel weapon: - look all around before making a turn - slow down - put your phone down - stop at crosswalks - etc

But first let's get back to our previous conversation about how the barrels used in whisky and beer production and storage leak harmful chemicals into the bloodstream and end up in men's sperm so the babies they produce end up with idk an overbite or some other ludicrous 18th century quack nonsense

YES, NO. When did journalists lose the ability to retain and clearly state established fact? When did we decide everything, even scientific consensus, must be culture warred for clicks, even if that war puts women in harm’s way? www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Found a mysterious portal but it wasn't the rapture, just the interplay of photons, shading and woodland paths.

Just so folks know: This article quotes the Society for Evidence-Based Gender Medicine, which is a formally-designated anti-trans hate group, as an authority here. The Economist should be ashamed of its reporting here. No wonder the authors refused to comment. www.splcenter.org/resources/ex...

Someone somewhere has access to the unredacted unexpurgated Epstein Files, and they could basically save the world if they leaked them right now. Because as it is, we’re destroying western democracy to avoid confronting the distinct possibility that the President of the US is a child rapist.

The Disinformation Governance Board was a policy coordination body that would have had nothing to do with the any American’s speech, so I would have done nothing. As an American citizen, I am v disturbed that a comedian has been suspended because the FCC pressured his network. You should be too.

I spoke with the wonderful @jessdavis.bsky.social about why fatalism makes me so intensely mad, and how most of it comes from the fossil fuel industry, or its lobbyists, defenders and acolytes the whole piece on collapse is a great read -->>>> www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

UK coverage of the right-wing riot still hasn’t included any testimony from the ~100 people that were physically assaulted by the fash for hours in Trafalgar Square. Instead, it’s empty comments from SUTR/SWP speakers, who were hundreds of metres away from the goons.

Trump and his allies are not defending UK workers or lowering costs. They are defending fossil fuel profits, which have reached record highs over the past 5 years. The UK’s future lies in renewable, homegrown energy, not in chasing the last drops of oil. #TrumpVisit #NorthSea

Donald Trump is coming to the UK next week, & his team is ramping up his “drill, baby, drill” nonsense. His energy chief called the UK’s net zero transition “heartbreaking.” To Trump’s team: spare your sympathies. The real heartbreak is backing oil profits over reality 🧵

This is good; "Minister of Hypocrisy Wes Streeting" "So there we have it. One Irish person is charged with ‘terrorism’ in a UK court for speaking out against violence, while another Irish person is being held up as a victim of unfree speech for speaking out in favour of violence."

"Blood libel against the South" from [checks] ah, Monroeville, Alabama native Harper Lee, who responded to a similar charge in 1966:

As national medical, scientific, public health and patient organizations, we call for the resignation of HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to ensure the health of the American people. Our statement: https://bit.ly/45LeJHi

"[Matt Yglesias] can write whole essays claiming that fracking is good and we need fossil fuel friendly energy policies, dismissing progressives as childish, while never engaging with the scientific literature on the consequences of climate change"

Democrat @raskin.house.gov excoriates Nigel Farage for banning journalists from Reform UK events: "I'm asking you a direct question. Why do you ban journalists who oppose your views from coming to your events? Why did you tell local government not to do interviews with your local newspaper?"

it's really fucking weird to care about "low birth rates" at all unless you're really, ultimately, worried about race

Apparently this is "all my fault" and I should have known that this would be the consequences of my actions when I started medical transition 2 decades ago. Perhaps you can now appreciate why we are upset? (13/13)
