"They'll never cut Social Security" is the new "they'll never overturn Roe v Wade."

I have a lot of doubt, and a lot of anger. But for now I'll avoid negativity and just say: any end to war is obviously worthy of praise Godspeed Gaza

NEW: X has become a hotbed of neo-Nazi content under Elon Musk. We identified the operators of four anonymous accounts that share racist, antisemitic, and neo-Nazi content. Three live in Texas. Musk has replied to two of them. One works for the Navy. www.texasobserver.org/revealed-ope...

I have covered both Musk and Alex a lot, and only one of them is a useful idiot for Putin and also a heinous person. The other is a patriot who did his job with distinction and is a very good man. Guess which is which: thehill.com/policy/techn...

Alright! Let's get nerdy about the economic effects migrants have on their destination countries! And address some common misunderstandings with data from recent real world examples THREAD:

I don't know how people can look at data like this and think Harris and the Democrats need to move farther to the left to capture more voters. It looks like the opposite (!!) needs to happen blueprint2024.com/polling/why-...

JUST GOT OPENING DAY STARDEW VALLEY SYMPHONY OF SEASONS TICKETS

Very happy to see this from Pollan! www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Last year, when I was at MSNBC, I did a 10-minute deep-dive into RFK Jr's anti-vaxxer role in the measles outbreak that killed dozens and dozens of kids in Samoa. I hope every Senator voting in his confirmation process for HHS knows about this crucial and awful story:

Absolutely atrocious lighting, but how are we liking my hat so far? I’m starting on the decreases now. (Also, where are my fellow knitters at? Maybe #knittingsky?)

2023 was unexpectedly hot, and many climate scientists are working to understand why. In my latest article at NASA's Earth Observatory, I spoke to @climateofgavin.bsky.social and @hausfath.bsky.social about recent warmth and possible contributors. earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/15358...

That person who asked me about vaccine safety 4 days ago and I sent them 4 articles showing that vaccines were safe sent me a DM and asked to continue the conversation in private. I'm not a fan of that. Here is what that account said to me and what I replied.

Drink coffee. It’s good for your gut !

You think "Big Oil" is influencing international climate negotiations? Meet Big Meat, Big Diary, and Big Chemicals... www.desmog.com/2024/11/18/b...

our ancestors accomplished more, with less, against worse. stay locked in.

Planting my garlic today :) a little late to do so, but we’ve had such a warm fall so far

BlueSky is filling a void that 35+ up been looking for. Social media should be a cool distraction. Not stressful and annoying. Folks wanna laugh and have healthy banter and wit and sarcasm. A feeling of community. Not all these bots and ads and weird ass algorithms and engagement farming

Cicero was a very wise man

"Strong Democrats" have, in the past 10 years, swung away from the median voter on cultural issues New analysis by @jburnmurdoch.bsky.social www.ft.com/content/73a1...

Move over, blue whale. This 300+ year old 34m coral is now the largest animal* known. Hopefully its depth, as described, can keep it going 🦑🧪 *colony of animals

Good day to remind everyone Around the globe the measles vaccine has saved nearly 94 million lives over the past 50 years www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-...

Anonymous is a stigmerigic action, always has been and always will be. Anything you want it to do, you have to do, that's how it works. The days of passive victimhood are at an end. You either fight for yourself, your community, and your principles, or you don't.

Extreme rains that wash away crops. Early frosts that decimate blueberries. Warming oceans that wipe out fisheries. Climate change is wreaking havoc on Maine's food systems, and it's playing out on the ocean, at farms, and in the state's vaunted restaurant scene. www.bostonglobe.com/2024/11/13/s...

Is there a place we can find all starter packs? Or at least search starter packs?

The 2024 Global Carbon Budget was just released! Unfortunately despite hopes emissions might peak, both fossil CO2 and total CO2 emissions reached new record highs. I cover details w/ Pierre Friedlingstein (@PFriedling) at Carbon Brief: www.carbonbrief.org/...

I'll ALWAYS stan Libby

The best thing I've done for my mental health in years has been to start spending two hours a day working from my local library. Those places have healing energy.

The Trumpian right opposes women in public life more generally, but their attacks on our access to the public sphere will take multiple forms, including naming specific jobs they don’t want us to have.

fuck this guy on behalf of the women i personally know who served their country in combat roles

Anyone who thinks Kamala Harris ran a “right wing campaign” should look at the ads that Democrats who outperformed her ran…it’s not pretty 😬

i know it's cringe to post star wars as ~revolution~ or whatever, & that's not what this is, but I do think about this sequence from Andor a lot bc I know how paralyzing it is to feel overwhelmed. So, I'll continue working in the lanes where I feel the most needed/helpful.

This explains so much about who won this election and why

A translate feature would be super nice on this app, especially as the non-English speaking base grows

Speaking of restarting animal crossing islands…do we have news on when the next console/game are expected to come out?

If you want to understand the Trump 2 Presidency look at the wish list of 3 people and you'll get it: - Elon Musk - Stephen Miller - Putin That will give you an understanding of what's in store.

pretty stark reminder today of how allowing individuals to amass extraordinary wealth directly affects everyone else

I need accounts posting cute animal videos to follow

trump will be the next reagan in the sense that in 30 years every time you notice some horrible defect in society you'll do some quick research and trace it back to trump

If you know someone who hasn't made an account yet, reach out and invite them here. BlueSky will follow EU regulations, this is a life raft to evade X manipulation in the upcoming years. The bots will migrate soon enough too, so start building your networks.

I know everyone’s saying we need all the journalists to leave Twitter and come here, but what we really need is all the local government accounts and their small departments to get on here because that’s what I miss the most about Twitter. It was how I stayed connected with all sorts of happenings.

We need carbon removal in addition to deep emissions reductions to get to net-zero. But as we show in a new study the durability of removals is key to ensure net-zero actually stabilizes global temperatures and meets our climate goals: www.nature.com/artic...
