I’ve done this more than a few times actually. #booksky

They've established a higher standard for proving discrimination than proving murder. Not only do you have to prove discrimination, but you must prove that no other motive, plausible or not, could have existed in conjunction with discriminatory intent.

Not that I'll be doing much there until the desktop browser client goes live, but I like the privacy focus, absence of algorithm, etc. Also it's part of the ATmosphere, so you can keep up your Bluesky connections from there if you wish.

Hard to think of a person who caused more harm in the last 30 years than Andrew Wakefield.

There was a rule when I was in Trump's first term: if a memo had a staple in it, it was too long for him to read. Life-or-death decisions were cut to one page. Or a half-page. Or less. Bold fonts. BIG pictures. When you’re wondering why everything’s a mess, remember that.

I’m tired of people calling Black voters moderate. No, they are *risk averse*, and they’ve got 407 years of reasons for that. My guess is they, like lots of other Americans, now see the risks of inaction and of the status quo.

As I said so many times:

Now think about what this means if all federal grant making is under political control as per new OMB rule. Crony capitalism at its worst: do you want these people fixing your bridges, making sure your water supply is safe? @donmoyn.bsky.social

“If Democrats win, Congress will do its job again” is a wild message from the current Speaker of the House

Between the high cost of healthcare, decreasing access to healthcare, and the rise of young men who model themselves after manosphere influencers, I’m surprised at how many young women want to stay. Seriously.

"And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him. But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God." Leviticus 19:33-34

In a world of performative cruelty, kindness is punk af. Be punk af.

Social mobility has been declining for decades but that's fine, we don't need the talents of 340 million people as long as we have the several dozen children of our stupidest oligarchs

Another glimpse at your future, Albertans. Offshore oil giants pocket the profits, you (and the rest of Canada's taxpayers) get stuck with the cleaning up. (Yes, the province manages a fund to do this. No, the oil companies aren't paying nearly enough into it.)

No lies detected. Bless his little hillbilly heart.

Expert advice to help residents and elected officials handle the spread of data centers. Reporters interviewed more than 50 experts from the data center industry, local and state elected officials, national policy experts, researchers and residents with data center experience to compile a toolkit.

I think we just passed oops.

"And we in the Republican Party are committed to helping President Trump finish destroying them."

This is beyond low. My then-wife and I had something similar happen when our kids were young, and it still raises my blood pressure to think about it.

"Trump's 13-Year-Old Accuser"

The great thing is that you can remain a generic center-left Democrat & still tap into voters’ demand for change. See: Ossoff, Pritzker, etc. You just have to show that you are ready, able, & willing to fight. That’s the central intra-Democratic Party cleavage.

🧵🧵🧵 Take this quiz: Which of these quotes are Republicans talking about Somali immigrants and which are Nazis talking about Jews? 1/ They’re “garbage. These are people who do nothing but complain.” 2/ “Public pests … vermin … leeches.” 3/ “They’re all crooks.” 4/ They’re “criminal-minded people.”

Had to! "So we sailed on to the sun 'Til we found a sea of green" 🎵🎼🎶

Every now and then it's nice to pick your head up from your book, have a good look at the world around you, take a hard pass and immediately go right back to reading. Balance is important ❤️

Here I am on the corner supporting the woman rally in Tehachapi 6=24-26. I am on the corner of the famers market every Thursday and I attend all the rallies I can. I just don't have the resources to travel far. However making a statement here in a small red town is at least something.

It is instructive that Republican evidence never clears yelling hoax over and over

Hey if ICE is using medicaid information to arrest immigrants it means 2 things; 1. The immigrants aren't undocumented. 2. They actively and knowingly arrest people that are here legally.

Today at Rideau Hall in Ottawa, a joyful moment talking with the Governor General of Canada, the Honourable Louise Arbour, who presented me with my medal along with other distinguished Canadians.

Folks who share this politician's views are primarily at risk of being called fools. This is largely due to the fact that such people are foolish. Racism blinds one to data and observable facts and leads to poor reasoning and bad decisions. In this case... /short🧵

Some in Dem establishment giving very strong vibe that they are committed to that big band sound and are sure that rock and roll will never catch on.

as a committed centrist, it saddens me that both parties are falling captive to their extremes - the right to insurrectionist cultists who want to invade american cities, and the left to socialists who want better bus service

Look I went to the Democratic caucus in Pueblo, Colorado this year--a party faithful event that is so arcane that people don't even know it happens and exists. These ARE the people who knock doors. These are the volunteers. Anyway, so many of them were upset with the Democratic Party.

Both these headlines are from Texas this month. Texas sentenced anti-ICE protestors to 100 years in prison, but a serial pedophile to only 30 days. This is MAGA exemplified.

Despite tonight’s setbacks, Schumer and Jeffries will continue their principled stance against Democratic candidates that Democratic voters actually like.

i’m a jewish NY-10 resident and i’m damn proud of the message we sent.

Scientific American is 180 years old. The most eminent science magazine for the general public. And today, sold off as scrap to stop the staff from unionizing. Many top editors I've worked with for a decade on several articles have been fired. What a disgrace @sciam.bsky.social

Man…how is Maia so good at poasting

Hot take: every streaming service should have a "show me stuff you've never showed me before" button.

Yeah, "acting role" can be interpreted in a couple of different ways, can't it?

Apropos this, one of the things I've been thinking about in dog training is how much of dog training is really working on myself.

please read this statement written by Benjamin "Champagne" Song and share as far and wide as you can: https://prairielanddefendants.com/defendant-writings/statement-by-benjamin-champagne-song/

When reality surpasses fiction! Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming. Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026.

I fuckin hate AIPAC too but some of you people are flying dangerously close to the antisemite sun with the “shadowy cabal that secretly puppets the US govt” shit

Antifa: Because even MAGA won't buy it, if you just say "the bogeyman."

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know the Rule ends science—political appointees, not scientists, decide on grants, which can be terminated any time with no cause; grants must advance Trump’s political agenda; international work is curtailed But there’s waaaaaay more horror in the Rule 👇

Since I did do my PhD in cyanobacteria growth and treatment optimization modeling AND work in the water treatment industry, I’m gonna share my theory as to what’s happening here and how to fix it. People are focusing on the painted bottom of the pool increasing residual heat, and while that 1/19

"In our top story tonight, area residents have begun their annual observance of Toyotathon. Our special coverage begins with this report from Len Watkins down at Quad Cities Toyota. Len, how excited is everyone for these savings?!?!"
