the people responsible for spreading lies about covid vaccines have blood on their hands tonight.

An exciting negative result!

Stay safe, everyone.

Any time I hear a comedian complaining about how society’s too “woke” now to handle their “jokes” I always think of the XKCD comic on free speech/1st amendment. Maron pretty much mirrored the sentiment:

X’s Altmetric Hegemony Ceding to Bluesky The alternative social media platform is matching engagement of Elon Musk’s X in ways that “would have seemed unthinkable until recently,” says study.

Inside Higher Education calls it: X is dead for academia, and BlueSky is where it’s at.

Exactly: THe stories on what didn't get done bc Noem required her personal signature (in additional to call centers, the rescue teams) aren't stating clearly that one reason Noem is doing this is bc she's $1B over budget bc she has blown it all on kidnapping grannies.

We need more of this and not only in the halls of congress. Every day when I talk to people outside of academia and medical research, I am disheartened by how few people are aware of the ongoing savage cuts to science and research funding. If you don't know what you are losing you cannot care.

Poll: Most feel democracy is threatened and political violence is a major problem 76% of Americans think that democracy is under a serious threat, according to the latest NPR/PBS News/Marist poll. And their faith in political leadership in the White House and Congress is low.

I'm with the majority on this, and maybe the bluesky "bubble" is actually reflective of the public at large: www.npr.org/2025/07/01/n...

The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens.

Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important".

Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary.

This comparsion in the NYTimes today is pretty stark. China is racing ahead to be a high-tech exporter of 21st century technologies, while the US is doubling down on being a petro-state exporting the technologies of the 19th century: www.nytimes.com/inte...

The corrected figure still shows a massive increase in voters under 40 years old for the 2025 primary compared to 2021.

The thing is that the corrected data does still show a massive bump in young voting. (up ~100% among 18-24 by the looks of it)

But now that message is going to be diluted by confusion about whether that was erroneous reporting.
