This is terrifying on so many levels.

So it actually was gang violence.

Sad to see this from Hotez, I really respect his work.

Y'all don't understand, that's their emotional support banning of Gretchen Felker-Martin.

Itโ€™s an absolute shame that DC fired Gretchen Felker- Martin for exercising free speech and then @bsky.app suspended her account. Every writer here should be decrying this because we have to stand up for each other! This is ridiculous.

@bluesky moderation is suspending people for posting Kirk's own words which tells you everything you need to know.

I have no idea what white people are talking about right now. The warnings that the fascists will "use this" to do more violence. WHAT WON'T THEY USE? You've watched them deploy the US military on US soil using bullshit pretexts. What even are you talking about?

I'll have Bed-Stuy additions forthwith; I need to gather names.

Came to the comments to say exactly this. And expressing pain or flinching (which you canโ€™t control!) is seen as an inconvenience.

Wishing everyone great success in the Hobonichi Wars. I managed to score some Tomie items, but it was a whole coordinated effort among multiple people.

But maybe treat yourself, just a bit!

Climate.us

If you were a user or admirer of NOAAโ€™s amazing climate.gov website - which has had all the good stuff (e.g., actual data and climate monitoring indices) removed by government - some web and data gurus/guerrillas are about to launch a recreation at climate.us.
Follow @climate.us for launch updates.

And if you want proof of this, go look at the comments on the original post. Disgusting.

Louisiana didnโ€™t kill this project, Louisiana politicians did (specifically Landry).

On the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, what we wonโ€™t be doing is using language that implicitly puts Louisiana residents at fault.

Always a good day when I run across a Mekka thread! Even if the topic scares the stuffing out of me. Iโ€™m still glad to see it being discussed.

So I guess killing seniors during Covid was just Cuomo on the long con to save pizza money?

Just so everyone knows and for future searches, it can last up to 24 HOURS!!!

๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ I canโ€™t even argue with this interpretation, I love it so much! Itโ€™s not what I meant, but thatโ€™s a small aside to such an earnest assessment of the movie Ghost. Maybe I should have said a โ€œWish I had Written Moreโ€ ghost?

One of my biggest fears is the thought of being a Wish I Had Written Ghost.
