Trump/Musk and the entire GOP has spent the last four months systematically liquidating disease cure research in the United States. Lots of critical cure studies shuttered mid-way through. Research shutdown everywhere. It's all hands on deck to prevent new treatments for cancer, ahlzeimers etc.

I talk about engaging rural folks because I know there is opportunity in rural spaces. If Democrats will just spend time and resources there…if we build the infrastructure in the off years, we can win. We don’t have to flip rural districts— just get 5% more rural folks to vote for Dems. Then we win.

Not for nothing, @lollardfish.bsky.social encouraged me & countless others to tout our books. He’s hustling for our collective success.

Because we gonna need a lot of community based teaching and self teaching materials

Love it!

I went to check it out and saw they had me blocked.🫤

The other exploding area of dark money in politics is the crypto lobby.

They have dumped insane sums in elections in both parties (Dem primaries + GOP general elections).

It’s pretty bad

If your culture-making-company uses algorithms to predict which tv shows & films to commission; which books & music to publish - then you are ushering in stagnation.

Algorithms cannot make creative choices, they simply look for patterns of what is already successful & recommend you copy it.

MAGA Feels Censored Because They Can't Be Dickheads On Bluesky Cry more, please.

It is unfortunate that MAGA doesn't have the intelligence to see the difference between censorship and rules. It makes them sad when the facts don't care about their feelings. crooksandliars.com/2024/11/maga...

I’m trying to strike a healthy balance between being informed and being oblivious.

I think it speaks volumes that right wingers criticize bluesky for being “liberal” and “left wing”, when it’s really just that hate speech isn’t allowed.

You're not "late to the party" when you enjoy an old book for the first time. Books don't have an RSVP deadline. The party started long ago, and guests show up when they're meant to.

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

A government run by billionaires will never be for the people.

Also: If you don't have money to buy my (or anyone's) books, and you live in the anglosphere, before you pirate them, try to get them from your local library instead. They have it or can get it, they pay for the books, and in many places writers get paid for their books being lent. Everyone wins!

Let’s talk a bit about what you, an average German newspaper reader in 1933, would have learned about Hitler’s rise to power. Let’s assume you read the “Vossische Zeitung”, a comparatively liberal middle-class newspaper. In modern times, the Berlin State Library library let’s you read it online: 1/
