Surrealism has its roots in dreams and is built on anti-rational foundations, on dream theories, on the impulsive, the automatic. It rejects imposed reality. Fascist regimes generally don't like imaginative art, or things that encourage you to push boundaries. Do with that information as you will.

Behind Kennedy’s Vow to ‘Follow the Science’ on Vaccines Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited a disputed study from a close network of fellow vaccine skeptics during his confirmation hearings. His critics say it is part of a pattern that raises concerns about whose ...

NEW: RFK Jr. said a new study linked vaccines to autism in his confirmation hearing. We found that the study's author had a hard time getting it published.

Then he got help from Andrew Wakefield, who is famous for the first debunked study linking the the two.

Former kind-of competitive player here.

Yeah, this card totally tracks. Would build a deck around it.

Normal U.S. Attorneys do not write like this. This is servile and buffoonish, light-years outside how federal prosecutors normally act. Ed Martin has gone Full Renfield. He’s a confessed lackey with vast federal prosecutorial power.

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

Exclusive: Musk aides lock government workers out of computer systems at US agency, sources say Aides to Elon Musk charged with running the U.S. government human resources agency have locked career civil servants out of computer systems that contain the personal data of millions of federal employees, according to two agency officials.

Media and digital literacy are key to disrupting disinformation.

--clapping back/arguing just helps to amplify bad faith accounts & false material

--don't share "funny" disinfo to dunk on it; some will still believe it

--BLOCK, REPORT, and tell others to do same *without* sharing disinfo content

The puzzle for Democrats is how to separate "good" from "bad" billionaires. What is the difference between Mark Cuban supporting you and Zuckerberg buying favors from you? It's not a slam dunk, needs explaining. ‪honosrer.bsky.social‬ ‪@honosrer.bsky.social‬ · 2h I disagree. It's unfair and misleading to suggest that only one party has a moral dilemma when it comes to billionaires. Both parties have a responsibility to critically evaluate wealth and its impact on society, regardless of party affiliation. ‪John Scalzi‬ ‪@scalzi.com‬ · 9h Also, it was a fuckin Nazi salute come the fuck on ‪honosrer.bsky.social‬ ‪@honosrer.bsky.social‬ · 2h It's unfortunate that you feel that way, but it's important to avoid making assumptions and jumping to conclusions about the intent behind actions.

Bluesky has been flooded with automated reply bots - they'll offer a sort of confrontational opinion as a reply. They're pretty convincing and we all need to train ourselves to not reflexively reply to all responses until we check

Neo-Nazis Celebrate After Elon Musk Appeared To Give Nazi Salute At Trump Inauguration Parade Well, they would know 🤔

They know what they saw, just like we all know what we saw. 🙄

Antisemitism was rising online. Then Elon Musk’s X supercharged it. Antisemitism has long festered on the internet, but the Israel-Gaza war and the loosening of content moderation on X have propelled it to unprecedented levels.

We don't know what Elon Musk meant with that hand gesture but we do know he's reinstated Hitler apologists on X, praised an extreme far-right German political party and endorsed the claim that Jews push "hatred against whites" www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Analysis | Fact-checking President Trump’s 2025 inaugural address Trump relies on many claims debunked during the election campaign

Fact Checker by Glenn Kessler: President Trump’s 2025 inauguration speech had a laundry list of proposals and plans — and a hefty dose of false claims that we’ve fact-checked before.

Here’s a quick rundown of what was inaccurate or misleading in Trump’s address.

I have an ominous feeling that the people currently saying “it’s not a Nazi salute” will soon be saying “it’s just a symbol from Hinduism.”

Biden commutes sentence for Leonard Peltier, convicted in FBI killings The Native American activist says he did not receive a fair trial in the slayings of FBI agents Ronald Williams and Jack Coler at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.

In one of his final acts as president, Joe Biden on Monday commuted the life sentence of Native American activist Leonard Peltier, whose case had become a rallying cry for the Indigenous movement in the nearly 50 years since his conviction for killing two FBI agents.

Stay strong. For us, this is more than just a job-it’s a calling. Together, we will stand to protect our parks, environment, and wildlife. Four years… we remain hopeful that the attack on our public lands will be less brutal this time.

I'm looking for the intersection of Humanist philosophy from the Italian Renaissance with the Masters' approach to the practice of arms.

Appropriate.

From PaxUnplugged this year.

Good enough reason as any.

Mine's coming off like the rantings of a madman. My notes look like a Lovecraftian mythos tome. I might as well have pushpins and yarn over a timeline of humanist philosophy in the Renaissance next to pages from Agrippa. This is my hobby?

Hey folks so we're not doing "if you personally have not made a loud public statement about Bad Thing You're Not Accountable For then it's obvious you don't think it's bad," right? Right. Glad we had this talk.
