We have 3 favourite authors that we wish everyone had read when it was early enough to stop all this, Heather Marsh (Binding Chaos), Chrystia Freeland (The Plutocrats), and Hannah Arendt (On Revolution). Read them now.

Neither. The US is being dismantled and sold for parts. We’ve been telling you this was coming for years and even now that it is clearly happening, media pretend it is stupidity or carelessness. #OrangeMonday #BlackMonday #TrumpTariffs #3E

Not sure who needs to hear this, but you don’t need cow’s milk to survive. Think about it—why would anyone need the milk of another species to live? It’s not science, it’s marketing.

They really are.

We are declaring drug trafficking cartels as terrorist organizations but Trump pardons the guy who ran the biggest online illegal drug market ever (silk road)? As an explicit political favor?

Like this sweet #pig, all animals deserve love and respect. Choose compassion / #vegan over cruelty.

Non-vegan: Stop forcing your opinions on others.

Vegan: Stop forcing animals into exploitation and death.

Beatifuly brave and said

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.

Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

my email to megan mcardle: I was going to write you a note about your column but I think the AI summary of the comments says it best: “The comments overwhelmingly criticize the notion that context could change the perception of Elon Musk's gesture, which many interpret as a Nazi salute. Commenters argue that Musk's history of supporting far-right ideologies and parties, such as the AfD in Germany, reinforces the interpretation of the gesture as deliberate and not accidental. They express frustration with attempts to rationalize or excuse the gesture, emphasizing that it aligns with Musk's past actions and statements. The comments reflect a strong consensus that the gesture was intentional and should not be dismissed or downplayed.” And just to add, if you’re afraid there’s a photo of you out there that makes it look like you’re doing a Nazi salute, that’s a personal problem and not a universal one.

i don’t normally do this but a spirit compelled me

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

Pam Hemphill, a J6er who has since expressed serious regret for what she did, says she will not accept a pardon from President Trump.

“I committed a crime.”

Exactly why @bsky.app is so important. Engaging on this platform is important. As is growing this platform.

Which one of these men joins Tom Anderson and MySoace in the annals of history first ?

Their greed is our opportunity.

With a universal data commons we can: collaborate effectively and intelligently and solve the problems we are facing with far greater speed and accuracy. all be much better informed and be able to easily see the original sources of our information. easily see all related information on a subject from all perspectives. replace transient and context-free news with continually growing and evolving knowledge repositories. allow epistemic communities to work in peace within circles that match their own expertise and still maintain full transparency and participation by anyone interested. bypass NGOs and funding platforms and provide aid to each other directly, and receive feedback directly, through our trust networks. establish our own direct trade between communities. use our own trust network to filter and fact check information for us instead of relying on third parties. offer products and services to others and be easily found without centralized platforms. rely on recommendations for products and services through our own trust networks.

"If we have a data commons, we can have the participatory governance, research and global collaboration so many of us dreamed of, free of corporate ownership or interference." - Heather Marsh

Hmmmm I’m going to give this a think. I’ll reach out. I think it would be fascinating. I would have loved to see my grandparents weddings.

The inconvenient truth for nonVegans being, the animals sent to slaughterhouses (as mere adolescents) are just as precious & worthy of moral consideration as this poor wolf was 😔 #Veganuary

Healthcare is a basic human right, and it’s long past time we start acting like it.

We cannot let Republicans restrict the Affordable Care Act in any way.
