Agreed. As a member of the mainstream culture, I have strong negative emotions about how widespread & pervasive the bias is,. I try to be cognizant of my own biases and work to remove them, but yes, confirmation bias is very real. It leads humans to discount or not hear things outside our viewpoint.

Geri's still very much figuring out how to follow conversations here. Never did figure it out back in the Twitter days.

Hi. I seem to have joined Bluesky. How much I'm here and how I use it is very TBD. Followers welcome, friends old and new. Pointers welcome, too.
Onward!

And I'm now on Bluesky. For my next trick, I'll figure out how to post on my account, and also add a profile pic.
