Evidence You Might Be In A Cult You follow one charismatic Leader. In your Leader’s mind, your Leader can do no wrong. In your mind, your Leader can do no wrong. Your Leader demonizes dissidents & outsiders. Loyalty's the ultimate measure of your devotion. You don't know you're in a Cult

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

I still check in on the bad place & post there occasionally. I’m used to people shitting on docs, but these MAHA appts have brought out the worst of humanity. I honestly don’t think it’s safe for physicians over there. These are people who find your address and report you to the medical board

Bluesky is going to have a big problem if it doesn't do something about verification. Offering the same stupid system that Mastodon uses is not a solution. It needs to be easy for accounts to use AND easy for followers to see. It is becoming a daily frustration. @jay.bsky.team @safety.bsky.app

Added a few more. Up to 27 in this pack, still an astonishingly small number of ophthalmologists here. Please let me know if there are more out there #ophthosky
