When he denied a group of people their right to exist I went mental and then I wept for our lost democracy.

Alternative facts. Alternative science. Alternative reality. Alternative alternatives. Fuck it, man. Nothing is real anymore.

Yeah.... yeah. We live in the worst timeline. On the bright side, dystopian fiction writers will have a good source of inspiration these next four years!

I’m watching from Australia with absolute horror. A few signatures and so much damage is done. What a horrid day for you all.

I don't know, he's said he's king of IVF, I'll hold him to that. That means he's giving everyone a basic checkup to see if you're good for IVF or not. So, everyone is entitled to a physical exam. Free healthcare.

If those doctors said that you need medicine in order... Free medicine.

I'm pretty sure that is the beginning or the premise of a lot of dystopian stories.

What can we do? It feels like the deck is already stacked.

Hey, Forrest, speaking of science, I was looking for your Sex and Sensibility video the other day to share with a science denier and I can't seem to find it. Is it gone, or am I just blind? I can find lots of reactions to it but not the video itself.

I pulled it because I'm releasing an updated version this month. Stay tuned!

nytsong.bsky.social•34 days ago

I can't wait! Thank you.

Yay! I have used the previous version to try to enlighten a few adults frozen in middle school science.

Given what's happened today, it cannot come out fast enough.

You know things have gotten bad when you start looking at dystopias like Brave New World and begin wishing we could course correct to that as a preferred alternative. It's like house shopping for which hellscape you want.

What’s next when the Christian nationalists start getting their say on policy.

The stupidest, most corrupt man in America should ideally be a different person than the US President, but here we are.

mofop.bsky.social•34 days ago

Don't forget the 77.3 millions Americans that voted for him. They deserve as much of the blame as he does. We knew exactly what we were getting. No one is surprised this time.

In 2019, One of my beta readers said the country wide riots and use of army reservists in my zombie novel were the unrealistic part.

asherahbauquier.bsky.social•34 days ago

These days the writing is just so poor. Has the plot always been this terrible for our species or does good content only exist in fiction?

Welcome to the dystopia.

He's gonna get a flat earther to run NASA to "establish the facts."
