A great deal of trouble we face now is that those in power assume everyone working for the public good has to be part of a grift because they literally cannot conceive of a public good. They are broken, deranged people, almost to a one. I'm struggling with the response to this.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

Pro-Palestinian rhetoric does NOT constitute material support for a terrorist organization. Criticism of the State of Israel does NOT constitute antisemitism.

just bought a giant box of blox n95s because they’re 25¢ each so that my students, who don’t have access otherwise, can have decent masks. it is not okay that ppe is inaccessible to people who want it, especially in a world with a fucking plague that is being ignored by everyone else.

Senator, welcome to Bluesky. Can you explain why you're sponsoring a bill to repeal Section 230, which would effectively make it impossible for Bluesky to do what it's doing today, creating this kind of space? Thanks. www.techdirt.com/2025/02/21/w...

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers have developed a nasal COVID-19 vaccine that BLOCKS transmission of the virus. This suggests vaccines delivered directly to the nose or mouth could play a CRITICAL role in containing the spread of respiratory infections. Phase I clinical trials HAVE BEEN APPROVED! 🧪🧵⬇️

Egg prices are through the roof due to unmitigated H5N1 Tuberculosis outbreaks in Kansas and North Carolina. COVID still killing & disabling people every week. Public health agencies barred from communicating with the public. Wear a respirator. For yourself and your community

It’s time to start wrapping our heads around the real possibility that collective action and even a general strike are required. Musk is working fast to solidify control, do as much damage as possible, and party “opposition” is not up to the fight. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/collective...

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

Tragically, the overwhelming response from the Democratic Party will be "Yay! Now I have statistics to support my hatred of the peace freaks" rather than any iota of reflection.

If there is anything I know, it is that in 2029, if* a Democrat is sworn in as President and Dems control both houses of Congress, the first order of business will be to ensure that absolutely no one is held accountable for the shitshow that is about to happen. *I know, BIG if #ItsABigClub

IN CASE OF FIRE: 1) If someone is on fire, punch them in the face. 2) Cop a feel off the person behind you, as these might be your last minutes on Earth. 3) Squeeze the junk of the person in front of you. It'll slow them down, allowing you to move ahead of them. 4) Exit.

Agree entirely with @dfisman.bsky.social Current technologies allow sampling indoor air on a continuous real-time basis to allow measurement of viral loads in air duct systems of complex buildings. Quite similar to wastewater testing that can also be applied to complex buildings.

(Long thread) Dealing with NC election data is frustrating. (I've done it as a vocation and avocation for 50+ years). Allegations that 250,000 voters did not put their NCDL number or SSN on a voter registration form submitted since 1/1/2004 raise a lot of data reliability issues /1 #ncpol

Dear city staff tasked with improving your downtown environment for struggling small businesses. PR campaigns, “Love [insert city here]” are pointless window-dressing. 1) Get (qualified) officers on the street. -Stop aggressive panhandling. -Fix safety issues, real or perceived.

The fact that Rahm Emanuel still has a prominent voice in the Democratic Party in 2024 is indicative of Democrats' problems. I don't know how to explain to you that a person who actively covered up a police shooting and tried to tank an attempt at universal healthcare [only 2 examples] is terrible.
