Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again." She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.

Giacomo Puccini (born OTD 1858) and Arturo Toscanini had a stormy friendship. One Christmas, Puccini sent Toscanini a panettone, forgetting they had fallen out. Remembering, he sent a telegram “PANETTONE SENT BY MISTAKE. PUCCINI”. He received a telegram back “PANETTONE EATEN BY MISTAKE. TOSCANINI” 😂

I can hardly think of a better example of the moral decay in modern health care than a Goldman analyst noting that biotech cures for diseases like hepatitis are cool and all, until their success diminishes the business opportunity for pharmaceutical manufacturers. www.cnbc.com/2018/04/11/g...

Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone who is determined to turn up the volume and EXPOSE all of the brutal, deadly consequences of abortion bans in America. They're not "pro-life." They're pro controlling women's bodies.

1/ We're experiencing a huge influx of users, and with that, a predictable uptick in harmful content posted to the network. As a result, for some very high-severity policy areas like child safety, we recently made some short-term moderation choices to prioritize recall over precision.

Wish more people realised that for most art businesses, there's only one person doing all the work. Creating, shipping, admin, promotion, starting feuds with other artists, painting unflattering portraits of them into historical scenes, trying to poison them, it's all one person.

Did you know The Bell Jar, The Handmaid's Tale, The Feminine Mystique, and more all appeared on Sesame Street in the 90s?

What's the stupidest thing you ever got in trouble for? I have... a few, some of which I've detailed here before. But you might not have heard about the time the Daily Mail did a bullet-point scare job on me in 2016, because I tricked Selfridges staff into printing rude words on some Nutella jars.

Killer kitties: a reminder that cats play a major role in wiping out wildlife. How? By killing literally billions of native animals every year, driving numerous extinctions. 🌍 Cats are NOT 'part of nature'. If you must have one, keep it indoors. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

McDowell argues that the majority of Irish voters want the FFG (plus A N other) status quo. But do we/they really? The same housing, healthcare, education,climate change, migrant protection fails in a highly unequal society with an emboldened far right. Yeah, that’d be a no from this voter. #GE2024

Many of us are echoing @timothysnyder.bsky.social's lesson in On Tyranny, "Do not obey in advance.” A no less vital admonition that deserves attn: STAND OUT “...without that unease, there is no freedom. The moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow."

Please don't call what RFK Jr. and Jay Bhattacharya are going to do medieval. It's not medieval. It's nothing like the Middle Ages. People in the Middle Ages were happy to try all kinds of things to not die of the plague and if you'd given them antibiotics and vaccines they would have loved it.

People keep asking if the mass deportations are going to happen, isn't it illegal, how is using the military on U.S. soil constitutional, etc. Yes, they're going to happen. It doesn't matter if it's illegal or unconstitutional. All that matters is whether enough soldiers will follow his orders.
