Migration is too often used as a political weapon from those on the far right to demonise some of the most vulnerable in society, with terms like asylum seeker, refugee and migrant deliberately conflated. Here's what you need to know.

every job is at best tolerable until you drop dead or retire, except congressperson, which from the way they cling to power must feel like riding down a water slide 24/7

Back when using a watch to communicate was only science fiction, I never dreamt how dorky I'd look trying to type in an SMS on a tiny smartwatch screen. And, yes, I can use voice to text, but I still have to edit it (which looks worse than swipe typing to begin with).

The Democrats definitely didn't lose the 2024 presidential election because they were too lefty, but that is/will be the narrative for far too many.

This is the sort of crap that makes me laugh when I remember so many people see the Beeb as an impartial source for news. Don't get me wrong. There's worse sources. But this should be called out every single time.

Large parts of adult social care in England face collapse, thinktank says. The budget blamed but there are other factors. Massive real cut in local govt funding since 2010. Privatisation: 30%-40% of money vanishes in profits. Money buys less. End Privatisation www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

what’s stunning to me is the reaction from rightwingers experiencing actual moderation on bsky. they don’t seem to realize how aggressively extreme their own rhetoric has gotten. these are like, facebook grampas posting memes that a decade ago you’d only find in the nazi edgelord parts of 4chan.

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up. If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds

Mitch McConnell suffered from polio as a child as he contracted it before the vaccine was invented. He has said he was lucky to survive. We live in a world where McConnell might vote to let RFK Jr a man who doesn’t believe in the polio vaccine into office. How does that make sense?

I am not feeling motivated to study at all today. But then I remember I am learning about how mate selection affects evolution. I am still not motivated, but at least I can watch videos of male birds doing elaborate dances for the ladies while I am studying. So, there's that.

It is shocking and revealing that so many commentators (particularly liberals and centrists) are employing Trump and far-right arguments and narratives about white grievance, the left & 'wokeness', etc. to explain the Democrat loss instead of actually opposing him and such politics.

Let's talk about Ernest Everett Just, a cell biologist who unraveled the mysteries of fertilization in spite of the obstacles he faced as an African-American. Just's story weaves together good, rigorous science with racism & tragedy. He was born in 1883 in seaside Charleston, South Carolina.

ok one more "how we do it on bluesky" re: "block, don't engage." it's not that anybody wants to tell you what to do -- it's that we collectively realized that this is what works. it works really great! zero, zero response needed. just block! don't argue at all with dickheads! try it! you'll see.

So many times over the past almost 2 weeks how fortunate, how privileged I am, as a disabled US citizen to be living in a different country right now (although this administration will probably still affect me negatively). Forced farm labour for mentally ill and/or neurodiverse people is chilling.
