Hello world! đź‘‹ Thought I'd give this a try at the recommendation of people worried I might be censored on Twitter. I'm an engineer with broad interests in tech, brains, conservation, climate, economics, education, and truth - how to find and preserve it in a world increasingly dominated by noise.

Biggest part of crooked Adams deal which is only barely being noted is that the charges aren't really dropped (not in the ordinary sense of the word). They're put on hold with the letter explicitly saying they'll be considered again after November. So Adams has ten months to perform for his freedom.

I TOLD YOU ALL that they would do this. They are claiming that arresting 300 criminals is something new. That's literally the average day under Biden. But I wouldn't be shocked if it's not true and they are including noncriminals who they really want to scare www.nationalreview.com/news/trumps-...

Elon Musk doing the Nazi salute at Trump’s inauguration rally. Did it twice, actually. Don’t waste time arguing with the people telling us that’s not what happened. They’re not mistaken, they are engaged in propaganda. Faced with authoritarianism in power, it is crucial we trust our own eyes.

From a FB post. Hey California friends…my friend’s dog sanctuary in Topanga has burned to the ground. 30 dogs looking for fosters ASAP. Please contact me if you can help, even help for a temporary basis it would do so much . Please call or text me on 248 520 0054

So many people sharing stories about denials from their health insurance company this week. Here’s ours. www.huffpost.com/entry/brain-... #healthcare #healthinsuranace #cigna #UHC #CEO #POTS #hEDS #CCI #BCBS #Chronicillness

Elon Musk and Pete Hesgeth are the kind of tough alpha males that America needs, according to their mommies

The moral case for the pardon is that it is appropriate and good for Biden to protect people from the abuse of government power that Trump and his cronies have promised. BUT, that applies to a lot more people than just Hunter.

Ok this is a soft launch, beta, work in progress etc but breakingnewsusa.com is gonna be an aggregator and directory of as many left news and information sources as possible. Going to put them all there - news sites, blogs, podcasts, YouTube, TikTok, whatever. Something missing, tell me.

It’s just frustrating that the right wing never has to do shit, even when they lose. Never have to reach out, to welcome, to understand, to moderate their positions. They get to be who they are & never apologize for it and people will blame progressives for not putting up with that shit

Saying hi to this new site by sharing my last ASR pub, w amazing colab @imarinescu.bsky.social! We show that privatized childcare services play a direct role creating family income inequality in the US, bc unaffordable childcare hurts lower income families most doi.org/10.1177/0003...

Sharing this blocklist again. I'm doing semiregular roundups to add to this list of transphobes, "here to see libs cry" types, and racists. Feel free to tag me to add people to block. Hit "subscribe" and then choose "block" to block all in 2 clicks! bsky.app/profile/did:...

I know everyone is talking about Matt Gaetz but please don't miss this: Georgia fired every single person on its maternal mortality review committee. Why? They didn't like that reporters found out that the state's ban killed two women www.propublica.org/article/geor...

In May 2022, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on a podcast claimed that a global elite led by the CIA had been planning for years to use a pandemic to end democracy and impose totalitarian control on the entire world. And he said he had proof. His proof was bunk. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

“For me, it’s been two years of really being very vulnerable about this, and recognizing that, at the end of the day, some people just didn’t care.” 19thnews.org/2024/11/abor...

A Trump supporting, anti-trans, anti-gay Republican was elected commissioner of the county where I grew up. He won despite being in jail on election night for a sexual assault in Vegas. It’s now come out that the woman he assaulted was his daughter. fox59.com/news/indycri...

Reminder: border walls don’t stop people from crossing the border, though they do waste billions and destroy ecosystems. Organ Pipe, where I filmed this video, was *entirely* walled off by Trump, yet it saw the most crossings anywhere along the border last year. More walls aren’t the answer.

Jarvis: His generals called him fascist. Joe Scarborough called him fascist, and now the fascist is in charge and it is journalism's job to cover it that way, not to back off and say okay, well that's it, we lost. Let the fascism happen. No

New to Bluesky? If you want to understand the far right, violent extremists, White Supremacists, and Christian nationalists, these are the journalists, researchers, academics, and other experts that monitor, research, and provide analysis on all the flavors of the far right and extremist movements.

Chilling. Internal email that led to identifying Pete Hegseth as potential "Insider Threat" in National Guard.⬇️ It was clearly due to his tattoo "associated with Supremacist groups." On air, Hegseth has FALSELY claimed the reason was for a different (religious) tattoo. apnews.com/article/trum...

What the fuck are we doing here? "More than half the people in [New York] City custody — some 3,000 men and women — have been diagnosed with a mental illness, and hundreds of them are awaiting evaluations or in line for beds at state forensic psychiatric hospitals." www.nytimes.com/2023/12/29/n...

Funny story: me leaving Twitter isn't a case of no longer making an effort to post there. I have a year of new comics already scheduled. I could let them run and continue to drive merch sales without ever logging in. But I don't want to be associated with the jerkhole who runs the place.

How is the OpenAI board gonna fire Sam Altman just because he gave answers that sounded plausible but weren't actually accurate?

His FRIENDS brag about his mobster tactics & how he sells access via his club. Could be POTUS again in 455 days. www.nytimes.com/2023/10/22/u...

Vital stuff from @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social, www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/young-mora..., especially this part

I wrote about the compulsion to speak about things we can't change, the confusion between posting and doing, the emptiness of meaning that pushes us to silence, and children facing death in Israel and Gaza: https://theswordandthesandwich.substack.com/p/speech-and-speechlessness
