“Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic,” they said. “That means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice and a third, a fourth. Then what happens?”

Find Justin Webb on Today on Radio 4 completely unlistenable when it comes to the US: glib, ill-informed and opinionated is the worst possible combination in this moment

I actually can't even imagine the horrors that will follow. The fascists in charge of the US are going to set off not just one pandemic, but several.

It took decades to get non offensive LGBTQ+ classifications, but apparently the need to knuckle under to fascists really speeds up changes to subject headings. #Library #Libraries

When people ask how is Israel inciting antisemitism around the world, this is how. The glorious Star of David, a symbol of one of the great Abrahamic faiths, being used by a rogue state as cover for its torture and abuse of Palestinian prisoners, detainees, and hostages.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

My partner in crime has written a deeply personal book on her unbeileveable experience. I (perhaps biased) feel that it is a profoundly important insight into medicine and disability which, at it's core, serves as a beautifully effusive paean to all things inclusive: bsky.app/profile/grac...

We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines. The project is funded by private money, the Philippine government, and matching USAID funds. It could provide a blueprint for eliminating TB worldwide--except it's...not happening.

I wonder, Flask, whether the world is anchored anywhere; if she is, she swings with an uncommon long cable, though.

David Lynch gave us the language we needed to better articulate the indescribable strangeness of our shared reality. “Lynchian” is so overused because it’s a viscerally understandable word without any known synonyms. I can’t imagine a more beautiful artistic legacy than that.

Completed in 1903, Monet's windowless silhouette of the Houses of Parliament with its atmospheric array of jewel-like violets and lilacs, cobalt and inky blues, and deep pink tones, appears mystical, as the building dissolves into the expansive, still waters of the River Thames.

A program in Brazil that gives a monthly cash sum to families living in poverty has an unexpected — and welcome result. A new study shows that it is dramatically reducing tuberculosis rates.

In the words of Tony Benn, asking about Elon Musk: “What power have you got? Where did you get it from? In whose interests do you exercise it? To whom are you accountable? And how can we get rid of you?”

Part of the reason I have been so passionate about getting my colleagues to come to Bluesky and setting infrastructure up for us here is that it's continually becoming clear how urgently we need avenues for reporting and discourse that are not controlled by billionaires and corporations.

Important context here: ● over half of farms are less than 49 acres (20 hectares) ● "a big farm" is 217 acres. Now let's see who's angry: ● Clarkson farm is 1,000 acres ● Lloyd Webber farms 4,000 acres ● Viscount Rothermere (Mail owner) 4,700 acres ● Dyson owns 36,000 acres

Some of my favourite scientific images are made in error- here I wanted a visual outline for my segmented macrophages and apparently ran into what I think is a bit-depth error, so it cycles over 256 grayscale values then repeats #science #art #sciart
