drugs have taken too many beloved celebrities from us over the years but drugs also have a rare chance right now to radically rehabilitate their image

I will always value my US friends and colleagues. But I will never, ever trust the USA as a nation again. We should never talk about a "special relationship" again and it shouldn't be something we even want

This cartoon by @mluckovich.bsky.social is getting banned on Twitter. Because of course it is.

Even if the Trump regime were to collapse today, the political environment that allowed it will remain. We will not be able to trust the US for a generation or more. And you can't consider someone a friend if you do not have trust

As if this year wasn't shit enough, just found out that Diesel vom Burgimwald, the canine actor who played Rex in Hudson & Rex, has died. Rest easy, pal. www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/be...

The key lesson of the moment. If you're an American citizen, the American government is not your friend. If you're a non-American nation, the American government is not your ally

Exactly this. Laws are only effective if they're upheld and enforced. People need to realise that the norms of process and legality will not stop this because the system has collapsed. The problem will only get worse for as long as people don't realise this.

"Gulf of America" is just a loyalty test. It's a way of checking who is going to abrogate reality for no reason other than a cowardly refusal to stand up to the bully or an opportunistic willingness to toady up to one. Anyone who will call it that will help you round people up or look the other way.

Honestly, I've non-ironically reached the stage where every time I see something about WW3, a planet-ending asteroid, or whatever this is, I just think "bring it on."

Even. Biodiversity. Is. Being. Flagged. Idiocracy was wrong. It wasn't a gradual slide. It was a deliberate choice.

Must be a real kick in the teeth for Al Qaeda to realise, more than 23 years late, that the only thing needed to bring down America is America.

Still blows my mind that people are talking in terms of "another 4 years" of this shit. You really think it will be just 4 years? You really think that the old system will survive this assault. It won't. It will last as long as it takes to scrape him off your shoe. I think 4 years is optimistic.

Shame on @hhmi.bsky.social . Hope your trousers don't get scuffed as you bend the knee to fascism.

Remember the lesson of Italy in 1945. Fascists look great hanging from a metal girder.

It's time we updated "the banality of evil" to the "venality of evil". #Trump #Musk

Not sure which grave I'm looking forward to pissing on more. Trump's or Musk's

Incredibly strong, and excellent, editorial from the British Medical Journal: www.bmj.com/content/388/... "Medically relevant terminology and inclusive language ... do not follow political orders." "These ... will not yield to ... gag orders, suppression, and authoritarian whims."

Somehow I had missed all of the stuff about #substack. Thanks to this platform, I am now aware of the fact that they monetise NAZI content and have ACTIVELY refused to remove it. So yeah. Won't be reading any substack posts again. Thanks, Bluesky users, for raising awareness of this.

Remember when people were like "I'm not going to vote to keep Trump out because the Dems have been crap about Palestine" (which they ABSOLUTELY were)? Then other people were like "You do realise that Trump will be even worse for Palestinians"? And now Trump is looking to ethnically cleanse Gaza...

Heard disturbing, albeit unconfirmed, rumour from a contact. Apparently The White House have requested a list of all agents involved in Jan 6 investigations. Agents were called into a meeting and made aware that it's likely they will lose their jobs if they had any involvement with investigation.

Remember when the internet was largely Hampster Dance, rathergood and Weebl's stuff? Easy to look back with rose-tinted glasses, but the internet was actually good then and not just a toxic waste dump that has actively corrupted the real world.

As a longtime @asm.org dues-paying member & American Academy of Microbiology fellow… WTF? Do not undo years of society efforts to improve inclusivity and properly highlight the contributions of diverse microbiologists on an EO whim. Do not contribute to the erasure of scientists and individuals!

My letter to ASM leaders that I sent is too long to be posted here, so I'm going to post highlights in case anyone else needs information for their letter. 🧵

Absolutely disgusting and cowardly move from @asm.org. The world and the scientific community won't forget wilful collaborators.
