I really hope that Bluesky will become THE place to be, but at its current stage I'm inclined to use X, still. There are simply too many limitations I dislike (60 sec videos, can't post multiple images/videos on one post, threading is terrible...).

@cathywilcox.bsky.social brilliantly depicts the real effect of dutton's nuclear policy. under the coalition's plan millions fewer homes will install solar and existing household solar systems will be frequently switched off to ensure his nuclear plants hit their production targets.

This CV is meant to show his expertise & therefore justify their decision to publish. It is bias dressed up as qualification and transparency. Whereas merely being Palestian justifies the same publishers disqualifying someone from publication on the grounds of bias. Heads I win; tails you lose.

There are two fatal cases of H5N1 in cats in California. Both cats had been fed raw milk from the recalled lot in the ongoing outbreak associated with Raw Farms. The milk wasn’t tested. But an astute veterinarian tested the cats for flu based on clinical suspicion. #VetMedsky #IDsky #OneHealth

You've probaly seen various headlines this year about bird flu and the potential for a new pandemic. So I've written a new substack as a simple explainer on what a flu pandemic actually is, why bird flu and what's been going on over the last 3 years. open.substack.com/pub/christin...

In 1890, the X and Y chromosomes were discovered. It was found that the men who were tested had 46 chromosomes, including an X and a Y, while women who were tested also had 46 chromosomes, including 2 X chromosomes. So obviously the conclusion was that the Y chromosome defined masculinity.

The willingness of Aust media & politicians to use unfiltered & prejudicial comments by a corrupt Israeli PM to attack Australia's PM is truly disgusting. It's one thing having a political disagreement: quite another to undermine national sovereignty. What happened to "we decide" Australian policy?

For the love of God, COVID isn’t over – so can people please wear masks? Why people don’t mask: "The biggest reason, I believe, is a failure of public health communication over wearing a mask. The government declared Covid “over,” and most people still trust what they’re told." archive.md/PzUTV

The only reason I waited so long to leave Twitter. Please follow Auschwitz Memorial. They only had 1.5 million followers on Twitter and were constantly losing followers. Their history is important to share. Let’s get them to 2 million on Bluesky

Very glad to see Eric Topol on Blue Sky @erictopol.bsky.social For me on Twitter, Eric has been the best source of information about new medically relevant scientific studies and related topics. Definitely worth a follow.

Toxicologist here for any fluoride concerns! The amount of fluoride added to water to prevent tooth decay is so minuscule that—no matter your age, size, or health status—you would die from water poisoning long before you could ever even start getting toxicity from fluoride. Fluoridated water is safe

Ok, but aside from affecting lungs, heart, blood vessels, brain, gut, liver, kidneys, pancreas, immune cells, eyes, gonads, placenta, and mitochondria, and infecting people year-round and repeatedly, SARS-CoV-2 is just a textbook seasonal virus like colds or flu.
