@acollierastro.bsky.social is one of the few "Science Communicators" worth your time. Her videos on youtube are both cheeky and knowledgable - always great. She shows the true inner workings of science - both good and bad - and how corporate and corrupt forces try to use it to their own ends.

This Harry Litman piece on the legal ins and outs of the ABC News defamation settlement is worth your time. harrylitman.substack.com/p/et-tu-abc?...

There are STILL some quality reporting properties. However, very few have learned the right lessons from our new political dynamics. I salute the Bulwark.

Don’t say I never did anything for you guys. On this week’s focus group pod, @jvl.bsky.social is the spirit animal for everyone who wants to argue with 2020 Biden voters who broke for Trump in 2024.

Before you complain listen to the arguments presented here. I was open to the potential of preemptive pardons but can easily see how it a “road to Hell is paved with good intentions” idea.
