My thoughts are: Don’t feed the trolls, or this will become troll central. Block early, block well.
a duck and a brown bear are standing next to each other .
Alt: A gif showing in cartoon form, someone blocking another. A yellow duck steps on a spoon, like a trebuchet and ejects the small brown bear. The bear says bye, the tagline is now we block them.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.

This Friday, where will you be?

X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m.

Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app?

If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

I would love to see a bunch of musical artists and celebrities put on a nationally televised tribute concert for Pres. Jimmy Carter on inauguration day with all proceeds going to Habitat for Humanity.

I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December.
A magical thing
And sweet to remember.

"We are nearer to Spring
Than we were in September,”
I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December.

Seriously how fucking stupid do you have to be to think that this post is endorsing murder rather than observing that the NYPD is boss-tier incompetent when it comes to staging?
Not defending this guy at all but damn same energy.

True
I think a lot about this quote from Anaïs Nin’s diary from 1939-1944:

“America is in even greater danger because of its cult of toughness, its hatred of sensitivity, and someday it may have to pay a price for this, because atrophy of feeling creates criminals”.

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends:

1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration;

2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you;

3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

Here are a few of the UK doctors & medical experts I really trust on here - am sure I've missed many, but it's a start, & I'll keep adding to it. Feels like we've never had a greater need of trusted medical voices right now. Hope it's helpful.

Lots of new people added to the Public Health Data Trackers starter pack this week. Currently at 38/150 so plenty of room for more.

Many people are still ramping up their metrics capabilities so I expect the list to grow as more and more are settled in here.

Good morning #ScienceSky Based on technical reading of vibes, I think that we've got a sizable group of Climate Change Twitter over here to #GreenSky
Let's work on getting the rest of the sciences off of x. In the meantime, enjoy some aerosol science. 🧪 #wildfires source.washu.edu/2024/09/wash...

An experimental conservation project that was abandoned and almost forgotten about, has ended up producing an amazing ecological win nearly two decades after it was dreamt up.
