Are we a racist society? The majority of us say no – but science begs to differ
Although greater awareness of prejudice would suggest we are less bigoted than ever, empirical evidence indicates not

We need better warning messages pre-post on social media.
"you have interacted with this user 2 times, should you be talking to them like this?"

I love cooking on a gas hob but think future generations will look back on our use of explosive gas piped to our homes for burning, emitting fumes and needing CO monitors in the way we look on previous generations use of asbestos, lead water pipes, radium watches, radium wonder cures, lead paint etc
I have been trying to use my gas stove less ever since I read this report by @lisalsong.bsky.social about how they leak methane and the related health risks: www.propublica.org/article/what...
What to Know About the Risks of Gas Stoves and Appliances
After learning her gas stove was leaking methane, one reporter consulted public health experts to learn about the scope of the problem and what people can do to reduce these risks at home.

I’ve spent some time looking at the iOS 18 photos app changes, and the two big differences are modes and the default thumbnail size. When you start the app you are in collections mode. In this mode, you can see a few thumbs but pinch to zoom doesn’t change the thumbnail size. 1/3🧵
I don’t like the new photos gallery. Tiny thumbnails and more inconvenient. 👎🏽
