Today a friend asked what's up with COVID vaccines.
In short, there's a new version coming this fall that targets the now-prevalent XBB.1.5 strain. My guess is that this will be made available to all US adults. I will be getting it if so.

One of the Twitter Files clowns asked me in an interview what the biggest problem with social media is. My answer was very simple: unaccountable private power.
He chose not to print the interview.
It is not a public square. That metaphor deceives the public into thinking it controls the space.

… and were communicating in real-time with their constituents. Today’s events underscore just how dangerous it is for society to come to rely on private platforms as critical infrastructure.

ALSO for the new folks: do you like threads? Do you want to see people's replies? By default, you don't see people's replies here until they have a couple of likes. To change that, follow these steps.

Right wing masculinity influencers were deeply invested in the idea that Russia’s supposedly invincible army would triumph because it was more “manly” and then they were fought to a stalemate by a jewish comedian and have now collapsed into infighting with the mercenary army of a nazi hot dog vendor

Going to be the opposite of Twitter and view every thought on Bluesky in the best possible light. If someone says “I like pancakes”, I will think “this person potentially also likes waffles, which are also delicious”

Remember how Elon pretended to be about radical transparency + freedom of information + “hey I have to suppress dissidents in Turkey because it’s the law”—right up until the Federal Rules of Civil Pro required him to disclose the true owners of Twitter? Now he’s desperately fighting to hide it. 🤡

Do liberals understand that by enforcing the rule of law in the face of overt, confessed-to federal crimes, they are destroying norms we don’t care about and unleashing a retaliatory abuse of the system that we were planning to do if we felt like it anyway?
