Seeing as Emil Bove personally fired me from DOJ in retaliation for prosecuting January 6 rioters, I don’t think he should be confirmed to a lifetime seat as a federal judge. But that’s just me.
And ... this (Emil Bove nominated to a court of appeals) appears to be happening?

Covid is not a respiratory condition but a systemic inflammatory condition with respiratory features. Good evidence of subclinical damage to liver, kidneys, heart, vasculature in recovered patients, and evidence of changes in types of acute MI/heart attack seen. Could be big problems down the line.

Hi! Covid does not last five days! This is another incredible mishmash of bad information the government has made as murky as possible! I keep having friends and family be shocked they’re still positive and very symptomatic 7-10 days in. You’ve got it til you don’t, isolate and mask til then!

a state throwing a major presidential candidate off the ballot because of their interpretation of the 14th Amendment is kind of a constitutional crisis, but it is already a legitimacy crisis when a major party renominates a candidate who tried a coup. might as well make it explicit.

Hearing from Art Friends this year that their holiday art sales are pretty low -- maybe in part the economy, but I'm also guessing it's how AI has fucked some shit up. As such, if you can spend money on real art by humans this holiday, please do.

I'm losing my mind so let me just say this here? I believe Hamas perpetrated unspeakable sexual violence on Oct 7 and I believe that they have not treated hostages well, and I also believe that 15,000 Palestinians shouldn't be dead as a result?

WE MUST TELL EVERY TRUTH.
Trigger warning. This is about the extensive sexual assaults that happened by Hamas on Oct 7th. There are many horrific graphic details.
This matters.
As do Palestinian lives.
Lots of things are true at once.

For a lot of us, losing Twitter isn’t really about losing ties to the company itself. It’s losing 10+ years of real, asynchronous communities, professional development, the ability to get gigs and clients, the ability to promo/share your art on an extremely broad scale. The loss of that has impact.

FINALLY! Just in time for the winter COVID surge, the CDC now has a useful wastewater dashboard.
It indicates that nationally COVID wastewater levels are HIGH and rising further.
You can access the dashboard here: cdc.gov/nwss/rv/COVI...

We have no Planet B. As an individual without resources, the most simple thing you can do about climate change is to talk about it. Create awareness, it will cost you $0.00 and that will go a long way to reach thousands.

If you've fallen out of practice of wearing a mask, this would be a good week to start again! COVID rates are rising because of a new variant, and because many people will have gotten sick over Thanksgiving. Your best protection is wearing a high quality mask.

Agreed!
It's Thanksgiving in the US, and you know what? This year, among other things, I am thankful for Bluesky and the people here. You've made social media fun again after years of it being a slog, and you made it easier to finally walk away from Elon's Folly. Thanks, folks. I appreciate you a whole lot.
