Why does Bluesky permit the US government to threaten the murder of unarmed civilians?
Bluesky's moderation team:
✅ transphobia
✅ anti-Black racism
✅ war crimes
❌ Johnny Cash lyrics
❌ anti-child trafficiking

if your moderation team bans someone for a harmless unactionable exclamation of disgust, but permits a govt account to say stuff like this,
you need a new moderation team.

Like Idk if people outside of OSU understand how many things at OSU are called “Wexner ____” including the literal Wexner Center
If Ohio State is not going to answer for the Jim Jordan - Richard Strauss issue, they are probably not going to answer for the Leslie Wexner - Epstein - ( Gordon Gee ) connection, huh? Epstein helped to design the “Limitless.”

Anyone who’s ever used emergency contraception or gains peace of mind by even having it on hand owes Dr Camp a debt of gratitude. What a force.
(Also, I just learned one reason the FDA rejected it at first was that they said the name Plan B was too glib!)
Great obit—no paywall.

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.
