So many people feel overwhelmed while scrolling and there’s a reason for that. Bots are a large part of the problem. We’ve been breaking down how to spot them. After tracking bot groups that push narratives and attacks, we found some common traits:

The best thing we can do is stop talking about it.

Just dont care.

Move back to the issues at hand. Rising costs paired with job loss. Climate change. Pedophile in the White House. Military taking over cities. People being kidnapped from courts and work. Increased school shooting.

Really sad news this morning: @justinbasiltcg.bsky.social, one of the core leaders in the Pokémon community, passed away last night.

I only met Jason a couple of times, but he was a cornerstone of the TCG community.

He'll be dearly missed, and I can't imagine who could fill his shoes.

Finished For Us, the Living. While I know characters didn't have alot of depth, I did enjoy the lectures. I'm hanging on to this for a little while just to see how accurately Heinlein predicted society after Neo-Puritanism took over the nation. #booksky

This is absolutely insane shit to write down and publish. The left scared her. This might beat allll the other NYT headlines. Truly spectacular.

The GOP banned abortion, the GOP said they would prosecute doctors providing abortions, the 6 Republican appointed SCOTUS judges overturned Roe.
Exclusive: Rep. Kat Cammack says doctors last year hesitated to treat her ectopic pregnancy. She says the left scared medical professionals by stressing that they could face criminal charges.

Finished Yellowface last night.
I appreciated the views the author wrote regarding cultural appropriation and history. But I just hated June so much.
There were alot of moments where I felt bad for her, but I could not stand the character. She's a terrible friend for one (1/2)

I've finally got a little time to recreationally read and starting off with Yellowface.
I loved Babel, and Yellowface seemed like it'd be an interesting story and perspective.
As a character, I hate June so much so far. But I do love what Kuang is doing with the story and different issues in it.

Merrie Monarch finds pt 2.
1. Kapaemahu is the legend of 4 māhu who came here with great healing abilities. 4 stones were placed at Waikīkī in their memory
2. The epic of Hiʻiakaikapoliopele is a more detailed story of Hiʻiaka and her journey to bring Lohiʻau to Pele.

Merrie Monarch finds Pt.1! Picked up some books for our house.
1. Place Names of Hawaiʻi is more than just a list of locations, it also gives a brief history of the location and its original name when applicable.

AFAIK there's no connection between Huxley and carrots, I just wanted to read and clear space in the fridge
Carrot juice and spices with a topping of cream and just enough lemon juice and salt to imitate the flavor of cream cheese frosting.

The interests of the president should NOT be the purpose of any government employee, that is monarchy shit. Look up why the American Revolution started
This is a country not a business, we are not employees of the government, elected government officials are chosen by and should work for the people!
Assuming this post today is aimed at us. The Trump admin changed the rules to make it easier to replace career federal employees with political loyalists. If you’re not alarmed by Trump’s post, you should be. This isn’t about policy it’s about control. It’s “do as I say, or you’re replaced.”
