If Trump follows through on Project 2025, food safety is going to get (even) worse here in the US. What can we do about it? Let's talk about the FDA, what happened under Trump's 1st term, and whether or not the answer is to become a farmer skepchick.org/2024/12/trum...
Trump is Going to Tank Food Safety. What Can We Do?

i think INTERSTELLAR is a bona fide masterpiece — maybe nolan's greatest film — and i'm not at all ashamed to say that i weep every time i watch it.
Interstellar’s Most Enduring Quality Is What People Used to Hate About It
Christopher Nolan’s sci-fi spectacle is fascinating precisely because of what so many pegged as its fatal flaw in 2014: its unabashed emotionality.

1. The conventional explanation for food deserts—that these places are too poor or too rural to generate enough spending on groceries, or too Black to overcome racist corporate redlining — fail to grapple with a key fact: food deserts didn’t used to exist. My new piece in The Atlantic.
The Mystery of Food Deserts
They didn’t materialize around the country for no reason. Something happened.

If you’re interested in blocking a ton of bots quickly just search for the phrase “I strongly disagree” and click on the user — if they just joined, have one “I’m happy to be here” post and a ton of “I strongly disagree” replies (along with similar “I’m concerned…” ones) congrats, you’ve found one!
So if you're trying to identify bots on here, you can see this kind of response. It takes an argumentative tone in every reply in order to start a "conversation" I guess. I'm not sure of the end game. Maybe, like @rahaeli.bsky.social writes about, just to build followers to then sell the account.
