I haven't had the capacity to keep up with moderation lists for a bit, but this one is really obvious, so I'm stealing some energy from Future Me: a list for the extremely obvious wave of inauthentic accounts following today's newly-created US gov accounts

Need a few seconds to stop doomscrolling? Enjoy our office yard squirrels, melanistic Eastern Gray Squirrels. This one is enjoying some acorns.

Take a few deep breaths, unclench your jaw, and enjoy some squirrel just living his best life.

He's good and so are you 🖤

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

Hey lovelies: here's part 2 of my @crikey.com.au series on Meta's massive new effort to wildly worsen their climate damage but mask that by lobbying to change the way emissions are measured.

IT IS EXTREMELY SNEAKY
Inside Meta's fight to change climate reality... all so it can frantically expand a risky AI program
Everyone is ignoring the science on what Meta’s generative AI investment really costs, even though there's no evidence of a single, significant societal benefit.

I do a comic about ornithological vocabulary for every issue of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's wonderful Living Bird magazine. Here's the latest one, featuring the American Bittern.

I would like to remind everyone that the #Nazi order to euthanize those with mental health issues (and other #disabilities ♿️) was called Aktion T4. This involuntary euthanasia killed 300K people by conservative estimate. Kilmeade is promoting Nazi killing protocol. Literally, he is saying we should.

Oh. My. Goodness. Look at this moth! LOOK AT THOSE WINGS!! Honestly didn't know that moth wings could be that frilly and lacy - like bird feathers - but apparently there is a whole family of "many plumed moths". This one is from the genus Alucita and found in China, and is just spectacular. (1/3)

Ladapo said what? Comparing vaccines to slavery is just BEYOND insulting. A comment like that doesn't just miss the mark, it is diabolically ignorant & a slap in the face. Slavery is a REAL historical trauma, not a metaphor for vaccinations. @debunk-the-funk.bsky.social and Vincent discuss
