1. I’m pretty sceptical about representative democracy: broadly speaking, I think it’s a contradiction in terms. But if we are to have such a thing, it should look like the assistant dying bill debate in Parliament yesterday. That debate showed us what we are missing all the rest of the time. 🧵

When Cleo met Antony… He was already married. Uh-oh!  His wife at the time was a ferocious woman named Fulvia, who actually started a war with Antony' rival, the future emperor Augustus 😮

Fulvia, an original bad-arse of history #CheekyFacts #AncientRome #AncientBluesky🏺

Republicans want to tell you what books you can read, what bathroom you can use, what words you can say, what history you can learn, what you can or can’t do with your own body and what gender you are… but tell me more about how the Dems are “coming for your freedoms”.

Idiots.

A *real* journalist would have done some investigating of actual posts/replies on both sites to discern and report who is doing the attacking of whom.

F^ck Newsweek.
You have to read this story about this poor “conservatives” are being abused by intolerant lefties like me here on Bluesky. Look at the things they are posting and getting “attacked” about. It’s amazing. www.newsweek.com/conservative...
Conservatives join Bluesky, face abuse and censorship
One conservative commentator claimed they were blocked from Bluesky for posting "there are only two genders."

I try to be an objective professional reporter guy but trans rights are a civil rights issue. Respecting and welcoming trans people is simply the moral thing to

Raw milk is STILL responsible for more hospitalizations than any other food-borne disease source.

Before standard/widespread pasteurization, (raw) milk was responsible for 1/4 of all infectious disease outbreaks in the US in the 1930s and caused 1/10 of tuberculosis deaths.
Oster writes that “With more information, we provide room for people to drink raw milk but also vaccinate their kids. Which is, basically, a reasonable choice.” Oster claims she is being far more nuanced, but I don’t think there’s enough nuance here. Raw milk is not “reasonable” for many people.

trump is the benevolent czar and if bad things happened under his watch he clearly can’t be responsible for them. it was his evil advisors!
Disturbing: A big reason Trump won was undecideds couldn't be persuaded that millions of jobs lost in 2020 and death of Roe were Trump's fault, internal Harris campaign polling showed. Biden/Ds let Trump rehabilitate himself to disastrous effect.
