I mean this in all seriousness, but what are you talking about @hankgreen.bsky.social? What is this “discourse” that now controls the internet? What I see are algorithms channeling people’s worst instincts and bots hyping division. The internet is now dominated by profiteering and enshitification.

Disney has left the field with an own goal. They have performed the most insane self inflicted brand damage that is only rivaled by Tesla and Musk. Damage the brand and now Disney/ABC/ESPN are tainted as just another MAGA Trump brand, corporations, law firms, universities who have appeased Trump.

So long, USA. Please don’t visit unless you’re vaccinated. Or at all, if you’re a MAGAt, antivax or any other kind of Dark Ages revivalist.
In a meeting that devolved into confusion and near chaos, federal advisers on Thursday voted 8 to 3 against vaccinating children under four years old with a combination shot that protects against measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox.

Did you know that London has the lowest level of ethnic violence of any city of comparable size in the world?
Multiculturalism has in fact worked here. They just don’t want it to be true because we happen to have a Muslim mayor.
