The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

Shit like this is why the humanities matter. These assholes need to seriously spend some more time thinking about the world beyond their toxic tech bro circlejerk.
Every one of these guys thinks they’re Oppenheimer mixed with Andrew Carnegie and they own something called SplortDotCom that got bought by Boozoo
2025 will go down as the year when all the subtext became text

Now THIS is actually fucking harassment, @support.bsky.team @moderation.bsky.app
cw: rape, extreme racism and violence
Mute/Block if needed

For a month, there have been harassment attacks using "Rape Lists." It's almost impossible to get these Lists & accounts removed.
I and others have reported this list dozens of times to Bluesky.
Out of desperation I'm posting publicly.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.
They run them bc people react to them the most.
If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.
It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

don't order books (or anything) from Amazon today! Instead, order from a small press, Bookshop, a local bookstore, or request a book from your local library. Yes, Amazon is "easy," but it's continuing to kill local businesses and concentrate wealth.

I was listening to an interview with Ayana Elizabeth Johnson a few days ago who said we need more stories in Hollywood depicting a solutions oriented future beyond dystopia.
My first thought: Star Trek’s been there this entire time. Gene Roddenberry+ have given us a lot on which to build.

Remember how Meta suspended the Threads account tracking Mark Zuckerberg's private jet? www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...
The Bluesky account saw the jet landed in Palm Beach yesterday, and Zuck had a private Mar-a-Lago meeting with Trump today: www.nytimes.com/live/2024/11...

A few weeks ago vs. today.
Dark money in politics is directly related to what our lawmakers do to hold corporations and the ultra-wealthy accountable.
When big oil can’t contribute absurd amounts of money to a someone’s opponent, they just might go after big oil.

going to airports reminds me how much capitalism sucks. Rows of open seats towards the front where you have to pay more, while the very back is crammed with people who couldn't afford to pay extra. so pointless.
