4 days of seismic records from a seismic station in Jamaica shows Hurricane Melissa roaring towards the island.
Hurricanes increase the amplitude of ocean waves which beat on the coast and sea floor. These produce Rayleigh waves that can be seen as increasingly thick “wiggles” in seismic records 🧪

If you want action on Climate Change understand it is the Billionaires who own Fossil Fuel who make $4tn a year, $126,839 a second, who also own the Media and all the other Big Business who stand in your way.

I think this covers the intersecting core issues. But I think the basic issue here is relatively simple: bad leadership responds to criticism erratically and viscerally, rather than listening, evaluating, discussing… Bad content moderation is fixable, but not if the leadership sucks.
tl;dr: Bluesky began with genuine promise: a new social media platform where users could feel safer, but inconsistent moderation quickly eroded trust.
When systemically marginalized users pushed back, Bluesky’s leadership minimized concerns and began to target them for bans.

It’s useful to think of Christian Nationalism as a subculture like any other, with one important difference. THIS subculture thinks of itself as the default “normal” culture of “real Americans,” but which is also under siege by “the dominant culture.”
That's part of why I wrote this. It's important to understand that MAGA is not "real" America.
On the contrary, the reason they're all so fucking bitter is they know most people aren't like them. And they resent that.
