There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

Nobody will ever know my laptop experienced an unfortunate scratching incident from the charger prongs because I have cleverly fixed it forever with my precious @katieaki.bsky.social sticker. I add one sticker a year, normally in December, but this was an emergency so this year's sticker is early.

During the height of the pandemic, Tyson used Palantir to predict Covid-19 infections among meatpacking workers down to a nearly exactly figure. But rather than using this data to increase worker protections, Tyson used it plan for labor shortages + plant closures

Okay, this makes so much sense. It drives me nuts hearing similar but wrong words used by (almost always) younger people, and it's really been baffling. But if they are taught to read by saying "just guess the word that makes sense" then those words are basically identical in their brain. Yikes.
They don't use spellcheckers: they go straight to the nearest word they already know that *sounds* most similar. So their vocabulary remains small, and imprecise or inaccurate use of words is normalised.
And if your entire peer group has been trained to the same standards, who will correct you?

Rosalind Franklin died at 37 of ovarian cancer attributed to radiation exposure from the methods she & her assistant used to photograph a cross-section of the DNA double helix.

Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...
DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments
“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”

This thread is almost too horrifying to read.
A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.
