Social Media features exceedingly few tools for users to both sufficiently tag, recommend tags, and organize posts by topic.
This is because the fucking platform of choice is the wrongest choice, everything is in the same slop-chute with little deviation and platforms like Bluesky could fix that.

I really need folks to call their reos and yell about the high priority bills. Things are moving along and legislators are getting a surprising amount of SUPPORT for these policies
Please do not assume this cannot happen. Please call, get your friends and family to call. Please.

Me except to your parents when inevitably we have to have a discussion about niche health conditions with them and they respond with a "well if you weren't so lazy-".
Like one of my pals had a seizure recently and their parent was all "have you tried to stop shaking?", I'd hose them in acid too.

This is such a cool study. A parasitic ant queen tricks worker ants into murdering their own queen, so the parasite can take over the colony.
This parasitic ant tricks workers into committing matricide
Newly mated parasitic queen ants invade colonies and spray their victims with a chemical irritant that provokes the workers to kill their mother.

I just had talked with my husband about this being possible largely due to Valve's general endorsement of gambling. For those who don't know, the abrupt adoption of Lootboxes started with Team Fortress 2's Crates system. From there, Valve's wealth continued to escalate, not just because of games.

So far, we're looking at 42 million (12%) of the population going without food. The general tendency is that the poverty level is ~15% of the population, plus or minus depending on how you slice it.
At about 170 million people suffering from extreme loss of QoL, it's 50% of the US population.

Y'know, it is a sign of something dire when the Government sets up social media accounts on a new platform and the entire community rallies around blocking the Government.
