Look, we don't like officially being more trustworthy than the CDC at this point. That's not really our bag, y'know?
But please, for the love of real science, continue to vaccinate your children.
Pay no heed to the wormbrain man.

Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.
I'm so tired of measles.
I'm also tired of people using needle shots on stories like this.
Show what measles looks like.

This was always coming, sooner or later, and now it’s come sooner.
Time for 🇨🇦Canada to batten down the hatches and prepare to endure the hardships of adjusting over a long timeline to the presence of a neofascist neighbour with whom we can no longer reliably do business.

Once more for the people in the back:
📢 train networks are nation-building!!
Instead of pipelines, carney should be focusing on high speed rail networks for people & goods

I know I’ve said this more than once, and I know it’s really obvious, but taking the train between cities in Europe is just fantastic. So easy.
One of the dumbest mistakes North America ever made, and continues to make, is doing so relatively little with trains. Train networks are nation-building.

It’s also really great because they have the most amazing technology anyone could ever ask for in the holodeck, they use it, but then they’ll also show up for their robot’s cat poetry night because they realize it’s important to be present with those you love and that technology isn’t a substitute

Just block the bad accounts. Do it right away. Don't share or dunk or comment or argue. That's what they all want. Just nuke them and move on.

I think we should establish an understanding in the United States that if you order the military to carry out a lethal strike against something that is not an imminent threat without congressional authorization, what you did was murder and the entire chain of command is guilty.

For the first time in history, 270 media outlets from over 70 countries joined together to make themselves heard. Front pages, websites, social media profiles, and broadcasts went dark to demand a stop to the killing of journalists and call for press freedom in Gaza.

Um….i feel like this might be a bigger deal than the media reporting would make it out to be.
More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site
As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

True faith isn’t about excusing hate, bigotry, or misogyny. Defending that behaviour just because someone shares your religion isn’t faith it’s hypocrisy. A bad person can hide behind any faith, and a kind person can live without one. Faith doesn’t excuse cruelty, & decency doesn’t depend on belief.

As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.

“We should go online to find joy” is such a great goal. There is so much fun here on Bluesky . Nature folks sharing our love for what we see outside, artists making fascinating stuff, writers being hilarious,scientists sharing surprising new info. Hurray for all you excellent online people. 😊
The reason bluesky is my priority network is because it's the only place I've had fun on the internet in about a decade.
Many people who tell you to not have fun on the internet never truly have.
It's always been work to them.
It shouldn't be.
