Anyone else looking for other BSky hosts besides the official server? Some of the mod decisions are kinda questionable lately

After spending years falsely claiming that vaccines cause autism, RFK is now peddling a new lie—blaming mothers taking Tylenol during pregnancy as the cause for autism. This is dangerous and irresponsible misinformation not based on science or facts.

Trump admin draws unproven link between autism and Tylenol ingredient use during pregnancy

I understand Miller doesn’t like being called Goebbels, but maybe - and I’m just spitballing here - he should stop plagiarizing Goebbels speeches

One reason I do not think Trump is going to create a 1,000 year reich is because he failed to cancel a middling funnyman and immediately pivoted to trying to outlaw not having a headache.

I'm not religious, but "it's time to start flipping tables" is a hell of an opening line from @jamestalarico.bsky.social 's Senate campaign.

Billionaires have taken over Texas and taken over America — but together, we can take power back for working people.

A professor at Texas A&M taught… something related to gender that offended a student, who secretly filmed herself objecting. That video is picked up by TX legislators, who demand her firing, and now the dean and dept head have been fired.

A&M Dean removed following student complaints over curriculum

The Department of Justice has also acknowledged the situation and said it would be investigating.

He's truly the worst little patient. He figured out how to open the cage last night and dragged himself out by his front legs but only got like 2 feet before giving up. Now we have to really make sure the latches are secure and had to add extra security so he can't get out.

My cat, Pumpkin, managed to break his pelvis yesterday. There seems to be no damage to his internal organs, and his vet thinks he'll make a full recovery without surgery, but he'll have to stay on crate rest for a month or two and he *HATES* it.

I find it exhausting that political discussions are like a children's birthday party that has got out of hand: everyone is shouting at once, wants to be right, no one listens, something gets broken and someone throws up because no one told them not to mix all the sweets and fizzy drinks together.

Digital tokens. They’re gonna put genocide on the blockchain. Crypto grifter-style ethnic cleansing.

Leah McElrath @leahmcelrath.bsky.social · Aug 31

⚠️ One plan for Gaza circulating in the WH calls for displacing the Palestinian population through either $5k relocation payments or exchanges of land for digital tokens and then turning the territory into “a gleaming tourism resort and high-tech manufacturing and technology hub.”

🎁🔗
wapo.st/4g2eATo

The 38-page prospectus seen by The Washington Post envisions at least a temporary relocation of all of Gaza's more than 2 million population, either through what it calls "voluntary" departures to another country or into restricted, secured zones inside the enclave during reconstruction.

Those who own land would be offered a digital token by the trust in exchange for rights to redevelop their property, to be used to finance a new life elsewhere or eventually redeemed for an apartment in one of six to eight new "AI-powered, smart cities" to be built in Gaza. Each Palestinian who chooses to leave would be given a $5,000 cash payment and subsidies to cover four years of rent elsewhere, as well as a year of food.

Reminder that the famous pictures of the Nazi book burning that you’re used to seeing, show them burning books about trans and queer, people at the Hirschfeld Institute. (after which Ireland’s first LGBTQI+ community centre was named, until it burned down in 1987)

i wrote my original thesis pitch on how we're approaching another transgender holocaust comparing trends in nazi germany to trends currently going on in the west. but i was told i was being "alarmist" and "insensitive to holocaust survivors". anyway we're at burning the Hirschfeld Institute

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.
