Since I have no intention of giving an American Red State my ID data to use fucking DM's here because of a puritanical and short-sighted British law change, if any of you want to keep in touch, I am on Signal as Cat Vincent (catvincent444.23).

NB I have a higher standard of conduct there.

I am, once again, asking the UK if we're going to keep waving American tourists in if we don't know if any of them are even vaccinated anymore. By the rise in measles here, I suspect the answer is "£££TOURISM£££" but we're already suffering labour shortages here due to everyone getting sick.

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

And the fact that the only credible solution to the political, financial and trade chaos that is post-Johnson UK politics, is politically 'not an option' is why it is now impossible to keep pretending that politics as enacted by Westminster has anything to do what is best for the voters.

Chris Grey @chrisgrey.bsky.social · 16h

And, to spell it out, the only credible answer to that would mean turning British politics upside down again with another Referendum, which isn't, politically, an option. So there's an impasse.

The year withers. Dead paths across the ghost soil are revealed. Colder magics rise. Our boots are muddied, we begin to breath like dragons. Our witcheries turn with the season and our ancestors talk a little louder. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

“The country’s grid operator says shifting from coal to clean power is not only possible but inevitable.“

“This is not a climate-zealot kind of approach. Our old coal-fired power stations are… getting replaced by the least-cost energy, which is renewable energy.”

As coal fades, Australia looks to realize dream of 100% renewable…

The World Fantasy Convention will be meeting in Brighton at the end of the month and I hope they’ll be considering Trump’s health report released after his six-monthly annual examination yesterday.

in that case have my thoughts on the new Tron Movie before I forget them, insofar as it's a thing worth thinking about

a screen capture of text that reads "anyway. Jared Leto looks like he tries to pick up women in hospital parking lots and I truly hope he never changes that because it's such helpful visual language to see a man build his entire look around ratchet dracula"

Woke up to trending Peter Thiel, who'd be a Hanna-Barbera Bond villain if he weren't so dangerously deluded, and Kid Rock, a John Wayne stool that's so dense it immediate sinks to the bottom of the bowl and cracks the enamel.

This is pure theatrics, and they know it. The new drug was approved because it's chemically identical to a previously-approved drug.

What these clowns are doing is equivalent to, "General Mills should not be able to sell its raisin bran even though Post & Kellog's already sell the same thing!"

Senator Patty Murray @murray.senate.gov · 15h

Republicans are pushing debunked anti-abortion propaganda as an excuse to rip mifepristone off the shelves and block women from getting abortion care.

100+ studies prove mifepristone is safe and effective.

SPEAK UP, we can't let them get away with this.

Nearly All GOP Senators Urge the FDA to Restrict Abortion Pills

The senators are asking the FDA to suspend its approval of generic mifepristone, which would heavily restrict access to abortion pills nationwide.

@jennbudd.bsky.social Nobody in journalism should take you seriously after posting that LLM video. I certainly don't.
