Twenty five years ago, the emergence of HIV was traced the the 1930’s in a fascinating study.

RFK Jr. thinks that “poppers” cause AIDS.

In don’t think that recreational poppers were in wide circulation in the 1930’s.

But maybe I’m wrong about that.

Still what a wild statistic bsky.app/profile/bolt...
An astonishing 80 percent of the Louisiana's death sentences between 1976 and 2015 were later reversed.

A judge recently vacated the conviction of Chris Duncan, who had been on the state's death row for decades.
He’s Been On Louisiana’s Death Row for Decades. A Judge Just Vacated His Conviction.
Chris Duncan’s longtime claims of innocence were boosted by the discrediting of bite mark analysis, and by recent reforms now under threat from the state’s Republican leadership.

Big news today: Chris Duncan, who spent decades on Louisiana's death row on 'junk science' until his conviction was overturned this spring, is being released today.

You'll remember this story from a few months ago, when his conviction was overturned: boltsmag.org/chris-duncan...

Why is Peter “Mr. Antichrist” Thiel putting a Christian mask on extremist tech ideas...while DOGE's USAID cuts create a Silicon Valley genocide that could kill 14 million people in the next 5 years?

What would Jesus do?

If the book is mega out of print and you can’t get a used copy it’s fine to get a scanned pdf but otherwise just buy it lol. Libraries and book stores are two of the only enriching spaces we have left in this country.

If I have to hear one more "Well AkShUaLlY tomatoes are a fruit not a vegetable" I'm gonna scream

Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is not putting in a fruit salad.

Garden nerdiness is knowing that botanically there's no such thing as a vegetable 🌱

“People assume hunger looks one way,” said Domm. “But hunger today looks like your neighbor, your coworker, a retired bus driver, a federal employee, a parent who skipped their own dinner so their kids could eat.”

This holiday season, between the recent upending of SNAP benefits and increasing economic uncertainty, people are hungry. Queer groups are stepping in to make sure their communities get fed.

Really proud of this piece from Priyanka Bansal. I hope you'll give it a read.

Giving money to people IS politically palatable. It depends on who's receiving the money. Some white grifter with big talk and ideas gets money!

Everyday people who need food and shelter? No money for you! Giving everyday people money would have huge immediate, generational, and societal impacts.
People need food. Market won’t provide it. The government can. The government should.
People needing food does not necessarily imply government run grocery stores. Just as it does not imply government owned bakeries or millers or wheat fields.

Direct cash transfers are strong as a policy but not politically palatable.
