This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen.

Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !”

I joined Bluesky about a month ago. I thought I’d never be able to find my favourite Canadian Twitter people. But they were here and slowly I found them. And more.

We live in terrifying times and it has been hugely comforting to hear strong Canadian voices on this platform.

Juno Beach, June 6, 1944.
When Americans and Brits were still struggling in the water, young Canadians were clearing the Nazis out of Normandy.
This is who we are.
We wouldn't sell out our country or any other nation to thugs.
Go ask the people of Normandy.
They will tell you what Canada means.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

This morning I reached 250,000 followers here on Bluesky, which is a gobsmackingly large number for me. Thanks so much for following me; I hope I make your experience in the sky better. To celebrate, I've donated to @aclu.org, which helps defend immigrant rights.

I was interviewed at CES this morning. We mentioned that consumers will decide whether they want to be on a platform that is “unfiltered free speech “ or “ moderated”. I mentioned that I loved @bsky.app , and spontaneously people started clapping 🔥.

X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m.

Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app?

If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

It's really not about leaving the other platforms. It's about bringing people here and giving them more engagement than the other apps.

That's what people want. Engagement. Takes nothing to offer it

If there is a user on another app that you like, DM them and invite them here. Post and tag me

IF YOU BELIEVE THE MANY SHOULD HAVE CONTROL OVER THE FEW, this is your time.
As a decentralized platform, @bsky.app is probably the last, best chance for this to happen

This has nothing to do with me. I'm just stating the obvious.

It has everything to do with what the 1.2m @bsky.app users do.

While we’re banning books…

Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.

Be. Like. Finland.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.

They run them bc people react to them the most.

If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.

It’s not easy and takes constant practice!
