I left Twitter because couldn’t support anything musk. Science and engineering educated and I look to artists to help me stay balanced and to the Bluesky community to stay sane in these troubling times.
Pinned
I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea
Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me
I am hanging in the balance of the reality of man
Like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand

You guys caught this too, right?
“Donald J. Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.” ███████ noted some girl with a funny name “took me into a fancy hotel or building, that’s how it happened.”
Also this: she was advised to call the police. But she replied, “I can’t, they will kill me.”

Donald Trump, Tuesday, December 23, 2025: "Anybody that disagrees with me will never be the Fed Chairman."
Words that will haunt any Trump Fed nominee.
Trump could not be more clear: he's going to install a puppet that serves his needs, not the American people.

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

This. This was the formative event of my generation & our entire politics in 🇺🇸. The structural break after which we were no longer a full democracy, when 5 Wizards In Robes decided they were a super-legislature & counting all the actual votes didn’t matter. The rest has been 25 years of commentary.
25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.

This Atlantic analysis echoes the long convo I had recently with a European researcher who maintains that social media cannot be fixed because the problem lies in its very infrastructure and human nature cannot deal with it. I increasingly think he is correct. arstechnica.com/science/2025...

FTC Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter has been a strong advocate for consumers in the face of tech monopolies.
She was wrongly fired by Trump and is fighting back at the Supreme Court to ensure independent agencies established by Congress remain independent.

Supreme Court to hear case that could vastly expand presidential powers
The Supreme Court hears arguments in a case about President Trump's firing of a Federal Trade Commissioner. At stake is a 90-year precedent limiting the president's power over independent agencies.
