I think Cory Doctorow really put it best Conservatives think everything in the past was different from what is really was because they are remembering it from the viewpoint of childhood naïveté

Cory Doctorow
@doctorow
Replying to @jonrog1

A pathology of conservativism is that 'things used to be simple.' No, you used to be a kid. Your parents shielded you from life's complexity.
Things are complex because you're an adult now. Conservativism is the desire to be a child.

To see an entire classroom start to doodle and scribble zines, form little editorial teams, make plans for publication, it's so obvious that sharing stories is how humans connect, and how we understand the world. It's not frivolous.

Listen. ONE of the reasons I rock with Dolly (Capricorn Gang) is because she’s always proven to me that integrity may cause you pain, but it will never be the reason you suffer. Which is not to say that suffering won’t come, but it’ll never be because you abandoned yourself. That’ll keep you going.

Is the cotton in the room with us?

Screenshot of a Lululemon product page for a 'Textured Double-Knit Cotton Hoodie' priced at $148 USD. Despite 'cotton' in the product name, the materials list shows the body is made of 82% Nylon and 18% Lycra Elastane, with no cotton content listed. The pocket lining contains 86% Recycled Polyester and 14% Elastane.

I'm appalled by how quickly everything has fallen apart. The daily violations of our Constitution are one thing. But all the other norms and values that defined our nation turned out to be fragile oral traditions that were easily poisoned by a critical mass of bad actors in service to a demagogue.

Pet parrots which typically live alone (whilst those in the wild live in large flocks) were given the technology to call each other. They would use it for up to three hours a day, and developed favourite friends 💔 on.ft.com/3K05vhS

When a parrot wanted to connect with a distant friend, a touchscreen showed a selection of other birds available online. The parrots learned to activate the screen, designed specially for them, by touching it gently with their tongues rather than pecking aggressively with their beaks.
"We had 26 birds involved," said Hirskyj-Douglas. "They would use the system up to three hours a day, with each call lasting up to five minutes." The interactions ranged from preening and playing with toys to loud vocal exchanges.
"When we went through the data, we found that most of these parrots had favourite friends," said Hirskyj-Douglas.

It's really hard to tell at this point but I think years from now this will be one of the most destructive things that RFK Jr did at HHS. Mammograms, FIT tests and colonoscopies, diabetes, blood pressure, depression screens. All of these are as widely available as they are because of USPSTF.

I think some people have trouble seeing fascism as anything other than 1940s Germany. But I think 'people going to a comic convention needing to have a plan in case the government's goons show up to disappear people' is a pretty good demonstration of what it can look like in 2025.

It's not climate change, it's weather weapons. It's not capitalism making us poor, it's a shadowy group of pedophiles. It's not easy access to guns, it's false flags to ban them. Time after time, conspiracy theories act as a shiny distraction from the systemic issues destroying society.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.
