Happy Friday, Bluesky! I have been quiet lately but I have made progress on my nonprofit strategy site (custom AI advisor coming soon!) while looking for a job.

Vibe coding update...I'm still working on my Nonprofit Strategy Hub (strategic planning, analysis, KPI tracking, reporting).

I came up with new things to do for my Strategy Hub project, so I'll be working on that. Am I the only one working on a cool side project this weekend?

Peter Politician is a communist! What do you think when you read that. Do you know how the word 'communist' is being used in this case?

People are SO SCARED of strangers hurting them or their kids, but the data consistently supports that it’s far more likely to be a friend or family member. Most mass shootings are at private residences. Only a quarter of kidnappings are strangers.

Have you heard of looksmaxxing. Well, I invented thinkmaxxing as a semi-serious alternative. This graphic uses the kawaii template in NotebookLM. notebooklm.google.com/notebook/ed6...

Happy Friday! The weekend is a great time to learn how to guard your mind against misinformation, pseudoscience, and propaganda. Right? Do you have any favorite resources (books, blogs, YT channels) dealing with those topics?

Chester Davis @chesterdavis.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

Are you getting some of your facts and opinions from people who think evolution is fake, climate is weather, and capitalism is a form of government? You might be, without even realizing it.

www.tiktok.com/t/ZTBPk7EWt/ THIS Is why my skin itches when our pundits, consultants and talking heads insist that MAGA voted on “the economy.” NO THEY DID NOT! To them, everything is intertwined with white supremacy, and most especially “the economy.”

Thinkmaxxing book: Critical thinking and science literacy need to be trending, And, you need them to pick out good advice from bad. The same applies to health, relationships, career planning, personal finance, voting, & so on. But you might need a handy little no-fluff guide. Right?

Some say that common sense is enough to make sense of society. I beg to differ. This article explains why and shares a few more insights about how our minds can mislead us. Enjoy! chesterdavis.medium.com/the-common-s...

We live amidst a flood of information on society, nature, and the universe. Some of that information is, in fact, nonsense. But our minds…

Random Wednesday thought. We in the US are in week 76 of mid-term election campaigning. The lying and misrepresenting about social issues like crime, the economy, inequality, and the environment is likely to ramp up as election day approaches. Be ready!

Crime stinks. So does not knowing much about crime - what causes it and what we can do - because politicians and pundits use those gaps in knowledge against people. Learn a few things about crime and crime control by checking out this video (created using NotebookLM). youtu.be/GyQdfiy2zCw

Since this is Earth Day, it is a perfect time to remind you that the issues we face, and not just environmentally, are complex and there's plenty of real science to learn. Be mindful of what you are picking up from pundits, influencers, bloggers, and politicians. And, consider planting a tree!

Does it make sense for top American politicians to tell the Pope he isn't Pope-ing right? It does when you think of religion as a tool for power and social control. I'm not saying that's what religions are really for, just how some Big Shots use it.

And it isn't a debate when one side has random sample surveys and government statistics while the other side has stories and "common sense" to offer.

I wonder if groupthink played a role in where we are with Iran. A group of top administration people agreed that we could (really and truly!) knock out Iran's regime, terminate the ballistic missle threat, and get their enriched uranium. Oh, and there would be minimal political & economic fallout.

"Did you know that space travel is impossible?" You should probably ignore anything such a person says about science. It is the same for people who talk about welfare making people dependent on handouts, guns making us safer, and the US being a republic and not a democracy.

There's definitely a good case for dramatic changes in how we "do" capitalism. Either people end up wanting to do some radical reform or just replace the system, lots of people need to take the journey.

Repeat after me: the more you feel the need for media to explicitly tell you who's good and who's the villain, how to behave and how to love, the more you expect it to give you answers instead of making you think and ask questions, the more vulnerable you are to all kinds of propaganda.

Do you trust the right people on issues like poverty, violence, and climate change? The more important the issue is to you, the more important it is to make sure your information and analysis come from people who offer valid information and a fair-minded analysis.

The weekend's here! if you have some extra leisure time this weekend, do something fun to improve your science literacy. Knowledge is power. And propagandists now that ignorance produces opportunities.

Had a great idea for a post while on a walk. Forgot it. Remember this: You wouldn't take medical advice from an influencer who took a few "health" classes years ago. Right? Don't take lessons on how to "fix" society from influencers that have no relevant education or work experience!

Just stopping by to keep this account somewhat active. Please mind your minds as you consume commentary on what's going on and why. Misinformation merchants don't rest.

A trend called looksmaxxing emerged from the dark corners of the Web a few years ago. We need a positive counter to the nonsense these looksmaxxing influencers spew. We can call it thinkmamaxxing - critical thinking, science literacy, snark, slang.

Chester Davis @chesterdavis.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

Ever heard of looksmaing. This is seemingly an outgrowth of the masculine, mysogynist "man-o-sphere" that fuels and then exploits a segment of the male population that is young, and leans toward being insecure and socially isolated besides.

Banning institutional investors from buying homes likely won't make housing more affordable? This is a good reminder that we should check to be sure our "solutions" will work before we become committed.

Random Science Thoughts (tm): The information and analysis we consume doesn't come to us right from scientists' minds. Instead, politicians, activists, and business leaders promote ideas that might be scientifically grounded (or not) but that definitely serve various interests.

Still focused on job hunting and upskilling/reskilling. But I did start working on a custom app in ChatGTP this week. I'm not going to say what it fits in with the other tools for activists and nonprofit leaders that I've created.

I might get back to writing my social science essays this week. This week's essay will be a detailed answer to this Q: Is self-improvement a social problem? Does that question bring to mind a question you'd want me to answer?
