A caricature from the Onion’s op-ed comics who wears a shirt labeled “sickos” looks through a window with approval. His words have been edited to say “Thomas Ha ha ha… yes!”

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.
"WE'VE ARRANGED A society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces. Who is running the science and technology in a democracy if the people don't know anything about it?"
"Science is more than a body of knowledge, it's a way of thinking. A way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling along."

Prince Andrew is giving up all his titles in response to the Epstein fallout and not a single news org has run the headline “The Pedophile Formerly Known as Prince” Come on, media! You’re missing a golden opportunity!

We got tricked by science fiction into thinking a futuristic city is all about flying cars and crystal towers and hologram billboards but what it really looks like is nice apartment blocks, good mass transit, pedestrian zones with shade trees and safe bike lanes.

I saw an author thread about anti-intellectualism in reading. They revealed they'd paid a book review site for "honest reviews" but then the reviews were poor quality. Buddy, the problem isn't anti-intellectualism, it's that you used a sketchy service and got scammed

Quote from Greenwire article on Gaetz AG nomination: “Luckily all of our environmental laws are older than 18 years, so Rep. Gaetz shouldn’t have much interest in them,” said Brett Hartl, government affairs director at the Center for Biological Diversity, a frequent litigant in environmental lawsuits.

one of the reasons bluesky works differently is because early users waged a successful fight to get the devs to prioritize safety features to protect communities at risk as a result bluesky now has a suite of controls that i think are unmatched on social media here’s the list, lmk what i’ve missed
A Probably Incomplete List of Bluesky User Safety Mechanisms

Protecting your posts
• disabling replies on your posts
• limiting replies on your posts to people you follow, mention, or include in specific lists
• disabling quote posting on your posts
• detaching your post from someone else's quote
• changing the above interaction settings even after a post is sent hiding replies to your posts for yourself or for everyone
• self-labeling your media for adult or graphic content to protect other users
• limiting account visibility only to logged in users
• note: this is not 100% enforceable but all major bluesky clients and apps support it

Limiting your interaction
• blocking users from seeing or interacting with your posts
• if you block after an interaction, they vaporize
• if they've replied already, the entire thread below their reply is cauterized for everyone, floating in space detached from your post
• note: your blocks are publicly visible via 3rd party apps
• muting users to remove them from your notis and feeds, and hide them in replies
• note: your mutes are private
• muting or blocking entire moderation lists of users
• note: inclusion in a list is public via third party apps. muting a list is private, blocks via a list are public
• subscribing to other people's mod lists
• note: your subscription is private, muting & blocking work the same
• subscribing to labelers (moderation services) from bluesky or third parties
o decide whether to show, warn, or hide posts that have been labeled in each category
• report content that should be labeled to bluesky and/or third parties labelers

I think we're reaching serious legitimacy crisis levels for prestige media. Coverage this election has been so bad that many are reaching their breaking point. This article isn't even a particularly bad offender but patience for this sort of rhetoric is at an all-time low

Let me be the next mayor of New York. I have the progressive politics and lack of corruption that voters crave while still maintaining the city’s timeless mayoral tradition of clearly despising NYC and thinking I should be in charge of it without living in it

People complain about celebrities being performative but Taylor Swift endorsed Harris last night (a full month earlier than when she endorsed Biden in 2020) and it still wasn’t fast enough for some very vocal people who spent weeks theorizing that she was a secret Trump supporter

Thinking about how 6ish years ago, the guy who joked "Trump wants to watch the gorilla channel" was roundly scolded by the entire media. Now whoever first joked "Vance fucks couches" is basically a national hero. Dems have made great progress in the field of trolling

USC doesn’t want her to talk about genocide, but she minored in “resistance to genocide.” It’s amazing. A school offers an area of study, a brilliant student follows through on it and is punished as a result.

I criticized the Goodreads Choice Awards making a romantasy category which struck me as a clear attempt to dodge Fourth Wing winning the fantasy category that year. Some random Redditor then spent 12 hours yelling at me that I was an elitist who hated romance

I guess it goes without saying to some degree but the joy in creating art is finally realizing something you’ve been working hard at for so long. It makes sense that once you can get it in an instant, it devalues the actual appeal of creative impulses by making it too easy
