A series of texts from Anthony Fauci’s phone that critics have called revelatory are in fact irrelevant to the many more interesting questions about his actions during the pandemic, @engber.bsky.social argues:

Guys, it's a really good time to just log off for a bit, pull out a Nintendo and just dive into some retro games you haven't played in years and escape from the global affairs that aren't going great and you have very little influence over.

Trump’s actions in Venezuela set a dangerous precedent. Acting without legitimacy weakens our credibility, divides us at home, and plays right into the hands of Putin and Xi. Clip with @briefingwithpsaki.bsky.social

Horrific reminder of the criticality of building essential safety measures and material selection for interiors. It's hard to fathom a fire started by a candle causing this many deaths but there will surely be deficiencies in key areas that massively escalated the level of loss of life 😢

Reports of a mass shooting at Bondi Beach, Sidney, at or near a Hanukkah event which was taking place on the beach. I have seen videos of two men in black shooting down to the beach, but I'm not sure if those are the assailants or LEO. Reports of many casualties.

Many leftists need to reckon with the way they are perceived, and how unwittingly divisive their behaviour is at times. It is what is driving younger men, from all racial blocs out of the left wing party. They only want a leader that actively pushes back against this force of hivemind thought

The government has killed 32 people in 7 strikes with no evidence they were traffickers. The admiral leading the mission quit. If we had proof, they’d face a court, not a drone. The law still applies, even to suspected drug traffickers, and right now, the Administration’s story isn’t adding up.

Despite huge advancements in technology & worker productivity since the 1970s, wages for American workers have remained stagnant and almost all new wealth has gone to the people on top. Will it be any different with AI and robotics? I don’t think so. Maybe even worse.

Watching the calls for accolades for Trump over the middle east ceasefire is irksome. If course, credit where it's due, and I will give him credit where he deserves it. But Israel finally accepting the deal they should have taken long ago is not a big win.

Contentment is determined less by experience than by the degree to which experience matches expectations. Happiness, then, is not about acquiring the big things but learning to appreciate the small ones.

It worries me to see people on Bluesky with their head in the sand about the political position of the Kirk shooter. Of course some terrorists are left wing. The root cause is misguided 20 something's with huge chips on their shoulder, and ready access to firearms, living in a heavily divided world.

The most alarming thing about the Charlie Kirk assassination is both sides bases complete unwillingness to entertain the idea that the assassin may be from their ideological group. Two completely different understandings of the facts have been forged and there will be no changing.
