I for one think it’s bad that the president can just say crazy stuff all day every day and 99% of it doesn’t make the news because we’ve normalized having an insane president

Crazy idea. The combined economic might of non-US western countries is unmatched. What if we collaborated to create a nextgen social media platform that helps protect democracies from unchecked hate and disinformation? What if we went a step further and created a safer AI? 100% unamerican.

Thank you @joho.bsky.social. From Tierney to Zweig, Macedo to Lee, we're seeing a wave of COVID revisionism sweep over the US, with very serious people nodding their heads in assent. Except it's all a fantasy. What's not a fantasy is the destruction their heroes are doing to public health right now.

Thank you for following me on Bluesky. This profile pic is set at Newspaper Rock in Utah. Two thousand years ago people chose a place to share important information. They did not go there to confuse people with lies. They wanted to record the greatest achievements and truths about their time.

Robert F Kennedy Jr recently said the MMR vaccine contains fetal debris and DNA fragments. This is where these claims come from, and why there’s no need to worry.
