NEW: The United States has reported its first outbreak of H5N9 bird flu in poultry on a duck farm in California. Perhaps this is not the best time to put an anti-vaxxer crackpot in charge of our public health agencies

we have a president with a tenuous grip on small legislative majorities who is out of the gate with a flurry of dramatically unpopular orders and who has just demonstrated his weakness on the international stage. if i were an elected member of his domestic opposition, i might try to draw real blood.

Hello new followers! Here's one of my favorite older comics.
A four-panel comic called Instinct is Weird. In panel 1, a yellow warbler looks at a beautiful nest in a shrub and says "I made this for some reason". In panel 2, there are five eggs in the nest and she says "these are my smooth round children". In panel 3 an egg has hatched into a yelling hatchling, and she says "Oh no now it's loud". In panel 4 she looks distressed as five hatchlings now fill the nest, begging for food, and she says "help".

I think the Reagan Thatcher era was the start of the end of the age of hope and the notion of the common good in America. It was the end of JFK's Camelot, RFK's work to end poverty, LBJ's War on Poverty. It wasn't Morning in America as he suggested but Mourning in America. It became all about $$$.

WOW. Allies of GOP Rep. Mike Turner, who was removed by Mike Johnson as chair of the House Intelligence Committee, told Fox News that Turner is furious and he’s “never going to vote for another blanking thing around here again.” Turner has missed all House votes in the last 48 hours.

NEW: Meta has quietly dismantled the system that prevented misinformation from spreading in the United States. Machine-learning classifiers that once identified viral hoaxes and limited their reach have now been switched off, Platformer has learned www.platformer.news/meta-ends-mi...
Behind the scenes, the company was also quietly dismantling a system to prevent the spread of misinformation. When the company announced on Jan. 7 that it would end its fact-checking partnerships, the company also instructed teams responsible for ranking content in the company’s apps to stop penalizing misinformation, according to sources and an internal document obtained by Platformer.

The result is that the sort of viral hoaxes that ran roughshod over the platform during the 2016 US presidential election — “Pope Francis endorses Trump,” Pizzagate, and all the rest — are now just as eligible for free amplification on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads as true stories.

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

A LinkedIn post from attorney Mark Lemly. Meta’s attorney firing his client because of Zuckerberg’s descent into toxic masculinity and neo-nazi madness.  Interestingly, he will continue to engage on FB, delete threads.  But will BUY NOTHING from the ads so they don’t get credit for the purchases.
