Worth reading, and it's a good object lesson to take to heart if you want to avoid a repeat here on Bluesky. Do not engage with the trolls and bad actors. Block, move on, and amplify those who are good and positive and uplifting. It's not living in a bubble; it's emotional self-defense.

Suspect a *lot* of hyper-polarization of the past few years, and abandonment of shared reality, comes down to this too. Huge, huge numbers of folks became very socially isolated and in economically precarious positions, making them much more vulnerable to more extreme and anticollaborative positions

The things that kill otherwise healthy elderly people are boredom, depression and isolation and we've turned large chunks of this country into machines built to generate all three. The nearest thing my aunt could walk to was a gas station, 2.5 miles away across a major highway. Seems bad.

In a very real sense, religion gives you a place to have friends, meet them regularly, and spaces to just chill, emotionally vent, or resolve (emotionally, if not actually) pent-up issues of unknowably big questions about life or life events, and that is larger than any particular theology.

The lies about the pill have been debunked over and over. What we need to do now is not get mired in that argument, but talk about why men don't want partners who control pregnancy. The reason is never good. Only shitty, abusive men who want to trap someone find Musk's lie attractive.

Ladies: If your boyfriend repeats this lie, dump him immediately. He's letting you know that the only way he can imagine keeping you around in the long run is if he traps you with unwanted childbearing. What's so wrong with that he knows he has to trap you before you find out his dark secret?

The most overlooked story of the week.👀

In just the first six weeks of 2024, Republicans and their allies have filed ten lawsuits aimed at making voting more difficult and elections less secure.

Five of those legal challenges have been filed in Arizona

Shout out to George Gerbner who told us a million years ago that the more local TV news your uncle John watches the more he’ll suffer from mean world syndrome (and thus support draconian social policy). It feels like this has only become more true with segmentation and conglomeration

I just went over to the bad place where "Adrian Dittman" is hosting a space and can 100% confirm that it is Musk. I mean, he's not even trying to not sound like himself.

I’m not making this up… a friend bought Darwin a neckerchief. He got it out (we keep his clothes in a basket). So I put it on and he has been prancing about like this all day, pleased. Sometimes he brings me his blue shirt or the sweater Ellia knitted. Folks. I let my #cat pick out his clothes.

At 93, Richard Morgan is a four-time world champion in indoor rowing, with the aerobic engine of a healthy 30- or 40-year-old and the body-fat percentage of a whippet. He’s also the subject of a new case study, published last month in the Journal of Applied Physiology.
