A study was just published that a large percentage of ad clicks during the superbowl was from bots. Once advertisers digest that, many are probably going to pull their ad spend there. That's going to hurt as well.

You know what would be "tough on crime"? living wage fully funded schools guaranteed access to healthy food affordable housing universal health and child care care instead of incarceration for people with substance use disorder and mental illness

this is an example of a rhetorical device called Apophasis, which comes from the Greek "to say no"; it's when you bring up a subject by denying you are bringing up a subject it’s a fun SciComm trick because you can be Dramatic w/o lying (& it’s true you don't actually need to worry about it lol) 🧪

So many truly terrible takes about transgender people on the bird site. My state(Utah) is failing horribly on the issue as well. I'm glad that on Bluesky, if anything, transgender people run the place! It is refreshing to not see so much ignorance and culture warring over here.

Absolutely imperative that everyone make a plan starting now to attend a minimum of 3 school board and/or library board meeting in 2024 in your locality. Reading banned books is nice but that's not going to reverse anything happening. Be present, get others to join you.

Have you looked into the archive? What I saw in mine was problematic. Tweets cut short (140 for new 280 chars tweets??) Missing context because you only see your own. Sadly, for those who were way more active than me, the archive is not going to cut it.

You can request an archive of all your data over there. I'm doing that now to see what it looks like and if it is useful enough to be able to delete with confidence.

Did you ever look into the follow-up of the rail strike? I was surprised to hear recently that the administration kept up pressure and got the workers some things they wanted. From a quick google: www.google.com/amp/s/amp.th...

It seems in the last few days on the bird site, a lot of "intellectual dark web" types are saying things like, "if we have lockdowns again for another virus, there will be civil war!". So yeah, they've taken things too far. In America, nobody was absolutely forced to lock down.

Yeah, you are mostly correct. It is also a pet peeve of mine. I meant to say from the beginning of the pandemic, but my brain shortcutted. My wife is also immunocompromised, so we had a lot of self imposed lockdown. Avoided COVID until 3 weeks ago, and luckily she survived. (Thanks Remdesivir!)

But sadly all other clinics, hospitals, and Instacares in the area have just dropped masking.

One local clinic that I go to in town still has that left over from the lockdowns. If you are a walk-in and are likely infectious, you get a curbside in-car evaluation and test, and go in a side entrance if they want to do more of a checkup.

I forgot to post the flip side of this: "The regret rate for gender affirming surgeries is, depending on the study, between 1% and 0.1%. And so what are you doing to write all of these stories about this population that mostly doesn't exist?"

"So what that is to say is that cis and trans people are accessing the same hormones, hormone blockers, birth control, hair removal, mastectomies, breast augmentation, orchiectomy, hysterectomies, vaginoplasties, BBLs, Botox, fillers, all of it is the same."

"And I just really want to stress, because I think people actually don't know this, that the medical resources that trans people access to transition are actually identical to the way that non-trans people's sex and gender are routinely medicalized, to quote Jules Gil Peterson."

"About one in five people regret their total knee replacements. One in five people regret their gastric band surgery. In fact, the average regret rate across all surgeries, if you just average the concept of surgery, the regret rate is about 14%. One in seven."

I'm among the crowd who first learned about this by watching the "Watchmen" HBO series, and thought it was a purely fictional depiction. My education failed me.

Interesting -- the page I linked to above suggests that one in the picture I posted is more likely a Sphynx than a hummingbird moth, since the latter's range doesn't extend into Utah.

Doing the quote your own post for visibility thing I hate so much. DMS open if you have ideas, or friends who would be good for the site.
