The problem is we had three rounds of it that all sucked.

First blockchain/Web3. Then Metaverse. Then finally AI but we were all sick of the hype by the time AI rolled around.

I don't actually know why Dril has been banned, but I know capricious mysterious moderation is the very opposite of what had attracted me to Bluesky, as originally pitched.

Pulling climate data offline, canceling research grants, and de-funding scientific institutions doesn't just suppress climate information. It weakens the foundation we rely on to make good decisions of any kind.

In my latest "Tea with Katharine" I share why investment in science is so important!

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Members of the President’s own family mocked the attack on Paul Pelosi by posting pics of underwear and a hammer.

But god forbid you’re a comedian pointing out the truth about a white supremacist.

I think the evidence for Covid-19, a vascular and inflammatory disease that infected multiple organs, infecting and impacting the immune system had always been pretty strong.

BREAKING: Social Security Administration chief data officer and whistle-blower Charles Borges has resigned after bombshell report that SSA put highly-sensitive data at risk. He sent out an email to colleagues moments ago.

Here is the text of his email shared with me:

In light of this deeply illegal activity at NSF and the ongoing attack on American science, I'm posting the slides from my 2017 talk at the American Physical Society about the Nazi take over of German physics/why German is no longer science's lingua franca 🧪

a meme from a ted lasso still intended to suggest, ultimately, that ted lasso season 3 was bad and ted lasso season 4 is ominous

Corey Wiley on Twitter writes: "You don’t get it. Foundational immigration law is morally just and has been established over millennia. Disrespecting these rules and ideals is very offensive to folks who highly value civilized society"

Not true.

I see you're a luxury watch dealer. I'm also interested in watches. Let me show you how free and easy migration has allowed you to earn a living. 🧵

The saddest part is, it may be just something to muddle through with for a few years, with seniors correcting hallucinations and the government "saving money". The problem really comes when there's no new seniors ... Because they cut off the pipeline by not hiring juniors.

IT’S PERFECT

i just wish they dropped more at once but i know why they only did 2 eps

“Just stay home” is not a public health strategy.

Non disabled people were livid during stay at home orders. They found the idea of being forced to stay home unpalatable, yet they’re only too happy to demand the disabled do it for the rest of our lives.

Clean air & masking make spaces accessible.

Just a friendly reminder that our current Covid vaccines do not meaningfully prevent infection or transmission of Covid. Misleading the public about this fact led to massive distrust about vaccines and record vaccine hesitancy. It's SO crucial to make ppl aware of this fact to fight vax hesitancy

Alex came up with cool ideas that really added to the worldbuilding. And he really understood the social anxiety and awkwardness of the character. The way he walks and moves in the suit is perfect.

"There will probably be some disruption to the junior dev market" I'm sorry but do you think senior devs happen when you teach the over 30s to code? It's an apprenticeship model - lose the junior dev pipeline now, no senior devs in years to come.

Feels like beyond reciprocal tariffs a more appropriate response would be specific targeted taxes on certain local (to them) hotels, golf courses, branded goods and other sources of income.

Hey everyone. Give Peter a warm welcome to BlueSky! He's one of the heroes. He's been a voice for science, for vaccines, for reason in these terrible times!

The terrible CR Budget bill — written by right-wing House Republicans with no input from anybody but themselves — was passed tonight with the support of 10 Democrats.
 
An absolute failure of Democratic leadership. NOBODY in the Senate should have voted for this dangerous bill.

Twice now I have heard that the painting of Virginia Hall has been removed from pride of place at the CIA at Langley as part of the anti DEI campaign. If this is true, it is historical vandalism pure and simple. Virginia is one of the greatest American war heroes in history. Read my bestselling book

For those of us who are used to living in a democracy, the term you are looking for here is "state repression."

If people were really just dying from chronic diseases then how come they weren’t dying from their chronic diseases until after March, 2020?

Just so you know, I just tweeted this.

I guess I'd love to see Democratic politicians using dirty tricks on Republicans for a change rather than exhausting all their dirty tricks on their own progressive primary challengers
