Many of us are echoing @timothysnyder.bsky.social's lesson in On Tyranny, "Do not obey in advance.”

A no less vital admonition that deserves attn:

STAND OUT

“...without that unease, there is no freedom. The moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow."

Never forget this. The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Pesticides and prostate cancer incidence and mortality: An environment‐wide association study For this environment-wide association study, the authors assessed potential associations between pesticide exposure and prostate cancer outcomes in US counties, identifying 22 pesticides associated w....

Prostate cancer is the number one cancer among US men. Guys, losing your sexual functioning and maybe your life seems like a high price to pay for keeping ragweed out of the soybean fields.

Here’s the full text, open-access journal article.

22 pesticides show links to prostate cancer The new finding comes from an analysis of pesticide use and prostate cancer incidence in over 3,100 U.S. counties.

NEW RESEARCH: 22 pesticides are linked to prostate cancer risk and four are linked to prostate cancer death. One (thiamethoxam) is an insecticide. Three (trifluralin, chloransulam-methyl, diflufenzopyr) are weedkillers.

Brand name of trifluralin is…Trust.

Trump crying “TRUE!!!” in response to post by Judicial Watch saying, GOOD NEWS: Reports are the incoming @RealDonaldTrump administration prepared to declare a national emergency and will use military assets to reverse the Biden invasion through a mass deportation program.

Beware the Day One dictator.

Sit with that for a sec.”

Next time you're applying for a job, tell your prospective employer you'd prefer they not do a background check.

Let's see how that goes.

A friend of mine just said, "The dildo of consequences rarely arrives lubed," and I think that's gonna be the MAGA experience over the next four years.

Why wouldn’t EVERYONE want to see the ethics report on Matt Gaetz? If he did nothing wrong, it would exonerate him, no?

To recap: Defense nominee accused of sexual assault; AG nominee investigated for sex trafficking; Intel nominee is a Putin sympathiser; Health nominee is an anti vaccine crackpot who beheaded a whale with a chainsaw and had part of his brain eaten by a worm.

The thing that kills me is you don't need a time machine to understand this. My buddy is in his 80s and grew up on Iowa. He point blank said as a kid sometimes other kids just died. That was his childhood.

I don't want to sound alarmist or anything, but I'm not sure it's a good idea to skip FBI background checks and bury congressional ethics reports about nominees to the most important posts in the federal government.

some hero needs to leak this shit

Good stuff

Update: His health guy doesn't believe in medical science. His law guy is a sex trafficker. His intelligence gal is a Russian asset.

You're all caught up.

Just a quick note to those new here, if you think someone's post is worth other people reading, repost it. Liking it does not have the same effect here as on the dead-bird site. There is no algorithm. That's one of the reasons we like it.

Quote saying his political posts are because he loves his country and feels it’s his patriotic duty to oppose “this demented sociopath with every fibre of me being.”

Be like Mark Hamill.

I was never much of a Xitter user and it's likely that fboo will remain my primary social media. But I wonder how you all see the role of Bluesky in the social media multiverses?

Hi everybody!
