You are a violent and irrepressible miracle. The vacuum of cosmos and the stars burning in it are afraid of you. Given enough time you would wipe us all out and replace us with nothing -- just by accident.

Thinking of just logging off forever and getting my news entirely from the “Yoto Daily” show.
"Some 40 years [ago], Finland´s capital started to design new solutions to reduce deadly road accidents - and then eventually eliminate them. Those efforts have now paid off. 12 consecutive months without a single road death..." You mean they didn't just try telling people to follow the law?
A year with zero deaths on its streets: How Helsinki became a world reference for road safety
With around 1.4 million inhabitants, the Helsinki metropolitan area has achieved an unquestionable milestone in road safety. What can other EU capitals and big cities learn from its success story?

I often say the rise in students coming to our dept with diagnoses of various kinds of neurodivergence has been matched with a corresponding fall of students coming with generalised depression. Because, you know. They're getting a diagnosis of the actual problem rather than feeling they don't fit.
Rosie (she/her)@airfriedrosie.bsky.social · 3w agoRemember Streeting's review into whether young people are being overdiagnosed with ADHD, autism, and mental health issues? Well, the interim report is out, and there's a reason the media are silent on it (spoiler: it proves what a lot of us have been saying all along)

The disability community has long worried about what would happen if special education oversight moved from the Education Department to another agency. Now, those moves are becoming more real. n.pr/3SVjgTt
In private call, Education Dept. tried, but failed, to reassure disability advocates

DOJ memo suggesting “interpreting” Olmsted differently. The Supreme Court decision that affirms disabled people’s right to live in a community instead of institutionalization. If you don’t push back against this, nondisabled Americans, we’re in deep shit. From your son with an IEP to your grandma.
Awww, yeah. My fave new-on-the-scene science communicator, Jackdaw, has a FANTASTIC new vid about the many species of human that have existed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vX8r...

It's not the energy bills, water usage, noise pollution, toxic emissions, data privacy issues, backroom deals, or the middle class paying for tax incentives for billionaires. Chinese bribery of millions of Americans is the only logical explanation for why anyone would not want a datacenter nearby.
I have a paper coming out soon about how the erosion of medical privacy for trans people would lead to this and even I'm shocked at how brazen this is.
Elizabeth Jacobs, PhD@elizabethjacobs.bsky.social · 2mo agoThis is the single most alarming thing I’ve seen yet from RFK Jr. He is attempting to get identifiable medical records from ALL OF US. “Under the proposal, HHS would get data from 90% of the population’s medical records by 2028”. This CANNOT be permitted to happen.
This photo of Andy Kim in the moments before ICE gassed everyone at Delaney Hall is going into the history books. We need more of this from our electeds.
Can’t believe that Andy Kim is in two of the most haunting pictures of the last few years.

It is everyone's patriotic duty to make e-bike summer a thing this summer and for every summer that follows.
Norm Charlatan@normcharlatan.bsky.social · 2mo agoRode my e-bike to drink some vodka-based cocktails on a bar patio on a beautiful day with some other preschool parents whom I got to know during ICE Occupation. Biked home on a wonderful evening. Felt good to be in community, I guess they call it. E-bike summer begins.
I am actually going to tear my own face off and eat it

How an Alleged Child Predator Remade the Nation’s Second-Largest Faith Group in His Image
Paul Pressler helped ordain the marriage between white evangelicals and the GOP, all while accusations of sexual abuse piled up. Right-wing groups are still using his political playbook

Robert Downen@robertdownen.bsky.social · 3mo agoTomorrow morning, we will be dropping a ~12,000 word story on Paul Pressler, the alleged sexual predator who remade the Southern Baptist Convention and helped ordain the marriage between the GOP and white evangelical voters. There is *a lot* in there and I hope you'll read it.

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia— AOC: Wah wah wah. We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.
This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.
