I love/hate how some of the tech group chats I have been in from pretty much the beginning of the group most of the women who contributed so much in beginning have more or less soft quit and don't bother commenting because it's such a circle jerk of the most terminally online, out of touch techbros
Meta, obviously a bad actor, is now requiring public facebook pages to pay for a monthly subscription in order to post links. This place had a real chance and absolutely fumbled it, in large part, I believe, because of the sneering condescension....
Big Dracula Energy@mayawest.online · 9h agoI am not going to argue with condescending tech bros who think they understand how average human beings use the internet! no one cares about atproto except the users here and other nerds! the average person does not even know Bluesky EXISTS, you are myopic chauvinists!

🚨 New preprint from our lab led by Sophia Kim w/ @kellydoran.bsky.social group @cuanschutz.bsky.social -- using neonatal 🐭 model of bacterial meningitis ➡️ arachnoid barrier is leaky, Cldn11 junctions are disrupted & cytokines are part of the problem. Lots of 🤩🧠🦠🔬 & compelling data, check it out! 1/5
![graphical schematic of the meninges on top depicting the three layers [dura, arachnoid and pia] and other immune and vascular cell types. Inset shows Claudin-11 junction proteins connecting two sides of arachnoid barrier cells
bottom schematic is the same but in inflammation with bacteria, junctions breakdown, depiction of cytokine release by vascular, meningeal and immune cells - at side of graphic is summary of defects we observe in infection: 'increased barrier permeability' 'mislocalization of Cldn11+ tight junction' 'BAM activation' and "increased inflammatory response'](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ghkjazitflwyaczzoo6mwmld/bafkreig7atwvlrm776nsb46y2ctlhldvpkornt4kfr33iptb7eaidm32hm)

JD Vance: “I wouldn’t call it a war.” Trump: “It’s small potatoes.” Meanwhile Iran is still firing at U.S. allies and American taxpayers are still footing the bill. Maybe words matter less when you're trying to make a six-month conflict disappear before the midterms. 🤷♀️ apnews.com/article/iran...

Marie 🇨🇦@pawbaby2.bsky.social · 2w agoDoes ANYONE actually believe this? 😂 Another Trump cheque. Another election promise. Vote for me now, trust me about the money later. At this point, Trump’s promises are worth less than the imaginary cheques. #USDemocracy #RisingBlue
Trump says the $5,000 checks are “easy.” Then Mike Johnson says Congress would actually have to approve them. Amazing how reality keeps interrupting the Trump campaign. 🙃 www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...
House Speaker Mike Johnson says Trump's $5,000 'dividend' needs congressional approval
Trump made the unusual pitch at the party's midterm convention in Dallas last week, promising a “Trump Dividend” if voters keep the GOP in power on Capitol Hill.

When you internalize the idea that the suffering of an out-group is inevitable, you are relieved of the responsibility of actually trying to relieve it; your moral obligation is satisfied merely by "bearing witness."
