@abdulelsayed.bsky.social triumphing over something like $60 million, $32-ish million of it AIPAC money, is not a "narrow" victory, it's a people's earthquake. This kind of spending is oligarchy in action, to smother democracy through its formal channels, and is getting normalized. Still he won.

Altaira Morbius@altairamorbius.bsky.social · 3d agoNot even joking that, as a teacher, the fact that kids aren’t encountering shows like Frasier is part of why we’re seeing such weird gaps in reading. We built a lot of background knowledge with humor aimed at grownups, while they only see content aimed specifically at their personal interests/age.

The difference between COVID as an individual disease and a societal disease is very simple. Individuals take care themselves, but a government. Just protect the masses based upon the support resources available.
Lupita Nihongo@otsumamiboy.blacksky.app · 4d agoWhat I hate about COVID downplayers is… you won okay. In the aftermath of humanity coming together to develop the most crucial vaccines of our lifetime & collectively sacrificing to save lives, we are now less safe, less vaccinated & less empathetic than ever. You won ok. Lay down your swords.
