we first covered balaji and his network state school concept on illconceivedpodcast.com about 9 months ago and it’s scary how much more its leaned into the cult-like techno-natalist elements of it since then
Ill Conceived@illconceivedpodcast.com · 2mo agoicymi, balaji srinivasan's "network school" just got banned from malaysia and is now moving to kazakhstan, where they're making a hard pivot into being a natalist cult-compound. this is a promotional video from their website
There were a lot of articles recently about how bad it was for Cambridge to hire someone who made up stories about their experiences, and now Yale has hired this man?

Gregg Gonsalves@gregggonsalves.bsky.social · 2mo agoNow why would Yale do this? The man, as @jamellebouie.net says, is a fabulist. He is making stuff up. But what stuff-an indictment of the university-and that's what matters. An indictment-all made up, but Yale cannot tell the difference or doesn't care. 3/ jackson.yale.edu/news/david-b...
"you're a crazy conspiracy nut for saying speed cameras might make it possible to track the movements of law abiding citizens but also you shouldn't care even if they can do that because your cell phone can read your mind and tell the govt your thoughts before you even think them"
Worth reiterating every time that this is not some cancel-culture purity test: JK Rowling has pledged more than a billion dollars of her Harry Potter money towards bankrolling anti-trans lawsuits. This finances that.

like I'm sorry. people on here just ran a week long smear campaign against a disabled woman for rightfully pointing out the flaws in our bipartisan vax and relax strategy re COVID. you're not going to convince me that ppl aren't over here radicalizing themselves too! all while smugly declaring
I'm sorry a billionaire's app isn't going to save you from the other billionaire's app or the other billionaire's app. I like bluesky and appreciate not seeing Nazis in my replies but terfs and braindead liberals constantly mocking my COVID precautions really isn't much better. no one is better than

This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.
Since covid cases are bound to ramp up, reminding everyone not just to mask up, but know that even if you contract covid in spite of the mask, you are for a fact, carrying less of a potent viral load than had you raw dogged it all in. you should tell your friends this fun fact.
Donald Trump has destroyed the economy and started a pointless war. But the wine mom next door still says "Latinx" sometimes. I have never felt more politically homeless.
Yeah wow that's terrible, I'm really torn up about some piece of imperialist materiel. Let's see what Chris has to say about all those schoolgirls the US purposefully vaporized. I'll just take a look and...Ah! Well, nevertheless.
Chris Murphy@chrismurphyct.bsky.social · 7mo agoThere have been some very bad developments today.
SHOULD THE U.S BLOT OUT THE SUN AND USHER IN AN AGE OF ETERNAL DARKNESS? - Gallup 2/20/26-3/5/26 NO - 41% YES - 38% UNSURE - 21%
china is going to send equipment and intelligence to iran so i guess it just is officially just world war 3? lol
Hearing a lot of good things lately like “the economy is crashing” and “world war 3 is happening”
The strikes murdered over one hundred school girls. And you think people will say “thank god, someone is here to liberate us” rather than support whoever counters that horrifying murder?
bluesky people are so strange. I don't follow bigots on there so I don't see them. idk why this is a hard concept. there is no "good" social media company owned by billionaires.

“We are in an undeclared state of war.” After Mike Johnson says the US is not at war, and Donald Trump says it is, Lindsey Graham tells @premthakker.bsky.social a third answer: an “undeclared state of war” — which, he suggests, allows the US to illegally strike ships in international waters.
The “long covid is going away on its own“ myth was started by an influencer named “Health Nerd” who is an Australian epidemiologist who thinks US kids shouldn’t be vaccinated against COVID-19 (cuz AUS/UK don’t) and that NYC should have ran unethical RCTs on hospital visitation in 2020. Not science.

There is no such thing as being addicted to media/communication, just the way music addiction, TV addiction, comic book addiction, telephone addiction, and video game addiction are not addictions, same with social media. Framing social media as an addiction makes it HARDER for ppl to moderate use
The ‘Social Media Addiction’ Narrative May Be More Harmful Than Social Media Itself
