The media relentlessly promotes the narrative that progressives are too mean to anti-vaxxers and we must bring them around with compassion. This isn't true and isn't helping. The more public sympathy you show them, the more empowered they are in their beliefs. www.statnews.com/2026/08/19/s...

I'm sorry but I looked at Hinge for the first time in weeks and people get recommendations on there now?? I think I'd rather be celibate than ask my friends to write recs for me on a dating app

The problem with Woke 1 was its lack of proportionality. That's why everyone who tweeted about how racism is bad should be sent to the Hague. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/18/o...

Hate when I get a stomachache these days because I have to wonder is it because I’m stupid and ran on the treadmill too soon after wolfing down dinner or is it because I’ve unwittingly stumbled onto the next recall thanks to Secretary beef tallow firing all the food safety experts

FOX NEWS: If you're a young person and you're disenchanted, you can't afford a home, you're having trouble with healthcare & you feel failed by the economy, what is the Republican alternative? MIKE JOHNSON: Well, the answer is not to turn everything over to the government, because that never works

Portland is one of those cities where the public transit isn't amazing but definitely usable to the point where if I meet someone who NEVER takes it I have to raise my eyebrows a bit

Trump is a buffoon but RFK got exactly what he wanted here. The data are pretty clear that if you spread the vaccine appointments out then parents don’t come back for them. They don’t want kids to get the vaccines.

Julian Sanchez@normative.bsky.social · last wk.

Yes, let’s burden both new parents and pediatricians with FIVE doctor visits instead of one for absolutely no legitimate medical reason. A masterstroke, sir.

Suggesting vaccines that can be safely administered in one appointment be broken up into multiple appointments, in a country that does not have universal health care, is just a backhanded way to reduce vaccine uptake without explicitly saying that. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Trump demands major changes to childhood vaccine recommendations

The president signed an order advising states to revise their rules. He also called for narrowing which vaccines are administered to children and splitting shots into multiple appointments.

on that other site there's a tweet going around on options for unvaxxed blood registries, yeah man when you're actively bleeding out you should definitely tell the doctor to consult a weird website of unscreened randoms when they say you need a transfusion, let me know how it goes

imagine trying to get seatbelt laws passed today, these people would froth at the mouth over it

Millennials, who never lived through an era in which there was widespread socialism, are soon going to find out about the heavy-handed socialism of the politician they worship.

people will point to European countries when they want to do anti-vax nonsense and fearmonger about food dyes and then scream when you suggest looking at them for universal healthcare

i personally think polymarket and all companies like it should be regulated out of existence and their assets seized by the state

Test drove a 2025 Camry today and asked for the Carfax and saw there is LITERALLY AN ACTIVE RECALL on them because of a SOFTWARE malfunction that impacts things like the turn signals

This sucks ass. When I start my car I want to be able to put my foot on the pedal and drive off. I dont want to watch an ad. A distracting ad. Right in the middle of my console. Again. This sucks ass.

Naturally I have gotten COVID just in time for the wildfire smoke to blow near Portland, ideal time to get a respiratory infection, at least masks will be back in fashion

Not only did they absolutely beg for this, they made it so that “merit” was synonymous with being white so now you’re stuck with precisely the kind of moron who believes that. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Bernie Moreno is asking Dr. Fauci "who do you think you were" while being completely silent on his daughter being abused by his son-in-law

Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 3w ago

The best part of this rant was millionaire Bernie Moreno telling the world that he was so infuriated sitting on his couch in 2020 watching Anthony Fauci save people's lives that he had no choice but to sell off all his many car dealerships and run for the Senate. #Hero #Saint #Self-Sacrifice

(from May 2025) Ryan Grim shows a clip of Jeffrey Sachs saying that COVID-19 actually came from the University of North Carolina. Ryan Grim calls it "a plausible claim," links UNC's Ralph Baric to Wuhan, and says UNC being involved in COVID is why there wasn't an investigation.

feeling like there's basically no guy who tells girlfriend "you're too mistrustful of the establishment". but i could see breaking up with someone over them being a feral conspiracy freak and there are a lot of batshit ones about fauci

Nike posted their Skims workout gear and it got reamed in the comments so bad they turned them off 💀 Because who on earth thinks this looks comfortable to work out in?

Need a line of office apparel for women who are always cold. I don’t mean like nice sweaters. I mean like a dress shirt that’s also warm so I am not as conspicuously freezing in the middle of summer every day

It's safe to assume that all major LLMs are scraping Bluesky data to train future models. As an open protocol, Bluesky is one of the few sources of fresh human-generated content that anybody can gobble up. So all this is probably going in the models. There are submarines in the Great Lakes.
