Bluesky is a "liberal bubble" because fascist chuds can't get traction without algorithmic assistance and because people here trained themselves to block "debate me" trybois the instant they roll up

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

In RFK Jr's attack on #Fauci, he lied about COVID deaths, he lied about vaccines, he lied about ICUs, he lied about "censoring", etc Reality: 👉 MAGA #misinformation – especially about vaccines – killed people 👉 It is MAGA dismantling "our constitutional rights" www.poynter.org/commentary/2...

Dana Bash did her job — and RFK Jr. didn’t handle it well - Poynter

The health secretary turned a discussion about COVID and vaccines into a combative back-and-forth while Bash kept asking the questions that mattered

Let’s unpack this post by NIH and CDC Director and self-made victim Jay Bhattacharya. 1. This was not misreporting. This is what RFK Jr. said in his interview. 2. Free speech was not “suspended”. If it had been no one would know who Bhattacharya is.

Screenshot of Bhattacharya’s Twitter post that says This misreporting by @politico gets to the heart of the covid response disaster. If governments had not suspended free speech, and the media not abetted devastating takedowns of scientists for the crime of contradicting government scientists, so much harm could have been avoided.

'Scientists have documented the growing health risks of wildfire smoke...smoke affects not only children’s respiratory health but also their learning, mental well-being, and opportunities for play, warning that repeated smoke exposure can shape childhood in lasting ways.'

How wildfire smoke is reshaping childhood

Smoky summers are becoming the new normal across the American West, forcing a generation of children to grow up indoors.

Hvor er #dkpol i hyldest af den danske pilot, der døde, mens han kæmpede med andre europæere imod brandene i Grækenland. Det ville selvfølgelig også være hyklerisk at tale om europæisk solidaritet og vigtigheden af samarbejde, når man lige har kritiseret Spanien. www.bbc.com/news/article...

And covid was not harmless to children. Being at lower risk than adults does not mean harmless. There was acute illness needing hospital, late onset rare but serious inflammatory disease, Long Covid and 13,000 UK children who lost a parent. (more details in substack post at end) 8/12
