Things that have come back since Trump took office: Measles Whooping cough Screw Worm Black Lung Pretty sure it’s 1826 in America…
Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 15h agoThe black lung rate in Appalachia is now as high as it was in the 1970s. Remember: Trump indefinitely stalled a rule that would limit miners’ exposure to dangerous silica dust, which causes black lung. Trump doesn’t care about miners’ health. He never has and he never will.
I am still sick, still a bit wiped from yesterday so we shall see how productive today is as a work day. I don't have high expectations.
Christ what a long day. MIL is clearly in her final days, but not close to it as we thought...considering "she" has been gone for years, we're hoping for her sake it's quick. She never wanted this and it came for her anyway. Hug your Moms.
In St.Andrews for less than awesome reasons, but the crowds of people have been sweet and friendly, which I did not expect. It's the little things.
It’s incredible and awful that DEI evolved to help workplaces reduce the biases preventing them from hiring and promoting great people of any race, gender or ability and white guys saw that as *a direct attack upon them* and fired vast numbers of Black women, among others, and now they say this 🫤

This reads like a headline you’d see in a disaster movie for flavor before the real shit goes down
This A.I. Just Created Viruses Not Found in Nature (Gift Article)
Scientists trained artificial intelligence on libraries of DNA and then asked the model to create recipes for viral genomes. Sixteen of them were viable, yielding new viruses.

Absolute piece of shit this little boy is.
Abby Vesoulis@abbyvesoulis.bsky.social · yesterdayNEW: Regarding the claims that Rep. Max Miller withheld his toddler's "blue bunny," I have some new screenshots suggesting there was a pattern of Miller not giving the bunny back. There were pleas from multiple people on multiple dates. (Thread: 1/8)
Steve Kornacki had to think fast when water spilled on his desk during live primary night coverage on the Kornacki Cam.
Looks around. Snerk. Go get a new couch buddy.

There is a player on the LA Queens, Brittany Apgar, who has a limb difference and traveled back to Illinois from receiving her first ever batting prosthetic *today* and is 3-for-3 in her first game playing with one. Incredibly cool.

PM Mark Carney takes a tiny jab at the madman in the WH 🤭🤣
Cancer treatments. My mother may have lived if she was diagnosed even 10 years after her death.
Revan@revan.eurosky.social · 2d agoSo this is basically one of the entry points to becoming a reactionary
A bunch of terrified, sniffling little boys.
Bradley P. Moss@bradmossesq.bsky.social · 2d agoThey are truly scared of all Muslims. Like, deathly afraid.
"Get a mood lamp" - in response to me crying on the phone about suicidal ideation that was ramping up. A fucking mood lamp.
Heather Hill@rollin-academic.bsky.social · 2d agoA question from Reddit that I'll answer here: "What's the most unhinged thing a doctor has said to you with a straight face?"
El-Sayed to Rogers: "I'm going to put a figurative tattoo on your forehead. And every time people see your face, they're going to say 'corporatist shill, opioid-epidemic starter.'" Damn.
Nathan Kalman-Lamb@nkalamb.bsky.social · 2d agoI don't think I can remember a US politician with better messaging than this man. Ever. And that includes Mamdani. Run him for President.
I honestly don't see how this Iran shit ends without dinglefuck dropping a nuke.
Mark Chadbourn@chadbourn.bsky.social · 2d agoThe Trump administration is drafting a new nukes strategy which emphasises the possible use of tactical nuclear weapons in a regional conflict with China or Russia.
The worst part about this cold is that I sound like a 13 year old boy hitting puberty who ate a squeaky toy.
i should add- breaking the collarbone of a baby who is the granddaughter of a REPUBLICAN US SENATOR is not a bridge too far for republicans. max miller is the villain in this story but bernie moreno looks like a feckless loser, allowing his party to carry on this way. what a pathetic bunch.
Oh and I forgot the other absolutely real one: litter. Anybody who doesn't remember the 80s has no idea how much trash was *everywhere*!
Constantine@ajaxsinger.bsky.social · 2d agoFood, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.
