Historical Marker Ahead@historicalmarker.bsky.social · 2d agoWe’ve always had MAHA & Fauci threatened with jail. At the International Museum of Surgical Science I saw responses to breakthroughs like: -Miguel Servetus burned alive for writing how blood flows from the heart to the lungs -Ignaz Semmelweis dying an outcast in an asylum for pushing hand-washing
the real problem with woke 1.0 was that this sort of person survived it intact enough to be able to complain about it now. this is a bug that woke 2.0 must, and will, fix

Everyone is in favour of banning allgambling ads and removing all inducements except the gambling industry and the lazy clubs that rely on people’s suffering - and the pollies in their pockets. The opt out stuff is fluff #GamblingReform #AusPol

Important: Trump’s executive order is NOT legislation. Though the executive order promotes more misinformation about vaccines, nothing has changed about the availability of childhood vaccines. For evidence-based guidance, please follow and share American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations.

Third Way — which has declared "war" on progressives — is a Trojan Horse for corporate America. Their funding sources are a Star Wars cantina of billionaire megadonors, Fortune 500 CEOs, giant corporations, and corporate dark money bundlers.

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.
If Australia were progressing on electrification, we would be seeing massive yearly adjustments to projections of future demand. Instead we are seeing massive yearly adjustments to projections of **DATA CENTRE** demand instead 🫠 🫠 🫠 www.aemo.com.au/consultation...
Yea, one side is a treasonous fraudster rapist felon and his rent a spouse who clearly hates him and the other side are two intelligent accomplished medical professionals who are in a loving happy marriage.
As the pioneering cybernetician Stafford Beer famously wrote, "the purpose of a system is what it does." If your bureaucracy is more concerned with fighting fraud than delivering service, then it isn't a service delivery system at all - it's a service *denial* system. 32/

Ttreaties with the USA aren't worth the paper they're printed on. There is no one case in history where the US abided by a treaty once they started to find it inconvenient (ask America's first nations for examples)
"I don’t do politics." Cool. Your landlord does. Your employer does. Banks do. Mining companies do. Property developers do. Billionaires definitely fucking do. Maybe there’s a reason for that. #auspol
Marles doesn’t care, he’s given HMAS Stirling the Indian Ocean home for Virginia Class, and he doesn’t care if Australia ever owns any or builds any AUKUS subs out of Adelaide.

Ali C@alic.bsky.social · 2d agoSadly, family consent has dropped in recent years, *even when* the person has opted in by registering. It's so vital to think about these things while everyone is well, not at the worst possible time. It can give loved ones confidence and comfort in the long run. ❤️ #YesIDonate #nhsbt
New in PN: Trump can’t lie his way out of a missile shortage "Unlike Republican voters and senators, adversaries like Russia, Iran, & China are not especially dazzled by Trump’s oozing narcissistic wounds. His priority is his ego first with national security coming in a very, very distant second."

That's a weird label for a bottle of Bucky (For those who don't know, Buckfast is blackcurrant wine that's 14.8% alcohol and has 90mg of caffeine per 5oz. This bottle is the size of a can of Coke and has 210mg of caffeine compared to 32mg in a can of Coke plus the alcohol of 4 glasses of wine)
