Think you might have COVID? Wait 2 days to test. "For COVID, we found that if you only have one test, it's best to wait two days after symptoms arise to use it, because the virus is unlikely to be detectable until then," Published study: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

They charged this Emory professor with battery for asking an officer “what are you doing?” when they were brutalizing a student protester. Just viciously threw her on the ground and then charged *her* with a crime.

Some Feeds that I highly recommend for discovery of interesting people & topics: * For You - a quasi Twitteresque algo * Discover - dunno how this one works, but it's good * Followers - Posts by your followers * #AusPol - Serves the same purpose as the Twatter hashtag, but much saner, & Nazi-free

Re item #1 you can make Bluesky more interesting by following lots more people. Unlike Twitter, Bsky doesn't just shove people (mostly Nazis) in your face; you have to go looking for interesting people to follow. Check your Feeds options, & pick a few that sound like they might be interesting!

The amusing reality here is that nuclear power is expensive, complicated, requires strong carbon pricing and long-term planning from governments and real environmental and social protections to work. *That* is why it doesn't get built: corporations don't like it. And these dudes can blame ideology

So depressing to see climate-tech people I once liked / respected joining the pile-on, on X, while community notes slaps disinformation and lies as if they're fact-checks underneath This vile site needs to die: ASA-fucking-P iea.blob.core.windows.net/assets/aa21a... www.iea.org/data-and-sta...

TikTok hysteria notwithstanding, the heads of the CIA, FBI and Intel community are careful to note that any threat to national security is purely hypothetical. There's no evidence that TikTok has ever coordinated with the Chinese government. theintercept.com/2024/03/16/t...

Lasagne is one of the great joys in this world. Making it is comforting, sharing it is comforting, people should consider making and sharing lasagne instead of attending religious services.

Our government is going to spend a heap of money on surface ships for future conflicts. Let's hope our adversaries haven't heard of drones. #auspol
