Tonight is not the night to expect me to be magnanimous about Biden. My daughter, who is battling a horrific disabling condition, has Covid, and our president just went out in public maskless when he knew he was shedding virus. I've got no grace for him tonight. Fuck him.

The President of the United States has COVID. He has access to far-UVC, filtered air & dozens of other preventatives to avoid infection that are completely out of reach to the general public. But he doesn't mask. As long as COVID exists, we're ALL signing up for endless infections unless we mask up.

Watching Biden take the stage in Wisconsin and that dude is definitely getting covid before summer is done.

Biden walking around unmasked, surrounded by people, on national television, when he just tested positive for Covid is so fucking infuriating. PUT A FUCKING MASK ON.

When the Senate Majority Leader times the leak that he told you to drop out four days ago to drop immediately after you announce you have Covid, that's a pretty good sign that the gloves are finally coming off.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul and NYC Mayor Eric Adams are bragging about crime being down on the subway, yet are also trying to justify crime as a reason to push through a subway mask ban. Ridiculous.

This is an enormous scandal and reason for all academics to withhold labor from Taylor and Francis/Routledge

So, Republicans are draining more than just the swamp.

Hi, I'm a disabled trans woman in the UK. I'm applying for PIP due to long COVID exacerbating existing symptoms. I'm a freelance journalist, but work has been hard to find even when I can do it. I'm asking for mutual aid to help with living expenses. Thank you. 💞💸 www.paypal.com/paypalme/n7l...

The CDC can continue to go fuck itself. Eugenics ass monsters.
Ye gods: “The CDC has controversially decided not to offer at-risk groups bird flu vaccines… the agency is not recommending a vaccine campaign at this point for several reasons, even though millions of doses are available.”

A lot of people are choosing to look away right now in the face of something that is making Doctors Without Borders say things like this

I feel like all the trans people on this site can unite, at last, over not wanting the question of transphobia to be adjudicated by Dave "every girl is either bisexual or bipolar" Weigel
Remembering why I've enjoyed BlueSky so far - kind of a reboot, place to have fun conversations without the weight of politics/breaking news etc. But there are some rotten, mean, and dull people on this site, and I do wish they'd confront their own mental health issues before posting.

If you're wondering why Bluesky uses "AI" as part of its content moderation, this thread is a useful one.
Image classifiers detect the worst content that needs to be gone (and humans then review the content given the labels in the most severe categories to see the context it was posted in and whether it needs to be removed entirely). But they also can't tell context.

Farmers are getting infected with bird flu because they are working in 104 degree heat without masks and other PPE. The is why labor justice must be a key part of the solution for both climate change and pandemics.
