folks… we are juiceless we have lost the juice how could we lose out to Threads of all places on bullying the Times

Wow. @nytimes.com has closed their Threads account and left the platform after days of getting just shredded in the replies for their handling of Biden post debate. Now they're getting dog piled on Instagram for running from Threads.

In the early Twitter days science types would show up and post when they had a new paper. Wonderful! But real talk y'all: papers take ages to write. So, post about other people's stuff! You read a paper and it was cool! Or you had a question! Or it tied to this other thing! Tag the authors!

Science folks, one thing about bluesky is there's way less 2 way interaction between people, especially on science posts, than there was on old Twitter. I'm not sure why that is, but it's something I'm keen to encourage. I'd love to hear your thoughts 🧪

America is not perfect. Far from it. But there are ideals worth fighting for, values worth pursuing, even when we fall short. Don’t abandon it to the totalitarians. https://www.popehat.com/p/the-fourth-of-july

Apparently the government of the Yucatán recently erected a Poseidon statue on one of their major beaches. It’s a very heavily Mayan area, where people still pray to Chaac, the god of rainfall. They’re now being slammed with 3 hurricanes and significant flooding, leading to memes like this

/6 My grandparents didn’t whine about it. Nor, for that matter, did my college classmate who survived as a child in 1970s Cambodia by hiding in a pile of his neighbor’s bodies. So, keep calm and fight.

In spite of everything, Donald Trump is still facing the worst electoral map of his political career. He is weak. The RNC is weak. He's is facing an incumbent who beat him once already. America is furious about Roe. He could win, but it is so, so far from a forgone conclusion.

i'm getting so, so tired of the doomerism on here, and the press loves covering shit like a horse race instead of explaining fundamentals and what's at play, a job that seems to fall to @golikehellmachine.com on here. so here's a thread about why i'd rather be biden — yes, biden — right now

He's right. They're stealing the country from us and ending democracy. "Bloodless if the left allows it to be" is a threat to kill anyone who fights back

Styles on this are now working! You can pretty much add any Bluesky post's replies as a blog post's comments with one line of code now! www.npmjs.com/package/blue...

N.b., I'm going to go through and replace all the Tailwind styles with simple CSS, I'm pretty sure I messed up injecting them into the shadow dom and there's no obvious way to do it otherwise. Maybe hold off on using that until I can take a better look tomorrow. Source at github.com/aendra-rinin...

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration at all to say the decision threatens the Republic. I might not have said so in 2015, before I saw how triumphantly lawless and autocratic the President could be, and how so many people would applaud it or at least shrug.

My friend and colleague Ken White has written a great thread describing some (but far from all) of the enormous problems with today's decision by Chief Justice Roberts granting Donald Trump criminal immunity on grounds never before accepted by any court. Today's decision threatens the Republic.

Where is serious trouble please I need it Ken please Ken

Forget the imperial presidency. John Roberts wants an imperial SCOTUS.www.lawdork.com Justice Kagan lays it out: "The majority disdains restraint, and grasps for power."
