93 years ago, Stalin instituted a man-made famine in Ukraine to break its resistance to Soviet occupation, killing millions. Now, Putin’s war and weaponization of hunger once again threaten Ukrainians' survival. We honor the victims of Stalin's famine by supporting Ukraine today.

There was a whole TED plan on Civic information and accèss and epistemological necessity. And they just burned that whole thing
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

I would love to see Kegseth try to spin how the retired Navy Captain, Astronaut, and hero is somehow a military criminal. That Courts Martial needs to be live-streamed just so I can see the expression on the jury's faces. (A jury made up of 8 other officers of similar experience and training.)

Fun Fact: I don't promote Amazon as a sales channel. I only promo my own shop.
Halfway through 2025, my sales dropped off a cliff and have not recovered.
Events and bsky posts reliably led to follow-on sales, right until Boycott Amazon... And I'm not linking to Amazon.

I'm blocking everyone who parrots "they weren't going to buy it anyway" because that used to be the case. Now, it's the Boycott Amazon people, which *everyone* said would happen bc sales dropped like a rock overnight as pirated stuff went up.

I just read an unironic quote from a "free birth influencer" with no medical training that broke me.
"I don't believe in germ theory."
She's telling expectant mothers this. In a country with third-world maternity outcomes.
