@georgetakei I dunno, lying about what time he got up is the most relatable thing any politician will do today.

@tzudad @dgar there are regulations now on the dumping of toxic waste

@br00t4c the balance of the audience is irrelevant, when the algorithm is promoting Nazis.

@mekkaokereke there’s plenty of spoiled milk in the marketplace of ideas. None of us are obligated to drink it, and pulling it off the shelves is good for everyone.

@kaia @HistoPol @VeroniqueB99 trumps first presidency killed a lot more than 3,000. A four year delay to climate action will probably kill around a hundred million worldwide.

@lalah @jeffowski this assumes that a hungry person stealing food is a bad or immoral act.

@bmacDonald94 that’s a Pseudotsuga menziesii, not a Pinus edulis.

@bmacDonald94 alt text has incorrect identification

@bart @jeffowski unless it’s reducing labor costs how can there ever be an economic case for it?

@Lana you just inspired me to dig a pit oven and roast a whole pumpkin.

@JoshuaHolland my “we are not hostages” video has a lot of people asking questions already answered by my “we are not hostages” video.

@MissingThePt JD Vance is struggling to deal with persistent couch-fucking rumors. Will they chaise him until the election, or will they fold away in another week?

@freemo @theothersimo @JuliusGoat feel free to support your own point.

@freemo @theothersimo @JuliusGoat the opponents to mandatory vaccination have a ~99% overlap with opponents of other public health measures, that’s how I know that for that subset it’s not really about bodily autonomy and is in fact about oppositional/defiant rejection of any sacrifice for the common good.

@freemo @theothersimo @JuliusGoat I have no idea of your personal beliefs, but anyone who supports drug tests for welfare recipients does not actually believe in bodily autonomy.

@freemo @theothersimo @JuliusGoat a vaccine that’s not mandatory is of little or no value. A total waste of resources to develop a vaccine that’s not deployed systematically. Smallpox was eradicated because police literally held people down and forced the needle into their arms.
Please cite your source for “very large proportion,” I suspect it is a distant third behind “unconditionally pro vax” and “unconditionally antivax.” If not humanity might be doomed.

@freemo @theothersimo @JuliusGoat people saw this new Supreme Court as an opportunity to roll back centuries of precedents in favor of public health and mandatory vaccination, and they got their wish. These same people give zero shits about the bodily autonomy of women, post-partum children, homeless people, or workers. They just want to break all functions of government except those that kill people and break things. They oppose all public health measures not just vaccination programs.

@freemo @theothersimo @JuliusGoat if you’re not part of the 99% of opponents of systemic vaccination who want to sabotage and destroy society’s ability to respond to emergencies like Covid and climate change, don’t take offense when I call out the other 99%.

@freemo @pinkdrunkenelephants @tessarakt @JuliusGoat it’s not nuance, you’re just wrong.

@freemo @JuliusGoat but that’s a lie. Antivaxers care about bodily autonomy the same way racists care about “reverse discrimination” or conservatives care about “free speech,” they’re just wrapping their agenda in the language of their enemies.
