"The pre-modern, anti-scientific absurdity of their position was apparent in an age of stage coaches and rotten boroughs. And yet in 2025, after more than two centuries of what seemed like progress, Texas is gripped by its worst measles outbreak this century."

Conspiracists are about to get a dose of reality

"Antivaxers, cranks and fantasists thrive in safe, stable societies but the days of consequence-free idiocy may be ending."

I can not believe that we are back to this again. Is America really going to choose complete lawlessness and decide that the law must bend to the weight of authority? Oh, Donald... 😔

#Bluesky #Xitter #JackDorsey
I think people are just as much running towards peace, sanity, and back to community.

Jack Dorsey says Bluesky's rapid growth is because 'people are running away from X'

He said people are "running away from X, rather than running to something on Bluesky."

#ElonMusk #USAID
"A group of workers at USAID filed a lawsuit making an audacious argument. According to their complaint in Doe v. Musk, billionaire Elon Musk’s appointment to — well, to whatever President Donald Trump has appointed him to within government — violates the Constitution."

The lawsuit seeking to kick Elon Musk out of government, explained

"The lawsuit asks a very simple question: Who appointed Musk, and what, exactly, does he do?"

YouTube TV has once again increased their subscription rate by 14% in spite of the fact that their apps, especially the Roku app, are completely buggy shit. YouTube TV also has lots of unsold advertising space. 🤨

Why Texas Secretly Loves Illegal Immigration

The Border Crisis Won’t Be Solved at the Border

"If Texas officials wanted to stop the arrival of undocumented immigrants, they could try to make it impossible for them to work here. But that would devastate the state’s economy. So instead politicians engage in border theater."
