Oh, so we're swimming in sewage, refusing vaccines, and drinking raw milk, but scared of a little radioactive shrimp? C'mon!https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/aug/20/walmart-radioactive-shrimp-recall?CMP=us_bsky&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Bluesky#Echobox=1755695925-1

Do you ever think about how the fine for peeing in public is substantially more than the fine for dumping tonnes of CO₂ in public?

Paul Offit, a RFK Jr. critic who co-invented the rotavirus vaccine that has saved hundreds of thousands of lives, was blocked from participating in the FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee so that RFK Jr. can continue to kill millions of people.https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/09/02/paul-offit-vaccine-fda/?pwapi_token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJyZWFzb24iOiJnaWZ0IiwibmJmIjoxNzU2Nzg1NjAwLCJpc3MiOiJzdWJzY3JpcHRpb25zIiwiZXhwIjoxNzU4MTY3OTk5LCJpYXQiOjE3NTY3ODU2MDAsImp0aSI6IjEzYjlhOTg5LThhMzEtNDcwMi1iMzFkLTgwYzRiMWQzOGUwYiIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lndhc2hpbmd0b25wb3N0LmNvbS9oZWFsdGgvMjAyNS8wOS8wMi9wYXVsLW9mZml0LXZhY2NpbmUtZmRhLyJ9.U_WSNcymR9rDO492aCZ3tgvMc6kRRQsX_LFxhmeJn04

People say I’m blaming the victim when I tell people not to look at their screens while they walk, but you wouldn’t count a stack of $100 bills when you walk either. Phone are super expensive and phone snatching is a real thing.https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/15/world/europe/london-police-phone-theft-china-gang.html?unlocked_article_code=1.tk8.VnLI.SfhLEcZ9M-jZ&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

30+ years ago, my mind was blown when my computer science professor suggested that one day, applications on our computers would be updated by contacting a remote server.I don’t think he ever imagined that companies would also be able to disable applications we’ve already paid for and installed.

“Our analysis shows that in the aftermath of extreme weather events, lower-income neighbourhoods are less likely to rebuild and do not return to their pre-disaster state, whereas higher-income areas rebuild and tend to improve compared with their pre-disaster state, highlighting increasing disparities in their built environments.”https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-09804-3?utm_source=bluesky&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=nature&linkId=22287371

As someone who often conducts fieldwork in remote places, I find it really irritating that many applications now require an internet connection to function.

It’s good to see that not all men are shitty. Two academics, Norman Finkelstein and Joseph Chaney, are in the Epstein files calling out who he is. 💪https://www.thecanary.co/skwawkbox/2026/02/03/finkelstein-epstein/

A 2025 study found that going car-free is the most effective way for individuals to lower their carbon footprint. To reduce car dependency, cities should focus on raising awareness about the benefits of car-free living, supporting compact cities through policy, and investing in public transportation, pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, and shared mobility options.https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2026/02/these-key-strategies-could-help-americans-get-rid-of-their-cars/
