COVID Update: Anti-vaxxers on Twitter/Facebook are a whole different breed from people who haven’t been vaccinated IRL. 1/

ok it's time to talk about societal distrust in experts and institutions, the rise of misinformation, cultural polarization, and how to work toward some semblance of mutually agreed upon information before we splinter into irreconcilable realities

(beefy thread incoming)

@MarcusGrayDoor I woke up to lyrics of White Woman’s Instagram running through my head this morning. The whole album has taken a turn at this point haha

Yes, Amazon workers did pay for this - with lower wages, union busting, a frenzied and inhumane workplace, and delivery drivers not having health insurance during a pandemic.

And Amazon customers are paying for it with Amazon abusing their market power to hurt small business.

@GilbyRanger I wasn’t sure if it was my SSRIs or the trazadone I had to take to sleep (I got insomnia it was great 🙄), but yes, I had crazy dreams. Usually trippy horror based and movie-like ones for me though.

Last week I was in a thread where someone wondered about heat, human survivability/habitability, and climate change. I've done some technical work on this specific question, so, quick thread on basics, and what to worry about.

Key term to know: The "wet bulb" temperature.

We’re way past the point of talking about what’s “reasonable.” Power lines are melting in the heat in Portland. Billionaires are paying no taxes and going to space. Buildings and bridges are collapsing. The only reasonable thing to do is change everything.

All of you have seen cave art, right? Either sketches or photos in books or online. If you're really lucky, maybe you've been in a cave yourself with a flashlight or something. But is it possible that the way we look at cave art today hides a key aspect of the art? 🧵

Thread. You're going to hear a lot about how cops need more resources because "crime is surging" in the next few months. It's propaganda, and here's how you can respond:

[Stephen Ford @StephenSeanFord]

A cop flipped over a pregnant woman's car because she didn't pull over quick enough.

Not only is what she did not wrong, it's what you're supposed to do: turning on hazards to indicate you're complying and pulling over at the next safe place to do so...

This man is still a cop.
