A jumped-up egg. I can neither confirm nor deny that I am the Queen of the May.

Be weird, as appropriate.

@constans IIRC, back in the day, when a doctor wanted to enter general practice it was taken for granted that he would have to find a wife first. Who else would keep the books and manage the appointments?

@jasminewsun @pmarca Will you cross post this to bsky?

@Austen What do you think people like Stephen Miller mean when they say “DEI”?

OK that’s not DEI though.

I think we can all agree that testing medicine on different genetic profiles is not what literally anyone means when they say DEI.

@LauraLoomer You joined a movement led by a man who was always openly hungry to be bought, and now you’re unhappy that someone has bought him? Come, now.

@Rebel44CZ @volchonokk_1 (Which tbf is partly why they’re trying to save a bit of money in Europe, no doubt.)

[M.B. Drapier @MB_Drapier]

@Rebel44CZ @volchonokk_1 It seems the US might indeed need to increase its own spending, though, if it wants to prevent the US Navy from crumbling or at least from falling behind the PLA Navy.

@TwisterFilm Do you know about John Hein’s other, non-sexual activities? https://t.co/3l7cQsoVid

[M.B. Drapier @MB_Drapier]

@RobertG51985119 @wundt_vil Would that happen to be the same John Hein who owned 78 Montgomery St. in Edinburgh? https://t.co/RwufZyJQYU AFAIK it could be someone else, but the reported age does seem to match as well.

@benryanwriter (The user did take those posts down soon after I shared them, however. He evidently has been watching Singal’s Twitter feed.)

[M.B. Drapier @MB_Drapier]

@benryanwriter Bluesky seems to have done a round of post deletions with limited additional consequences. As you might expect, this did not seem to have a strong deterrent effect:

@jessesingal ... though the user account remains active, and the user is quite clear about intending to continue violating the terms and conditions: https://t.co/UhmSyknPWp

@jessesingal It's also tbh a bit much to start bemoaning the ideological redlines on Bsky now. By inviting a big fight then running away halfway though—when you'd already mostly won!—you've probably now done more than any other individual to make them a concrete reality ...

[M.B. Drapier @MB_Drapier]

@jessesingal Has Caraballo, in general, been significantly more careful here than on Bsky? Really?

@jessesingal It has apparently been taken down by mods now https://t.co/UhmSyknPWp ...

@davidshor @jonathanchait @jessesingal And if the situation doesn’t improve in a number of weeks then it *will* increasingly look like Bluesky policy, or at least a policy of neglect.

[M.B. Drapier @MB_Drapier]

@davidshor @jonathanchait @jessesingal No dispute from me there.

@PaulOdaQuee @neilorpen @GeorgeAylett That was his parents’ house rather than his?

@nils_gilman @GrapefruitCorey Reagan also claimed to be an FDR fan who wanted to abolish the Great Society, not the New Deal https://t.co/R7mBa6yzKq .

@jonathanchait @davidshor @jessesingal (I do also have to point out that this important context was not difficult to find, and I'm not a credentialled adult in the room or someone who is directly affected.)

[M.B. Drapier @MB_Drapier]

@jonathanchait @davidshor @jessesingal Right now the parsimonious explanation is surely "moderation is currently a grease fire due to radical understaffing https://t.co/RSU2Nvd42n (quadrupling *to* 100 mods covering 25M accounts!) and the resulting backlog of CSAM https://t.co/jVkD3V6X6H".
