.Governor Kevin Stitt Please spare the life of #JuliusJones, given the serious questions about his guilt. It would be a tragedy to execute an innocent person. oklahoman.com/story/opinion/…

Does false news spread differently than true news online? For example, does false news spread faster or deeper into the Twitter network? How about videos vs. petitions? New paper out in @PNASnews with Johan Ugander pnas.org/content/118/46… 1/14

New Course by Vimarsha Foundation and Tantraacharya Sthaneshwar Timalsina on the divine Devi Maahaatmya. This is a pivotal text in the worship and knowledge of the Supreme Goddess. I'd recommend anyone interested in the divine feminine and spirituality to sign up and join the course.

More good news on sars-2 vaccines: they appear to prevent long covid (we've been waiting for answers to this question). A propensity matched cohort from the UK found that 2+ doses of vaccine decreased adjusted long covid risk by 41% (95% CI 31%-50%).

I see some folks starting to use the “TESCREAL” acronym. So, here’s a short thread on what it stands for and why it’s important. 🧵

I have posted this before but .. 26 years ago, a gunman entered Dunblane Primary School in Scotland, killing 16 kids and a teacher. The UK govt responded by enacting tight gun control legislation. In the 9400+ days since, there have been a total of O school shootings in the UK.

Here’s the Chest X-Ray of a young girl suffering from a condition that is now the #1 cause of death in children and adolescents in the U.S. What’s the diagnosis?

I have not been this angry in a long fucking time. They were NINE YEARS OLD AND TEACHERS HAD TO DIE PROTECTING THEIR KIDS. BECAUSE OF REPUBLICAN COWARDS and NRA PUPPETS LIKE SENATOR BLACKBURN. If you aren’t livid you aren’t paying attention.

This is Justin Jones. Tennessee Republicans just voted to expel him from the House because he protested against gun violence. Young people are watching. The world is watching. Republicans are going to regret this and pay the consequences. We stand with you, Rep. Jones.

Just caught this incredible talk by @timnitGebru (@dair-community.social/bsky.social) on eugenics, "AGI," and the TESCREAL ideologies. I'm so glad this exists; I'm getting tired of explaining it myself, and this is an amazing talk to easily send to people that does a fantastic job youtu.be/P7XT4TWLzJw

Gun laws don’t work? Why hasn’t Australia had a school shooting since 2012? How about the UK which was 1996? Last I checked they don’t have armed teachers in every school or allow guns on campus. Pretty sure they also have bad guys and doors and mentally ill people too.
