Sheril Kirshenbaum#Science isn’t “facts.” It isn’t “truth.”
It’s a dynamic process in which we’re always testing hypotheses & learning more about our world.

Night Vale OpeningsIf you could press a button that would give you a great deal of money, but it would cause someone you don't know in a distant part of the world to die, then you would have a good model for how our current economy works.
Welcome... to Night Vale.
flexghost.Rape and murder are bad.
The end.
I’m looking at a lot of comments that disturb me
People saying they are against rape and murder one day—but the next day it’s acceptable because it’s against someone they don’t like?
If you have to add “but” or “well ackshually” to condemning violence then you never had any morals at all

“Do I really have to wear a seatbelt for every car trip, no matter how short?”
or
“Do I really have to stop smoking in my own office at work?!?”

No one ever welcomes new rules and practices that keep us safe. They always reject them--until they stop and adopt the sensible rules. #COVID19
your auntifa liza 🇵🇷 🦛 🦦i do not understand why a news site would not have an #RSS feed of their latest headlines.
you don't have to give your content away if you don't want to. but you cannot bitch & moan about #facebook or #twitter cannibalizing your readership in their fascist gated communities when you've turned your back on web standards and the open web.

Laloofah@CarveHerName One of many quotes from her 📗 that keep it (sadly) relevant: “We stand now where two roads diverge. But unlike the roads in Robert Frost's familiar poem, they are not equally fair. The road we have long been traveling is deceptively easy, a smooth superhighway on which we progress with great speed, but at its end lies disaster. The other fork of the road — the one less traveled by — offers our last, our only chance to reach a destination that assures the preservation of the earth.”
Matt GoddenAnyone working in any medical context should be required to wear a #Mask whenever they are in the workplace.
"Until when?” you say?
Until they retire.
Just like spay painters, welders, stone kitchen fitters, medical folks need to wear their PPE whenever they are on the job.
For ever.
Brought to you by the sheer horror of watching nurses cheering at not having to wear masks around patients, as mask-mandates are lifted.
Zane Selvans@simon Yes! It's extremely relevant. @pluralistic had a good essay in this vein last year, in the context of science fiction storytelling, and how technology is frequently doing something both *for* someone and *to* someone:
