Apparently with BlueSky, the TOS is all kinds of bad.

First, it gives Jack Dorsey a “perpetual and irrevocable” license to all your content.

Also Blue sky can delete your account for any reason, and may refuse to delete it if you ask (might violate GDPR in the EU)

Also, you can’t screenshot BlueSky and all disputes equals individual arbitration.

You might wonder, why #BlueSky over the Fediverse. Just join the Fediverse, you own your content.

Dark Brandon rising.

NYT’s opinion writer Paul Krugman is declaring #climate is now a culture war issue 🤔

I worked in the U.S. Senate ~20 years ago. Covered climate as a journalist. Cofounded an NGO focused on science policy issues during elections. Am finishing a dissertation on how Congress has made decisions about #science policy for the last 1/2 century - with climate as a central theme.

This isn’t new. #ClimateChange has *always* been a culture war issue.

In the last 6 days the NY Times has run 4 articles about e-bikes -- all of them negative.

🔹 Compared to autos, e-bikes pose minimal risk to other people
🔹 Unlike cars, e-bikes provide exercise

i shared this on the other site but wanted to share it here too:

so many people will have their stories of Sinéad O'Connor but I will never forget how she reached out to me after I was experiencing awful racism on that other platform. i will never forget such a simple act of kindness. she was a kind soul.

she was fierce too and the true definition of inspirational.

I see the media are continuing the age-old trend of keeping it pale, male, stale in interivews for coverage on climate change, heat waves, storms, etc. How about interviewing a wider array of experts & those actually from the Global South experiencing climate breakdown first-hand?

Here’s a database to help move past this colonial practice to solicit expertise from a wide array of experts:
