@rsg Lotta people have been writing on this for years and suggesting alternatives. What you fund can drive change here.
State abortion laws are often vague about what constitutes a medical emergency, meaning doctors, hospitals, and clinics risk being second-guessed by prosecutors. https://www.statnews.com/2022/07/05/a-scary-time-fear-of-prosecution-forces-doctors-to-choose-between-protecting-themselves-or-their-patients/
@oneunderscore__ this is not my area but it does seem like accelerationism's appeal to different subgroups/parties isn't particularly well-covered or well-understood?
@mmasnick Interest from audiences seeing it as yet another f-you to a company sucked into the culture wars?
@acroll Yes.
"I guess he was reloading. So I kept running and ran into an alley and put my son in a garbage dumpster so he could be safe," he said.
Officials have identified a 22-year-old man as a suspect in the July Fourth parade shooting in Highland Park. He is from the area and is considered armed and dangerous.

@espiers i own those in silver. they have come a long way and use some kind of flexible jelly now...

A very important message from Lizzo:
@vgr This has been a gripe since Jurassic Park 1 in the 90s. “Deinonychus” lost out to the cooler name.
@DrPanMD @SSVMS @CMAdocs Those 17 doctors got a plaque already! There is nothing more we can do to honor their sacrifice…
@pt I can’t believe people are taking this seriously. That guy is not going to win a national election. How did this become a theme of the day?
@vgr You’ve done some phenomenal work there and built a really valuable community.
Wonder if we've hit the point where this content farm garbage is just written by some GPT-3-esque generator and the owners don't even bother to check for accuracy before sending it live...
Mocking humble-bragging as engagement bait...
@Klonick Those hydrangeas. My favorite. 😻
@CindyOtis_ Hope all is well…
@loobah_l No 🙂 I’ve still never actually been. Got a trip planned for this fall. Was supposed to go in Jan but Covid spiked and I couldn’t justify it with the kids.
@femmebot Yeah that makes sense. They seem to grow a bunch of Brazilian varietals - jaboticaba is on there sometimes but I’ve never bought it.
@danielmintz I’ve seen it but never tried it. It looks really cool.
@DavidCMurphy Status avocados. 💸
Sprouted coconut. Be careful, the Instagram account will really suck you in. People in Miami are very lucky that all this amazing stuff just grows there. 🌴
Here goes the yuppiest thing I’ve ever tweeted. A few weeks back I saw a pic of a sprouted coconut - basically what happens when the 🥥 is becoming a 🌴. It was described as “cake inside a coconut”. I ❤️🥥 & 🍰 and really wanted to try this. Found out they sell ‘em in Miami so...
Black Sapote (chocolate pudding fruit, which tbh does not taste like pudding but has the right texture)
So I follow this exotic fruit account on Instagram and one day it shared a picture of a thing called a “chocolate pudding fruit” - a black sapote. Which I wanted immediately. Example photos make clear why...
@dan_munz Oh man I order a couple times a year. It’s amazing. So many exotic random things.
Today in “exotic things I’ve bought from Miami Fruit”: long-neck 🥑. I couldn’t order these in CA & always wanted to try them. Now they’re in season so I got a box.
It’s significantly larger than a normal avocado (added for scale). Big pit. Very “juicy” not creamy. Good but odd.
@Verba_et_Vertus @sivavaid This seems like the most realistic explanation
This is NOT happening. Chip Franklin is a comedian. He was telling a joke that is all too plausible right now. https://twitter.com/chipfranklin/status/1542911673094356992
@Verba_et_Vertus @sivavaid Also unsuccessful
@holden The propaganda lit is like this too. “Media literacy” tips for rhetorical and trope analysis developed in the 1930s. 🙂 This is why I’m increasingly convinced attention to design and emergent behavior from networks is where the really impactful potential is in the current system.
@LaurelRosenhall 💪💪💪
@rosssciarrillo @ArmandDoma @IDoTheThinking I mean sure if your liquor store has vegetables and pet food.
@ArmandDoma @IDoTheThinking ALSO they have cats. My cat was a bodega cat. 🙂 They are one of the best parts of NYC culture. https://instagram.com/bodegacatsofinstagram?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
@ArmandDoma @IDoTheThinking Per the point about the rest of the world having them in addition to NYC but them being absent from many other America cities: yeah exactly. NYC is far more livable for a no-car walkable existence than virtually anywhere else in America.
@ArmandDoma @IDoTheThinking Only a few neighborhoods in SF seemed to have them. In NYC they’re everywhere and are often open 24 hours. They carry a lot more stuff; mine in the E Village had fresh foods & flowers in addition to the boxed/canned goods.
@RSButner But this is the age of influencer politicians pushing meme policies, and tweeting about being hard on Big Tech is more important than actually passing any legislation.
@RSButner This is why PATA and transparency bills matter. Unfortunately they aren’t as provocative as “stick it to the companies!” legislation that will not pass Congress now or in the foreseeable future.
How design + incentives influence counter-speech, TikTok edition:
TikTok's duet/stitch option has interesting applications for debunking...but harassment, lack of institutional support, time-consuming "second job" make🧑⚕️question value of participating.

The unexpected ending is almost as strong as that disabled parking space commercial…
this should win an oscar for “best picture”
@davekarpf @JamesGleick Like yeah I guess you can buy a nicer missile silo compound shelter but what kind of quality of life are your great-grandkids going to have?
@davekarpf @JamesGleick Are they though? This seems incredibly short-sighted.
@IDoTheThinking @Noahpinion Also Pete Buttigieg. Also on huge podcasts like Rogan. There is no reason not to counter-speak.
Interesting influence campaign attributed to a pro-PRC persistent threat group masquerading as concerned citizens upset ab rare earths mining activities. Reminded me of some early Russia-linked accts related to undermining public support for fracking.

There are 13 states with abortion bans on the books designed to target AAPI people by weaponizing harmful stereotypes. As we’ve already seen rising anti-Asian discrimination, this particular abortion barrier will hurt our communities even more. https://asamnews.com/2022/06/24/asian-american-and-other-women-of-color-adversely-impacted-by-overturning-of-roe-v-wade/
Starting July 1, SB 395 (2021) imposes a 12.5% tax on e-cigarettes to reduce their use and generate revenue for important health care workforce initiatives, like #CalHealthCares loan repayment program. https://www.cmadocs.org/newsroom/news/view/ArticleId/49804/CMA-sponsored-excise-tax-on-e-cigarettes-takes-effect-July-1
@geoffbelknap @WilliamTurton @JohnHultquist Assuming everyone in thread already knows about the 💩 controversy… this is just a run-of-the-mill identity transference situation
@JohnHultquist This guy played Blippi on the live show world tour and then kind of became the video guy too. Ppl in the mom group call him “Blurpi”. The kids don’t seem to notice?
