kimatiwagner.bsky.socialAtrocity fact of the day: At the memorial for the My Lai Massacre, the site of the mass-shooting in the ditch that was carried out by Calley and Meadlo (and others) is off by approx 50 meters. The actual site is just outside the memorial and the ditch itself has long since been covered up.
This is very much my opinion - at this point in history if you are still doing the NormieLibs Won't Show Up routine then you are either not updating on the last decade of political action _or_ you are just so misogynist that you are unable to recognise the plain evidence of your senses.
I almost begrudgingly praised Springer for implementing an actually good formatting feature in their journals, but then upon investigation they've gone about it in a stupid and half-hearted way so my opinion of private publishing houses in academia in fact remains unchanged.
Alan Lester
alanlester.bsky.socialA story that perfectly illustrates the gulf that’s opened up between a government intent on governing and an opposition intent on never-ending, propaganda-driven, futile divisiveness. Tories know full well that N Sea oil & gas are sold on international markets & that green transition is imperative.

drsurekhadavies.bsky.social' "They sort of told us that it's because the stock price is down," the engineer said.' Companies like this should be dismantled & their senior execs handed life sentences with no parole. If the UN or the EU built and managed a platform as a public utility that would be the moderate position.

But i am burning with jealousy at the people in my life who achieve life things i so desperately want too and even the ones who are sick but actually get medial care

Dr. Damien P. Williams can't think of a fun display name right n
wolvendamien.bsky.socialDid either of the other Sicario movies recapture the first one's genuinely oppressive, anxious, harrowing dread & its complete unflinching indictment of the damage done by the US drug war's militaristic adventurism, or were they both as bang-bang, kerpew-kerpew, *explosion noise* as their trailers?

scottsantens.com"A total of 40 people received CZK 100,000 with no conditions, another 20 were assigned a dedicated social worker, and the remaining 40 received standard social services... The idea that they would spend everything immediately was not confirmed. “People spent the most on food, housing and clothing."

katherineschof8.bsky.socialA few years ago I entered my university office after the Easter break to discover a pigeon had flown in the accidentally open window, made a nest on the floor and was sitting on an egg. It’s a criminal offence to disturb a nesting bird so we had to get a specialist from Natural England to move her!

disabilitystor1.bsky.socialI’m trying to focus on the good in my life and today my students were not only delightful in my classrooms despite my having to shift to remote unexpectedly, they were also unexpectedly kind about my concussion symptoms. In a cruel world that seems like it’s on fire, I’ll take it.
Thinking Person's Guide to Autism
thinkingautism.comDon't be fooled by the "new and nicer" ABA therapy: "In 'play-based' [ABA] sessions, toys are often not used for genuine exploration or creativity. They’re used as reinforcers, a behavioral currency. Play isn’t child-led; it’s adult-orchestrated." endseclusion.org/2025/10/31/t... #BetterWaysThanABA
