Leaving an app and forgetting what app you were going to is the new walking into a room and wondering why you did.
I haven't used this shit service since I weaned myself off Covid doomscrolling, but I'm annoyed enough at Elon's trolling, double standards, and general bad humaning that I've come back here to say you can find me, if you like, on Mastodon, @doubleread@universeodon.com

1. Florida's voter suppression bill, SB90, passed the legislature. @RonDeSantisFL will sign it.
Top corporate donors to the sponsors of SB90:
@UnitedHealthGrp (180K)
@Publix (157K)
@AnheuserBusch (75K)
@ATT (45K)
@CVSHealth (32K)
NONE of these corps publicly opposed the bill
Pretty sure that when this finally happens the squirrels dancing on my grave will be mildly alarmed by a quiet murmur of approval that emanates from within the earth

US has 65 million doses of vax distributed but not yet admin. That’s a 23 day supply even without the 27m doses distributed every week. Time for the US to release the 30 million doses of the AZ vaccine to India or COVAX. They will never be used in the US and will save lives now.

"The time has come to voice our fears and be honest with wider society. Current net zero policies will not keep warming to within 1.5°C because they were never intended to. They were and still are driven...to protect business as usual, not the climate."

My takeaway is that maybe men should listen to women.
.@WSJ is one of the nation's great papers. @rupertmurdoch considers it the crown jewel of his empire. Most of its readers are older white men, and it needs to evolve if it's going to survive. But a rivalry between the editor & publisher stands in the way.

REMINDER: @ATT has donated $574,500 over the last three years to the Texas officials pushing voter suppression legislation and now CEO John Stankey says that election laws are too "complicated" for the company to take a clear position

I try not to point fingers at physicians or scientists in govt. My rationale: it’s all we can do to persuade the best to agree to perform public service. Each time we throw a stone it can be a disincentive to others. Unless I’m convinced there’s intent to deceive I try to refrain
