Excited about these new books I’ll be covering on the Conspirituality Book Club by @gilduran.com & @disruptedscience.bsky.social
A new Manchester Metropolitan University study found both smokers and long-term vapers had worse blood vessel function, breathing efficiency, and exercise capacity than non-users. Vaping and smoking results in 15% lower fitness in young adults. Meanwhile:
The DSA just released its new platform. While there are many things I agree with, this just isn’t it.
7,000 cases of cycloporiasis have either been confirmed or are under investigation nationwide. The FDA stopped requiring states monitor for it in July 2025. The CDC is clueless about its origins. RFK Jr hasn't made a public statement. He's busy reposting this from his official government account.
I don’t care about Lindsay Graham whatsoever but exploiting his death like this is vile, though not surprising from these cretins.
Finally got out for a hike in Silver Falls today. We couldn’t do the falls loop due to no puppies allowed, but plenty more to explore.
This is on Kennedy’s shoulders. The fact that doctors are giving such broad advice (second slide) is due to a broken federal public health system.
A recent policy proposal rule change by the Trump administration could end scientific research as we know it. And it’s barely getting coverage.
This is an insane take. A little rapey isn’t part of an excusable curve.
Weston A Price was a dentist who made a whole lot of stuff up and leaves behind an anti-vax, antifluoride, pro-raw milk, “chemtrails are real” legacy through his foundation.
You would think this is 1956, but nope! It's today. Photo by @orr_photo on IG
I’m sorry, how is this helping Palestinians? My feed is filled with this sht. And it’s not just bots, even if a number of them are commenting.
Perfect time to be reading @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social Stoking in-group fighting is one of the most effective authoritarian techniques. The fact that the left isn’t laser-focused on Trump’s $2 billion+ earnings as president, but treats it as a shrug, says everything about where we’re at.
This is how chill Tempo would like to be on July 4. If you care about dogs, cats, or literally any other animal, don’t set off fireworks.
I have specific criticisms about how certain DSA members are going about things, but my politics generally line up with their platform. The fact that the Dem party is considered outdated by a growing population isn't surprising. People want fighters, and WTF is this?
Never before have a chyron and screen visual so perfectly matched. MAHAAAAAAAA
I really hope that as things heat up as we approach the midterms, people pay attention to the racial dynamics at play. I'm not fan of Booker for a number of reasons, but these posts are highly accurate.
The administration never gave a fk about health and used Kennedy to acquire his audience. Kennedy cares about conspiracies, not health. Many MAHA influencers just sniff an opportunity to build their brand. This toothless “order” is a worthless deflection that MAHA will try to spin as a “win.”
