RFK Jr.βs Prescription for Bird Flu on Farms: Let It Spread
The health secretary has suggested allowing the virus to spread, so as to identify birds that may be immune. Such an experiment would be disastrous, scientists say.Apoorva Mandavilli (The New York Times)
@Okanogen I keep saying it: peopleβs relationship with abuse and abusers is the key to understanding their relationship with Trump.
If you want to know why somebody voted for him, look at whoβs abused them and who theyβve abused in their own life, and look at how they feel about that, how they conceptualize it.
@inthehands @samiamsam @Okanogen @huntingdon m
I canβt say if any of the MAGA ppl I know personally have been abused or are abusers (2 friends, 2-4 family members) but a common theme Iβve noticed is that they did not have a supportive father in their life growing up, and they did not particularly like to read.
But then thereβs this, which says RWA personality is mostly genetic.
Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
@KydiaMusic @inthehands @Okanogen @huntingdon
another thing that happens when kids grow up in an abusive family is they either identify with their abusers or go the opposite way
i got a qualified therapist, healed as best i could and decided not to be like my abusive family
some kids decide they like power and control and become abusers themselves
@samiamsam @KydiaMusic @Okanogen @huntingdon
Both of those patterns are ones I specifically had in mind with that post.
Iβm really glad you got help and did the work to help break the cycle. That is so tough and so important.

Boy, I guess you guys really showed Joe and Kamala. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/czje23jd779tbeige.party
Spreading the βGenocide Joeβ nickname has to be one of political historyβs all-time worst self-owns.
(I mean, self-own by the people who were spreading it in earnest, anyway; it was heavily amplified by fascist astroturfing once it emerged.)
Butβ¦like I said, I'm finding it hard to even be mad today at the fools who were repeating it. Mostly what I feel is just overwhelming sadness. What a damned waste. What fools we all are.

The image features a news article headline that reads, "IRISH MIDGET ACCUSED OF POSING AS A LEPRECHAUN TO EXTORT SEX FROM 26 WOMEN IN EXCHANGE FOR POT OF GOLD." Below the headline, there is a photograph of a person with curly red hair and glasses, smiling. The background of the image is split with blue on the left and pink on the right. The article text states, "A 3-foot-and-4-inches-tall Irishman was arrested this morning for allegedly taking advantage of credulous women by posing as a leprechaun and extorting sexual favors in exchange for a fictional 'pot of gold hidden at the end of a rainbow'." At the bottom of the image, there are social media sharing buttons for Facebook and Twitter, with the Facebook button showing "468K" shares.

in reply to Frankie β • • •The image depicts a fantasy character with elf-like features, including pointed ears and a long braid of reddish-brown hair. The character is wearing a dark, armored outfit with gold accents and a fur collar, suggesting a warrior or adventurer role. They are holding a wooden staff in their right hand, which is adorned with a leather strap. A gray cat with green eyes is perched on the character's left shoulder, adding a touch of companionship to the scene. The background is a gradient of dark to light, with a starry sky and a warm glow at the bottom, possibly indicating a sunset or sunrise. The character's expression is serene and contemplative, with a slight upward gaze. The overall composition and attire suggest a setting in a high-fantasy world.
