#TIL that California's San Andreas fault is named after St. Andrew, which may be super obvious but I'm super oblivious.

This, of course, means that Andrew Jackson and misandry share a common root, which tracks, really.

The Death of Vaccines in Trump's America!

America's vaccine policy has been set for decades, with patients, providers, scientists and insurers more or less in sync on the merits of immunizations.

In the last several weeks, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has upended long-standing norms, introducing uncertainty into a once-reliable system.

#NoKings sure! But what instead? What if we found a way to actually make the will of the people central to our democracy? 30 years of testing shows how it can work in James Fishkin's new book. My author interview explores the remarkable results: 1/13 www.salon.com/2025/06/14/d...

Deliberative democracy: Sounds...

The #BrokenTimes has no idea what to do. It is lost.
"Perhaps the fact that the nation has endured difficult times before should offer a note of comfort. But perhaps not."

in reply to Jeff Jarvis

The #BrokenTimes does have a story about NoKings: buried. I found it by searching--could not find where it is linked. The story does not provide a link to tell readers where protests are around them, only links to its stories about Trump. Not journalism.

🇺🇦💔 This is a Ukrainian soldier originally from Slovyansk, Donetsk region, who was returned to Ukraine during today's exchange.

In captivity, the Russians took away his finger, "justifying" it by saying that "he no longer needed it."

These are Russian methods. This is how they treat all Ukrainians. And, in particular, with people from Donetsk region who did not ask to be "liberated" and who defended their native, Ukrainian region from them.

If you're doing anything interesting today, remember to set your phone to airplane mode and disable biometric unlock before you head out.
in reply to Dan Riley

@dan131riley My understanding is that this is not the case - that Airplane Mode disables transmission, including wifi. bluetooth and cellular, and that - for example, on iPhones - that this means "find-my" type utilities no longer work, and that there's no in-phone recording of your motion taking place.
in reply to mhoye

Airplane mode typically doesn't turn off GPS reception, so location services may need to be turned off separately. Otherwise, photos in airplane mode may still have EXIF location data (for example).

Airplane mode may not turn off bluetooth, so verify that is off.

Even then I wouldn't trust it. Airplane mode isn't designed for privacy, and it has evolved over time to be more permissive. I wouldn't be surprised if some phones still send an occasional IMEI ping even in airplane mode.




Spotted on a recent walk. It's still afloat and has a nice, new mooring rope, but don't - whatever you do - lean on that taffrail...
