In normal times, the fact that government officials at HHS blatantly lied to the public and got caught would be a scandal of unusual size. Everyone involved in this disinformation scheme against the people of the United States should be held accountable.

I made my own comment using the bullet points listed at the link.

Ditto what David said.

Businesses getting all butt-hurt because they’re being called out for using genAI don’t realize the opportunity they’ve been given. I ask businesses not to use AI because I want to give them my business but won’t support AI. Most others I just pass by their AI ads/signage without saying anything

I made a top hat as part of my son's Halloween costume!

Although the results came in too late for me to buy a specimen at my usual gem, mineral, and fossil show - I do still get to continue my streak of owning at least one specimen of each of the winners since I joined in the fun 3 years ago. Plenty of quartz in my collection!🤣

I think it's weird how fixated a lot of you are on people who are covid conscious..

CR box air cleaners reduce particles in classrooms by 61%. pubs.acs.org/aeacd5/artic...

My household wears KN95s. We only ask other people to mask around us in our own house or vehicle and medical professionals. In six years, two of the four of us have caught something transmissible by air a total of 3x since 2019 and AFAIK it's never been Covid.

The truth is, you can belittle maskers, shrug off disabled people, and call us all crazy a million times, but you’re going to have to live in the world you’re building with these choices, and outcomes don’t care that your views are popular right now. www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/mor...

SARS-CoV-2 was detected 98.3% of air samples at airports! ITS COVID. MASK UP WITH AN N95 OR BETTER! “Airports, as major international travel hubs with dense, enclosed populations, are high-risk settings for disease transmission and potential pathogens” journals.plos.org/globalpublic...

This is genuinely disinformation. Vaccines are great are reducing severity, they do not greatly reduce your risk of getting sick, and even that effect wanes within a few months. Masking with n95s or kn95s and cleaning the air are the best protections against getting sick.

I am begging healthcare workers to stop doing this. You should be masking by default. With everything we know about how COVID is transmitted it’s ridiculous we don’t have mandatory masking in healthcare. At the bare minimum, you should mask mirror.

The seat belts and airbags in my car will never guarantee that I won’t be hurt in an accident but they help to protect me. I view vaccines the same way.

Hey, so our workshop got broken into over the weekend. Most of what was stolen was just replaceable stuff, but one very precious mask was taken. Tierney's head has been stolen. If anyone sees this head anywhere, let us know immediately. Hoping against hope that we can bring her home.

ASAN made the exciting move to a new donor platform that lets us put more of our time and your gifts toward advocacy. But there’s been one snag — a technical issue means we’ve lost some of our monthly members, and we need your help to find everyone! autisticadvocacy.org/donate/join/

I made a necklace yesterday for PrideFest.

This, but the feelings of dread about climate change go back a lot further.

I firmly believe that if people all across the political spectrum had not leaned into ableism to make wearing masks so unpopular we would have seen many more people using this vital tool during the recent wildfire smoke emergencies

Come build with us! Anyone can join in the fun!

Buster Keaton didn't stand still while a two-ton housefront collapsed on top of him with a window cut out to barely clear his shoulders on each side so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

It will never stop being funny to me that the street fighter subreddit has a much better, well reasoned ai policy vis a vis literally all universities.

May need to give this gift early. Hopefully my other son's gift I recently ordered will arrive soon!
