Thank you to everyone who still makes the courageous choice to mask, even if it’s not what everyone else is doing

Here's a photo of a helicopter landed on Joanne's 227 foot support yacht that follows around her 290 foot main yacht

Repeated infections being a “fact of life” is a framing designed to make you think something is naturally inevitable rather than the expected result of a series of public health decisions designed with something other than your health and safety at the forefront.

When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

Here are THREE examples of racist legislation (not an exhaustive list) which conform to the international definition of apartheid. 2/24

This gets my vote for the best thing I've seen on the Internet today:

Things Gavin Newsom has vetoed this week: -A ban on secretly recording people with smart glasses -A ban on ICE agents working for the state government -A ban on websites selling your data -A bill giving native tribes more say over water rights -A bill protecting transgender healthcare providers

Help shape how we teach those in healthcare about Long COVID in BC! Our interdisciplinary team at SFU, UBC, and PHSA are recruiting people living with Long COVID as well as healthcare providers working in ED/UPCC settings to participate in 75-minute focus groups. #LongCOVID #BChealthcare #BCCOVID

I long for the halcyon days when you could dip an SOS scrubber in water and not have it disintegrate into a million little shards of metal that jam under your fingernails.

"COVID fatigue linked to reduced brain blood flow" Brain scans found lower overall cerebral blood flow in people with Long COVID, especially in regions involved in attention, sensory processing and cognitive control. Lower blood flow was also linked to slower reaction times and concentration.

Men, it’s never too late to leave your fraternity. Membership is lifelong. And these segregationist institutions use your name to uphold the power they abuse. This is what your fellow alums are doing. Do you really want to be associated with that?

"Canada strong", "national interest", "sovereignty", "Orange Scary Bad Man" -- all propaganda to get Canadians to accept the erosion of climate protections, food security, labour rights, Indigenous rights, the public sector, and public ownership. And all working very well indeed.

Most riveting thing I've seen all week

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

another thing that hurts my heart is how much people who still mask do to understand why both strangers and loved ones feel the way they do about masking—or lack thereof—but there is rarely such curiosity the other direction, but rather, more often, almost a simmering contempt.

Of course one of the best science fiction directors of all time understands the science of airborne virus transmission! Steven Spielberg is wearing a high quality mask during the California COVID surge.

Same - total jump startle when I saw it

Great job by friends @mark-ungrin.bsky.social and @drdavidkeegan.bsky.social getting the word out on the ongoing challenges getting the medical community to acknowledge and understand aerosol transmission of respiratory viruses.

I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽‍♀️

Nice campaign by the Norwegian Consumer Council about the declining lifespan of products. Enjoy!

“Air sampling at four US airports in 2023 and 2024 detected SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, in over 98% of samples and influenza A in over 17%, according to a study published in PLOS Global Public Health” www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/air...

Look at all this handwringing to allow trans hate on this website

"Enjoy the camps" is also something that's been said to me, as a disabled person. I've even been called a Useless Eater by liberals (and even leftists). Disabled people were the crack that opened the door to the Holocaust. They were rounded up and either sterilised or murdered. They used our...

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 mean if you really want to hear Ed Sheeran without any opening acts you can simply get put on hold with your bank

Protesters at the Irish Open. shitler’s international golf links and hotel Doonbeg, Ireland. Thank you, Doonbeg!

If you cannot be trusted to stand up for transgender Americans when they’re facing what some experts call a genocide, I don’t trust you to stand up for anything.

If you showed up at Defcon and gave talk about how your autonomous malware did something unexpected and damaged someone else's computers, the first question from the audience would be "Why are you so shit at making secure sandboxes?" It wouldn't be "How are you so awesome at making hacking tools?"

Once you understand the corporate culture of AI hyperscalers is everyone cooking their brains by locking themselves in the bathroom, holding flashlights under their chins, and saying "Aaaaaaaaaay Eyeeeeeee" until they wet themselves in terror, things snap into focus: pluralistic.net/2023/06/04/a...
