I think it is important to say about this, that from all the data we have on long covid, that if these people have covid (currently high in the US) around 10% of these people are going to walk away with a chronic, possibly permanent disability, and that should not be an acceptable number to anyone.
I am b e g g i n g people to mask up at major cons, *especially* ones with 5-digit crowd sizes!! Lightbox this weekend was absolutely ravaged; I’m hearing of SO many attendees and exhibitors who got sick from doing the show this year!! Please stay safe out there! 🙏 🙏

What in the ever loving racist incorrect mouth dropping is this??? The Arab world “produces” plenty of “science”… which is all the more impressive since the West periodically bombs all their shit.
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

There’s literally a memo from 1995(?) about how the right was weaponizing the internet, pushing conspiracy bullshit on blogs and then using tabloids and right-wing media to stir up controversy that ends up splashed across the pages of legacy papers.
This has been the fundamental mechanism through which political media operates my entire life. The right makes a bunch of noise about a fake scandal, the mainstream media "covers the controversy," & normie voters get the vague impression that Dems are constantly involved in scandal.

Ahhh, the US once again proving itself to be a corporate guard dog. Pretty shameless of our govt to roll on its belly begging for tummy rubs every time a corporate overload shows up at the WH.

My chest pain was simply my rib cage becoming inflamed from the post-intubation coughing. ER doc echoes the rest of the staff about having so much medical stuff going on. Staff was super nice, celebrating the mammogram & us results w me, wishing me good health. Nicest ER team BUT only the doc masked

Very revealing moment for the press here. The unstated premise of this question is they cannot understand how Democrats are different from Republicans. That Democrats are capable of abstract, critical thought, and Republicans just use their mouths to reflexively echo.
This was such a great answer from Abdul El-Sayed about his previous criticisms of President Obama.

This is a fascist nightmare. Politicized law enforcement and deliberate targeting of an elected official who has been critical of the regime. Everyone involved needs to be identified and prosecuted. Trump needs to be impeached and removed from office and put on trial for his various crimes.

Last Friday I replied to an email from a colleague I like sent in 2024 and was greeted with a warm reply yesterday. Send the email. Even if it feels like a long time. (Trying to do more of this actually, and the results have been encouraging.)
Today I replied to an e-mail from a friend I really like, who is awesome and cool and whose e-mails I love to receive. I had been wanting to respond for a while but somehow just… did not. The e-mail I replied to was sent in January, 2024. Why am I like this.

"Most nations avoid public executions for the pretty obvious reason that turning a person’s death into propaganda is an assault on human dignity. It creates perverse incentives for jackals like Hegseth to target individuals for spectacular acts of violence in the name of self-aggrandizement."

The entire Republican Party and broader conservative movement need to be smashed to bits. Donor networks gotta be exposed and disrupted. All the outside machinery needs to be dismantled. And electorally it must lose over and over and over and over. We need a truth and reconciliation commission.
The news just since I left work: -A planned livestream of an execution by firing squad -Trump basically trying to incite a pogrom against Somalis Nothing mysterious or complicated about what's happening.

nationalize everything Elon Musk owns.
Just two days before launching an effort to slash red tape for commercial space transportation, President Trump last month purchased up to $5 million of bonds issued by SpaceX, a major federal contractor run by Elon Musk, according to ethics filings made public on Thursday. https://cnn.it/4rRrZU0

We do not have a serious economy in this country, we have an ongoing series of expensive brazen insults to all the hard-working people who *actually make things* despite the incompetent whims of mediocre upfailing assclowns like this guy. No greater lie than the meritocracy.

Here’s the clip!
They asked me about my decorum and I reminded them women are being raped at Cornell, a woman running for Congress was raped in the middle of the night, so they should worry less about me being a bitch (a very gendered critique considering other behavior on council) and deliver for the working class
@trimet.org Since when is racial profiling passengers part of your repertoire or do you have a rogue employee acting out of line? My daughter rode the MAX Red Line this evening after leaving campus at PSU. One of your employees boarded & proceeded to check every POC's fare EXCEPT for the white men.

The wild thing about writing academically re: health and societal harms of SARS2 isn’t how hard it is to find sources to back up the claim that this is some serious 💩 we are in. What’s difficult is sorting through how much has been written that we’re somehow still ignoring.

Well this sucks…. A 28-year-old researcher at a Russian anti-plague institute has died following a suspected lab accident in Siberia. Nearly 200 people are reportedly under observation and hospitals have been quarantined amid concerns over possible pneumonic plague. meidasnews.com/news/russian...
My mom recently had sepsis here in the US. Posted protocols on her door included the use of masks & sanitizing hands before and after entering. None of the nurses put a mask on even though the notice was right on the door.
Recent photo at the NHS. Over 6 years into #COVID, and we still have “wash your hands” under “AIRBORNE PRECAUTIONS.” We are failing hard to communicate one of the most basic lessons of this pandemic: Airborne means spread through the AIR. Clean air is infection control. #Airborne #PublicHealth #NHS
