I STG is Hunter Biden planning to run for something? His content is all over my feed on Threads in a very coordinated way that looks like its not coordinated.

Trump keeps trying to shill fossil fuels that the market doesn't seem to want.

Social media distort our perception of norms by highlighting extereme views, can subtly blind us to the ways that most people are moderate in their views. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

What else is there beyond the individual choices a body makes abt what to consume, and the atomized response of an individuated immune system? HealthCARE? Never heard of her.

Here's the article. diabetesjournals.org/care/article...

Here is the original article that led to the crackdown at the ADA confererence. Share it widely. 10/ diabetesjournals.org/care/article...

ADA members are being threatened with arrest for speaking out against the destruction of biomedical research in America while the ADA invited the NIH Director overseeing that destruction to give a keynote talk. The ADA is not serving the members and patients it claims to represent.

Medical police.

How you do everything is how you do anything.

In the end the doctors and researchers were not arrested but escorted out of the building: "Researchers who were removed from the conference said that their badges had been taken away and that they had been told not to come back to the convention center"

To be clear, it looks like the conference organizers called the cops. They may have been worried because Jay Bhattacharya, the pro-Trump NIH director, was scheduled to speak (and he did in fact cancel). Looks like a case of "obeying in advance" - people fearing the state's reaction.

Senior researchers at a meeting of the American Diabetes Association were handing out copies of an editorial, published in the association's journal, condemning Trump administration cuts to diabetes research. Police came to arrest them. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/05/w...

Remember the current NIH director going on about protecting researchers from government censorship? Today his people called the police in to forcibly remove my colleagues from their own society meeting for sharing an editorial published in their flagship journal that was critical of him. Gift link

Or a social safety net. Your nervous system most be an island entirely impervious to and unaffected by all the conditions of the society around you.

There is not one way to recover from Long COVID and *anyone* who's actually been following the literature and anecdotal recovery stories would know this. Anyone claiming otherwise has no idea what they're talking about.

There are a lot of good critiques of this article, and here's the one I want to make: Anyone telling you there is one universal treatment for every long covid patient is: 1. full of bs, 2. trying to profit off something, and most importantly 3. *harming* the patients who don't fit their tidy "cure"

I just need everyone to know this photo here is not my dog. Its just an account for another lilac fluffy frenchie with white points that looks identical to my dog that the feed found and sent to me.

Ok, but it's vitamin A. Not like it was a C- or something. An A is good, actually!

Nothing is ever worrisome. Pointing out a thing worth worrying about is merely fear-mongering and anxiety, a mental health disorder. Healthy people are actually well adjusted to a sick society. Literally nothing is ever worrying.

Why are public health and infection control decisions the exclusive turf of complete imbeciles who have absolutely zero idea what they're doing? COVID is the Dunning-Kruger pandemic. Check with real scientists before you believe any rainbows-and-unicorns bullshit from medicine's management class.

Ah cool, so the frontrunner for California’s next governor is already signaling he wants to retreat on the state’s climate goals (via POLITICO)

In 2025, MAGA fascism and tech fascism merged to create a flywheel of overt corruption that provides infinite money for these takeovers. The Trump regime pours money into venture capitalist projects while the VCs pour money into the Trump family. Massive criminal capture.

What's happening to CBS News is what the tech oligarchs call "parallel" strategy. Buy an existing institution, gut it, and convert it into a right-wing zombie version of itself. They are doing this to media, government, education, biotech, defense tech, etc. Some call it the "Network State."

That's Network State shorthand for parallel strategy: Do to (institution) what Elon did to Twitter. Buy it, gut it, purge it, and create a twisted version that serves tech fascist oligarchy. We will see this over and over again, so it's crucial to know it's a strategy with a name.

This thread explains something I had been seeing but hadn’t understood.

On the flip side there’s also reason to worry because of the way the current unwinding looks so familiar to things I took as a given strictly because I was born in the Soviet Union in the late 20th century.

I do think the most frightening thing about the present is the systematic unwinding of a few hundred sterling cultural trends and achievements I took as given strictly because I was born in the late 20th century.

I blame the deluded ignorance of the indistinguishable masses the way eugenicists blame the defects of the individual.

The EU's wider rules, which kick in from February 18th, 2027, are simple: Users must be able to remove and replace batteries with basic tools, or specialized tools that are provided with the product for free, and compatible spare batteries must be sold for at least five years.

You ever get activated into a fight and flight typa situation and as yr shooting yr way out to the exit you're also simultaneously kind of watching yourself like "wow, haha. this is an incredibly traumatized response! oh well! pew! pew!" Or was yr childhood / the past 6 yeas like not that bad for u?

You've really gotta respect dementia, tbh. It's not like cancer, or some other thing where you can "battle" it and even "win." You can't change its course by throwing more money at it. You can't pray or positive think it away. You can't HEAL it. It will always destroy you. Respect.

God, powerful enough to give birth to everything, but has to not be female.

The Catholic Catechism and the Baptist Confession of Faith state explicitly that God is neither male nor female, has no body or physical form. To think of God as biologically male diminishes the very nature of God. Everyone from Billy Graham to the Pope to the Anglican Church agrees on this.

“I am freeing men from the dirty and degrading self-mortifications of a chimera called conscience and morality," wrote Adolf Hitler. It took armies to put an end to that campaign because dictators do not stop until they are stopped. Not with empathy.

a lot (most?) people understand racism as “being a meanie” and if you aren’t a meanie then you can’t be racist, even if you believe in, say, the biological inferiority of entire groups of people based on phenotype
