Reminder that these models *constantly* report a huge surge and have been wrong about it over and over and over. SARS-CoV-2 is still here. You still need to take it seriously. But please follow modellers who get it right.

The Trump regime will round you up off the street and arrest you because you spoke your mind. And federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars who refuse to identify themselves will be the ones to do it. It's fascism. Call it what it is.

I just sent a short email. It took me like 2 minutes.

After being on BlueSky for just months, I’m already so grateful for a space with smart, fun people, who tell heartbreaking and heartwarming stories with a courageous take no crap, speak the truth attitude. 2025 is going to be a rough one, so having this place will help. #HappyNewYearBlueSky

Happy New Year to all. Here’s to staying positive and testing negative.

Worse than not ready. Worse off than we were before the current pandemic. Far worse. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Do you know what causes Autism? #COVID That's the conclusion of a study of over 18000 kids born in 8 different hospitals. Boys born to mothers who got infected while pregnant are TWO TIMES more likely to be diagnosed with delays in brain development like autism 12 months later. #LongCovidKids

Sean Fraser is leaving Federal politics. This is so sad, What a wonderful politician he is. No one can shut up Pissant Pierre like Sean. I hope he runs for the Leader of the NS Liberal Party and kicks the crooked PC's to the curb in 4 years. Nova Scotia would be lucky to have him as Premier !

To all the people upset about Luigi Mangione being made into a folk hero. Now you know how we felt when you made Kyle Rittenhouse into a hero.

It's wild that it took this long. Masks are an incredibly effective tool to control the transmission of airborne pathogens.

In *every* sector, normalized price gouging, abysmal quality, hostile service, & shitty attitudes, are all results of late-stage capitalism. It's not you; It's systemic rot, and you need to stop tolerating it.

Groundbreaking nano-vaccine for COVID-19, delivered via nasal spray without requiring cold storage. This vaccine targets all major COVID-19 variants using synthesized amino acid sequences. scitechdaily.com/needle-free-...

Two antibodies that neutralize all known strains of COVID-19 – including Omicron – with up to 95% efficiency have been isolated by researchers. scitechdaily.com/scientific-b...

"Weekly proportion of laboratory confirmed Covid hospitalizations by source of acquisition" Maybe healthcare should start practicing infection control?!?

We don't say this loudly enough, or often enough: Corporations are apex predators, and we are their prey.

Unsurprisingly, there's been low Covid vaccine uptake in Nova Scotia. We need an education campaign that targets misinformation. CBC Nova Scotia "Vaccination benefits getting lost amid misinformation, say experts":

It's gonna take a whole lotta cat-account muting, to make BlueSky timeline informative.

No one could have foreseen this. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

If you're serious about masking, N95 and better are what works. KN95s are VASTLY inferior. I do not understand people passionately advocating for masking, but wearing these inferior ones. Baffles me.

More than 4000 new Long COVID victims, per week.

From populists on the right, but also from establishment figures desperate to bury their responsibility, there's an ongoing push to bury the harms of COVID. Long COVID alone costs 7M life-years (QALYs) and on the order of a trillion dollars a year in the OECD. www.oecd-ilibrary.org/social-issue...

Let’s run the government like a business, drive the car like a bicycle, and play the guitar like a piano

I did not vote for a LIAR. #NovaScotia #nspoli #TurfTim

Two ideas to save the world. I stole them both from smarter people: (1) Turn off the internet for one year. (2) Annually sacrifice the richest person in the world. Just imagine the December scramble as the guy at the top frantically gives away all his money.

I'm not much of a graphic designer but I created this image to use on my social media profiles in order to encourage more people to vote. Feel free to download and use it if you'd like to do the same. Politicians need to understand we're watching them and care enough to vote! #nspolui

Unfollow. Probably should be a block, too.

One of them must be wrong.

Okay, one bad thing about BlueSky: It's maybe too much now, with the cats.

Just now - scrolling through posts, & seeing some right-wing shite. Said to self: "Jesus Christ! Am I on Twitter?" I was.

I appreciate liberals suddenly caring about disinformation again, but those of us that've been tending this home fire for the past four years are gonna need y'all to recognize the covid disinformation you need to undo in your own mind if you want to stand in solidarity with disabled people.

If re-elected we will mandate all law firms provide a buy one get one free pair of nondisclosure agreements: BOGONDA! If you’re gonna be under NDA, be sure to get BOGO value. BOGONDA! The one NDA you can tell people about! #nspoli #turftim
