"Medical institutions must educate staff that Long COVID is a disabling condition affecting up to 40% of healthcare workers who contracted and continue to contract COVID-19 while working in hospitals that have failed to control the spread of the virus and other pathogens." #LongCOVID

"I developed Long COVID while practicing medicine. The system had no place for me" "6 years later, COVID-19 continues spreading, killing, and disabling people, but many of my colleagues ignore it. Last December, a colleague said, “We can’t keep doing this. COVID is basically over” archive.md/CLP40

A good day to remind people that, around 2000 or so, Edward Said began routinely telling journalists and editors in his interviews that the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory was now the longest in modern world history, after having surpassed the Japanese occupation of Korea.

Best defence. My cartoon in today's @theageaustralia.bsky.social and @sydmorningherald.bsky.social

"Not all men" are rapists. But ALL MEN are part of a patriarchal system which treats women as domestic servants, with lower intelligence and skills. Everyday sexism and acts of violence exist on a continuous arc. You're still part of the system at the bottom of the arc.

The Battle of the Tarigo Convoy took place in the early hours of April 16, 1941, when the British 14th destroyer flotilla intercepted a heavily laden axis convoy. This decisive British victory significantly hindered the supply lines of Erwin Rommel’s Afrika Korps. #WWII #erwinrommel #navalhistory

For decades, companies salvaged the steel because it was forged before nuclear testing and had zero radioactive contamination. Hospitals used it in medical imaging equipment. Even now, the most sensitive scientific detectors need pre-nuclear steel. #NavalHistory #ScapaFlow #WWI

52 warships sank in a single day at Scapa Flow. June 21, 1919. Germany lost WWI. The Allies parked the German fleet in Scotland while they argued over who gets what. Admiral von Reuter didn't wait for the verdict. He gave a secret order and every crew opened their sea valves at once.

"what we are seeing in Lebanon is buffer zones in service of ethnic cleansing" @972mag.com www.972mag.com/israel-leban...

The unconscionable evil of taking deporting people to a country where they have never been and do not know the languages. It's just cruelty for cruelty's sake. The people who work for ICE are monstrous. Each and every ICE agent and employee must face justice.

Extreme heat is already creating “nonsurvivable” conditions for humans in heatwaves that have killed thousands and likely many more, according to new research that warns people are more susceptible to rising temperatures than first thought.

Stupid is as stupid does

Yesterday, Israel used a triple tap attack to kill paramedics in Lebanon. This means that they first bombed, waited for paramedics to come, bombed again, waited, and then bombed again. It was all caught on camera. There is no peace possible with this. www.instagram.com/reel/DXMzlFy...

✨Riot at the arena!✨ This fresco depicts a riot at the arena in Pompeii. The fresco likely depicts the riot that broke out in 59 CE between Pompeians and the neighbouring Nucerians.

Big Tech wrote the EU law that hides their data centres' environmental impact. The EU wants to triple its data centre capacity in the next five years. While the full scale of their energy and water footprint is hidden from the public. Our new @investigate-europe.eu investigation reveals why.

1. people reflexively blame AI for problems because it's obviously harmful in many domains 2. Bluesky (now "entirely AI-coded" acc. to staff) keeps breaking 3. AI is blamed. Devs say no, it's web service issues, scold AI-blamers for their ignorance 4. devs admit it was actually AI code at fault lol

This hits hard: "Fascism – what Hannah Arendt called 'organized loneliness' – can only take root when people stop believing that their society will reward their lawfulness with an orderly and humane existence." Read the whole thread. This really crystalizes a problem that has been haunting me.

In 1759, a French invasion fleet bound for the UK prepared to shelter from a huge winter storm in the Bay of Biscay. Riding into attack on the edge of that storm was a Royal Navy fleet under Admiral Hawke. On the pod, @drachinifel.bsky.social look at a gloriously batshit naval battle we both love.

The AI rollout is an incredible test case for the power of capital to overrule everything in its way. An overwhelmingly stupid, obscenely polluting, and wildly dangerous set of technologies are being brute-forced into every part of our lives because money says so.

131 years ago, on the 17th of April 1895, China and Japan signed the Treaty of Shimonoseki, ending the First Sino-Japanese war. It ended China's tributary relations with Korea, forced China to pay an indemnity and cede Taiwan, the Penghu islands and the Liaodong peninsula to Japan. #otd #history 🗃️

Temporary Squeaker Mike is so dumb it hurts.

The entire issue with the NDIS is that a generation of Australians (including almost everyone working in the political media) have become indoctrinated to believe the private sector is more efficient than the private sector. Privatize disability care? What *could* go wrong???
