Criminally funny, but also I'm crying inside Norway comes for the #TechBros www.forbrukerradet.no/breakingfree vimeo.com/1168468796?f...

Declaring it the year of this horse specifically: they look like they could do with cheering up.

🎥🎞Film Trivia🎞🎥 Tobey Maguire's first name is short for Toblerone™ (the ™ stands for Tobey Maguire)

This feels like some kind of benediction in retrospect

Literally crying with happiness, wonderful

You won! You got what you wanted! Nobody has to mask anywhere, even in medical facilities around the most vulnerable patients. Moreover, nobody even feels obligated to, because we don’t owe anything to each other. You got everything you wanted, so just leave us alone and let us mask in peace.

You haven't listened in a while and you think "Surely even Prince had some janky juvenalia as the first song on his first album?", and my lord he did not. Such a luscious little moment! youtu.be/2-hcFcWYM08?...

Gorton and Denton? The Demon Barbers of Fleet Street? The No Win No Fee Workplace Accident Solicitor Firm? The scientific names for the upper row of teeth and the lower row?

The reason why older generations burnt the shit out of their meat and boiled the shit out of their vegetables, was your kid died if you didn't. Medium rare steaks and roasted Brussels sprouts are a side effect of an intact food safety infrastructure

Promised myself I wouldn't get invested in any of the couples from Love is Blind, and yet here we are

Warning that this is a very sobering read. "That scale in turn raises a troubling question: whether Covid is not only leaving millions chronically unwell but also accelerating the slow neurological processes that end in dementia"

Great to see this: a condition I can confirm is hard to live with. As the article mentions, it can really twist your personality, especially before you know what's going on.

stole this off reddit for the very niche group of you who will enjoy it as much as I did

Love to see that

Very few people are willing to have a real conversation about why everything feels off.

People be talking like Covid ain’t still around disabling and killing folks. Thats the wildest part of the last 6 years.

Beautiful

Mad that it’s one billionaire scumbag who’s behind these massive-scale evictions in London AND the mass closure of London pubs AND beloved institution the Prince Charles Cinema being in dire straits AND the high street being clogged with cruddy candy shops. A one-man enshittification engine.

Wild, love it. Never expected to see these words in this font

Loving this comic on Covid safety by Gilly, a writer & illustrator from the PNW 😷 YES to N95 masks, no to potatoes in your socks Link to full zine: static1.squarespace.com/static/5888e...

For all those who call us "Covid doomers" for continuing to post about the harms of long Covid - just know that the @who.int also posted yesterday about how this crisis isn't over

I almost forgot. Some doctors used your generation as a disease reservoir to “top up” immunity of your household by spreading disease in schools. This resulted in your illnesses, and illnesses in your household… and probably some deaths too.

No. And do you know why? Because COVID-19 hasn’t disappeared either. It’s chewing us slowly like gum until we run out of flavour. And yet I see meeting after meeting with no masks being worn, except the entirely transparent mask of “normality”.

The kind of tech the left is excited about

Love a bit of bouba/Kiki, and now with added cutee chicks

Perfection

Howling at that photo of Andrew after he got arrested looking the absolute spit of General Woundwort from Watership Down.

have you or someone you know developed an autoimmune disease since 2020? if you’re not mitigating covid, there’s a far from insignificant chance infection played a role. one reason hydroxychloroquine prescription rates have remained overall higher than pre-2020 is new autoimmunity post-covid.

Sometimes I miss London and then

it used to be normal to breathe cigarette smoke any time you went out. we changed that via education and public policy. it doesnt have to be normal to breathe covid.

Goddamn the Olympic ice hockey and its Pavlovian power to put this bloomin' song in my head youtu.be/sW0EiTFiu8Y?...

Seduced by the level of masking as much as the romance, drool

“We are in an unstable position. We cannot live with this disease the way that we are living right now for several years to come and expect our society to function as it functions now…There is nothing that says endemic about this…”

“And with each of these hits, your chances of getting health complications are like…heart attacks and embolisms and all kinds of thrombotic events and all kinds of organ failures—and that keeps going up. It's cumulative…”

Who up continvoucly morging they bugfixes

a very accurate distillation of conversations among covid cautious people 😮‍💨

Very creepy

The actual title for this is "Somebody Suggests Getting A Chippy Tea"

Breaking the chain of transmission shows a lot of love. Anyone -adults and children- can be debilitated by Covid, even well after the acute phase (initial symptoms), which is why Long Covid has been referred to as a mass-disabling event.

Love isn't seasonal and neither is Covid. You can show people you care by wearing a well-fitted mask and protecting them from infection that could result in long-term, debilitating symptoms.

This is my big current paradigm shift learning in coding: once it properly sunk in it's hugely changed my approach

Always encouraging to see people finally come to terms with reality

So at the beginning of the pandemic I said it would take about 5-7 years for people to figure stuff out using heuristic learning methods. I am a crystal ball.

I can't think of better rebranding ambassadors for masks than the 2026 Olympians. Our leaders have tried to pass off masks as something you only wear if already sick or older with comorbidities. But everyone is vulnerable to post viral illness. These athletes get it 👏🏼👏🏼

The High Court today confirms that the EHRC's draft code of practice got the law wrong and must be changed. Women's and men's toilets can be provided on a trans- inclusive basis for customers and service users.
