This is the most important thing you will read today – and probably the whole year, honestly. We cannot let the AMOC collapse. For one thing it will make Iceland uninhabitable, and I would really like my children and grandchildren not to become refugees. But the effects will be almost everywhere.

It's STILL a pandemic (WHO has not ended it). Also, COVID is NOT a respiratory virus - it is AIRBORNE virus. Two different things. TBC, COVID is vaccine-reduceable NOT preventable. VE against hosp '24-'25 was only ~44% (NACI). Tired of this dishonesty. #MaskUP FFS! www.cihi.ca/en/priority-...

I'm down with DJ -> Popstar -> Club Owner -> PM as a change from Private School -> Quad Uni -> City Job -> PM

Fancy the pants off a watch of this!

Given that it took from the 1950 study showing smoking caused cancer until 2005/2006 for its banning in public indoor spaces it is depressing how long officialdom can ignore the obvious and scientifically demonstrated.

Swear to god: just because I want to make my own sweet treats, does NOT mean I want to eat dates

Great news (to me), and a pretty chart

'Organised loneliness' is a weirdly beautiful phrase for the end product of splitting people from each other 🪓

This is a great listen. Though I always wish I could punch William The C and his murderous bully mates square in their stupid evil faces (and ideally all the others like them worldwide before or since) when I'm reminded of the Norman Conquest bullshit

it’s a mask-preventable respiratory disease. the current covid boosters are awesome, but the fact is that they do not make us 100% immune to covid. vaccines are in the works that WILL hopefully make it a vaccine-preventable disease, but we’re not quite there yet! #MaskUp #CovidIsntOver

guys, this is how you lose the time war

Covid precautions always have and continue to to be intersectional progressive praxis. And no covid precautions continue to be…the other thing.

When I was still on Facebook, every female I know over the age of 25 was convinced they were in peri-menopause after having COVID a couple of times. My sister, who is 58, was claiming to have new menopause symptoms after having COVID four times. 🙄

Preach!

Serj Tankian chose to wear a mask while signing autographs at his new coffee venue Kavat Coffee earlier this week. Protecting your health and the community around you is still relevant and still matters. Clean air and small precautions aren’t overreactions, they’re care in action. #MaskUp

This damn post has absolutely ruined my brain every time I hear someone mention "for the time being." Major kudos to the poster, if I ever meet you in person I will congratulate you and then punch you in the face.

A very long time ago, on Twitter, I said “If we feed it kids, it will learn to eat kids.” Paraphrased. And it has. #COVID19

Emphasizing again: you can transmit covid even if you don’t feel sick and even if you are vaccinated. That is why we mask

My “hot take” is that most people with long COVID don’t even know that they *have* long COVID. I see so many patients, friends & colleagues who feel “sick all the time” or have a “really fast heart rate” & don’t put 2+2 together

Holy heck: they actually talk about the points we talk about. In the article!

“The narrative of a high-profile death is often shaped by what representatives choose to release. If the only acceptable language is whatever passes through a PR filter, premature deaths that align with COVID excess death probabilities will continue to be described as normal.”

“we’re all traumatized by covid” ok but i specifically need to know if you were traumatized because the government cancelled brunch or because of all the death, this is a super important distinction

The immune system going rogue and attacking healthy tissue seems to behind some cases of long covid, a discovery that could open doors towards treatments

So you're telling me Claude functions by screaming at itself "WRITE GOOD CODE NO BUGS SECURE VERY STABLE", mashes compile button, reads back the error and yells ONLY GOOD CODE NO BUGS at itself again while crying and copying random things from Stack Overflow until it compiles? it just like me fr fr

Ask people to mask at your events. Not suggest. Just make the events masked.

This is that "me reaping, me sowing" tweet come to life. My dudes, what did you think your "let 'er rip" covid "strategy" (I use that word very loosely) was going to mean in the mid- to long-term? Did NO ONE read the SARS commission report that showed thode who survived it never got fully better?

Some jobs are just better as remote jobs & I fully support that as a F2F teacher whose job involves hands on guided learning. WFH needs societal support & F2F jobs need good #ventilation

Victor Frankenstein is such an unremittingly nasty piece of work. - Abandoning your newborn, check. - Judging a book solely by its cover, check. - Endless self pity, check. Team Monster all the way.

This is the messaging we need #Covidisairborne www.youtube.com/watch?v=kX9t...

Oh look, the government's Cass-ed autistic/ADHD kids. Right down to the 'there are too many AFAB kids who're suddenly presenting as trans/autistic/ADHD, they must all be making it up because they're silly little girls who don't know their own minds'. For fuck's sake.

When there is a delay between infection and onset of new symptoms, it's so easy to dismiss any possible connection between the symptoms and the virus. We are seeing that SARS CoV 2 infection causes organ damage, and that organ damage may be "silent" in the sense that it doesn't cause symptoms.

The industries most impacted when COVID hit were oil & gas (travel), print media (sold at stations) property investors (WFH) & hospitality. They immediately poured millions into creating fake think tanks & lobby groups. Govts said nothing to see, get back to work. Everyone said, that's great.

“Pandemics leave a lasting impact on the brain. More than one million survivors of the 1918 flu pandemic developed a virally-triggered form of Parkinson’s. COVID infections are also showing signs of impacting the brain in various ways.” beingpatient.com/could-long-c...

SPECIFICALLY WE NEED STERILISING VACCINES! So far Novavax are the only ones who have produced a vaccine that reduces spread not just ameliorating symptoms and Long COVID.

This is one of the things that most breaks my heart about it all: people, especially older people, being told their new symptoms are 'just aging/stress/the wear and tear of life' etc when they should be given help

Make an economy where being a dirtbag is a viable lifestyle option, and you create a society that, as a side effect, allows people to create cool shit. An economy friendly to dirtbags is friendly to *everyone* with a weird cool hobby.

Love this analysis! Such an episode and such a great point about referential language and memes www.instagram.com/reel/DUEhwxr...

Yesterday Britain generated 91% of it's power through renewables, and 13% through nuclear, while exporting energy to Denmark and Holland, and that's not even a *good* renewables day

We need clean indoor air, honest public health messaging about the long term harms of COVID, including how *everyone* is vulnerable, Long Covid treatments, and improved vaccines, among other things. #NoKings #COVID

One day, everyone will have always thought this was a good idea. Just not today. Because so far they're not sick. They're just deconditioned, work too hard, stressed, getting older, almost peri-menopausal, perimenopausal, menopausal, lacking testosterone, need to take more vitamins, forgetful...

Instead of ridiculous lockdown rules on bubbles and inadequate gappy surgicals. They should have rolled out Hepa air purifiers, given advice on ffp2 respirators, given ffp3 to hospital staff and not framed vaccines as our only defence from an airborne virus.

This is beautiful

As someone who—after a disabling Covid infection—can no longer attend protests, volunteer, lend my film skills to environmental groups, help my neighborhood’s anti-ICE efforts, etc, please wear a mask tomorrow!

Among the many disappointments the pandemic brought was the realization that many musicians aren't particularly concerned for the well being of themselves and their fans. What would be more anti-establishment than standing up for the rights and well-being of the disabled?

I am convinced that the pandemic will lead to 2 paradigm shifts. The first, as described in this article, is a reconceptualisation of pathogens as not just common causes of acute illness, but also common causes of chronic illness. The second will be the end of droplet dogma time.com/article/2026...
