Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

ICYMI: Microsoft’s charge “implies a more than $12 billion quarterly loss at OpenAI, said Firoz Valliji, an analyst at Bernstein.” That “would mark one of the largest single-quarter losses for a tech company in history.” @jessefelder.bsky.social $MSFT www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

Steven Salaita got fired for saying this in *2014* "At this point, if Netanyahu appeared on TV with a necklace made from the teeth of Palestinian children, would anybody be surprised?"

🏀 NBA player Kristaps Porziņģis said he was diagnosed with #POTS COVID-19 has led to an enormous rise in cases, since POTS can be triggered by infections, but most mainstream media omitted any mention of COVID while contextualizing POTS in articles about Porziņģis. thesicktimes.org/2025/10/25/n...

🚨⚠️ Heart attacks🫀in people under 40 have risen 66% since the beginning of the COVID pandemic. COVID is a vascular disease COVID can affect the cardiovascular system by increasing blood stickiness, which raises the likelihood of blood clot formation. www.dailymail.co.uk/health/artic...

The NBA ignored COVID this season, leading to a league plagued by injuries: the Celtics, Bucks, and Pacers each lost players to a torn Achilles, and Porzingis struggles with long COVID. This study hints at what is happening.

The government shutdown is a fight between Trump and democrats, but is also emblematic of the tenuous nature of the welfare state. The duopoly parties are both committed to carrying out austerity policies on behalf of the ruling class. Read my latest. www.blackagendareport.com/shutdown-and...

The number of good-great NBA players out for the year or missing the start of the season seems unprecedented . . .

How do we maintain our Psychic Militancy amid the "ceasefire" in Gaza? How do we maintain it when we face repression for organizing or taking a stand? We'll talk to Dr. Lara Sheehi on @makcapitalism.bsky.social about that and more Wednesday at 10 AM ET - www.youtube.com/live/8LVrHOQ...

Another bummer of a post from me, about how expensive it is to be laid off. 📚 acrlog.org/2025/10/24/t... I'm sorry to keep existing and keep being miserable so publicly. I wish I were not doing either of those.

Yet more evidence we live in a dictatorship of capital: A sitting billionaire governor makes over $10 million in annual income, including $1 million in gambling wins

remote work is like birth control or UBI atp where there’s overwhelming research consensus they improve quality of life for people they apply to, yet access is impeded or blocked by the ruling class because the thought of marginalized ppl having rich full lives makes steam come out their ears

Long Covid Is Real — And It’s Changing an Entire Generation Hundreds of thousands of kids in America are struggling with an illness that many doctors and schools refuse to recognize.e Feature: www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

RN the people who add the least value (and whose work could probably be more easily automated) are trying to replace the value-adding labor of actual workers with earth-destroying machines. And we're already in a crisis of workers not being able to afford the goods and services being created

The number one chronic health condition among kiddos is now Long COVID. Long COVID is impacting anywhere between 5 to 10 percent of the population, and it doesn't matter if you get vaccinated. Long COVID will still fuck up your world.

Despite being a strong program, I felt like UNC was almost embarrassed to have a library science program. We were disappeared, to a large extent, in favor of "iSchool" branding

Do not be lulled into thinking that the ongoing pandemic of Covid-19 has abated. The general situation of unrestrained spread continues to be alarmingly dangerous, with contagion, illness, and mortality rampant everywhere. Maintaining the utmost caution is still an absolute necessity. #COVID19

So many people out there dying of long COVID who don’t even know that’s what’s wrong.

And, this, folks, is why the entire concept of "ethical AI use" or "critical AI" in education is a scam. The alibi is blown: teaching "critical AI" was always just a backdoor to outsourcing learning to AI. www.404media.co/teachers-are...

The laws of capitalism lead to monopoly. It's independent of the personal feelings of any CEO or corporate executive.

Most parents are allowing their children to suffer repeated infections of Covid-19, and as a result, many of those children are likely to experience serious illness and early mortality. Why are most parents not taking action to keep their children safe from the extreme harm of Covid-19? #COVID19

Covid-19 has not gone away. Covid-19 has not diminished. Covid-19 has not become a mild disease. Covid-19 has not ceased to cause mass illness and excess mortality. Covid-19 continues to be a constant danger to every human life, and should be avoided at any cost. #COVID19

During the ongoing pandemic of Covid-19, we have entered a dark age of delusion, denial, and dishonesty in which unrestrained disease is being willingly embraced by the unthinking masses, resulting in irreparable damage to the collective well-being of the human community. #COVID19 #disease #damage

New Study Indicates Children’s Risk of Long COVID Could Double Following a Second Infection – The Lancet Infectious Diseases A groundbreaking new study, published in the prestigious journal The Lancet Infectious Diseases, has unveiled compelling evidence regarding the increased risk of long COVID…

While totally spontaneous, the whole conversation was great, but if you want to watch a snippet first, here's Hiram's initial remarks youtu.be/GLeaq-Dk-y8?...

I am so tired of this ongoing pandemic, folks. I am even more tired of the willful denial of it by the vast majority of people. I am tired. But I am awake. And my resolve is unwavering.

Unfortunately, Covid-19 is not going to wait patiently for the masses to wise up regarding the irreparable damage that results from repeated infections. With no safety measures currently being enforced, Covid-19 will not delay in taking full advantage of the situation. #COVID19

The world of 2019, the world as it was before Covid-19 took hold, is gone forever. Wishful thinking and playacting will not bring it back. We are now living in a world of unrestrained disease, a world in which strong, uncompromising measures of caution and safety are urgently necessary. #COVID19
