Batman spreading an important message.

There’s so much need in Minnesota right now. Businesses are closing and rent is due soon. If you want to help people here, there are links to rent relief & other vetted mutual aid funds on standwithminnesota.com. Please boost and donate what you can. Thank you 🫶🏻

Every time I hear about Davos I can’t help but think of this classic from @juliadoubleday.bsky.social 😷❄️🦠 www.thegauntlet.news/p/billionair...

I’ve been writing Popular Information for 8 years, and this is one of the most important stories I’ve ever published. This is a humanitarian crisis that has gone unreported.

AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

The US is collapsing into fascism and going to war with Europe and the opposition party is like “I’m here to talk about the important thing: how your average grocery bill has risen by two dollars over the last year, which I also have no plan or ability to fix”

What's Up With COVID and What We Can Do About It: 2026 Edition I've thoroughly updated this public health propaganda zine! With new information about: Adjusting mask fit CO2 monitoring Improving ventilation for infection control Read at newlevant.com/COVIDzine or in the thread below 👇

Conclusion: in my view, we are only at the beginning of the real epidemic. No health system can withstand simultaneous growth of >900 diseases. It's just a matter of time. We will need Dr. Leonardi's guidance more than ever. @fitterhappieraj.bsky.social 7/x bsky.app/profile/jukk...

AAHH

Sickness, Disability, and Death in NHS England Staff The three graphs that *every person* needs to see. The question that every single person needs to ask their government: What are you doing to protect me from Covid infection?

The incompetents who botched COVID and SARS are grabbing for power over *everything*: environmental issues, air quality, national parks, drinking water, trust in institutions, perceptions of neighbourhood safety after dark, employment, housing, youth policy, poverty, sense of community, you name it.

Don't forget folks: allowing yourself a vision of the future you'd want for our country and planet - not the one you'd settle for, not the one you fear, but the future of your dreams - isn't naive, it's a vital cognitive skill. That's how we articulate what we most value. What's worth fighting for.

3/3: For Scalzi / Interdependency fans who come across this: help @scalzi.com with validation? These same failures will drive the H5N1 response & kill millions. It's all verifiable using publicly available information. The sources are linked in the PDF. I'd love to be wrong. I don't think I am.

2/3: Here's a recording of the actual talk itself. It's over an hour - I realize that's a lot, which is why I led with the slides to skim over and hopefully pull you in. That *is* the short version - and still only covers the tip of the science iceberg. Things are really bad and no one's listening.

1/3: @scalzi.com, just reading The Collapsing Empire, and reflecting on the whole "human tendency to ignore or deny facts" until it's too late bit (p280). With H5N1 and avoidable, collapse-level mass casualties on the horizon, I have a PDF slide deck that would benefit from your comms advice.

Public Health had one job. Take away the keys.

To be clear, "WE" here means "public health and infection prevention and control (IPC) physicians" and the reason why the did nothing is because what needs to be done is admit this is an engineering problem the way clean water is, and they aren't willing to do that b/c it costs them power and status

This week, so-called progressive media dudes used their huge platforms to mock people who mask. You know what's actually progressive? Documenting the Long COVID crisis without minimizing or gaslighting. Support the serious independent media we all deserve! Help fund @thesicktimes.org into 2026 😷💸⬇️

Here’s to 2026

Policy on health is clearly broken - politicized, out of touch, reactive and slow. My recent keynote at the Canadian Biosafety Symposium took a big-picture look at how and why that's happening, and how we can turn things around. Here's a general-audience version, recorded at the Deep River library.

I only ever saved one of my hit tweets and I’m reposting it here because my god I’m tired.

You may have seen masks mentioned a lot lately, especially as the spread of multiple viruses is currently high, so it’s important to know the facts in order to protect yourself and others. Learn more and stay safe this respiratory virus season and beyond! (Part 1/2)

Unions representing doctors and nurses in the UK are asking the government to recognise the long term impacts of COVID-19 on health and care workers. www.bma.org.uk/bma-media-ce... Screenshot from latest Science for ME weekly update #LongCovid #PASC #PwLC #postcovid #postcovid19 #COVID19 #COVID

Age-gating mandates are reshaping the internet in ways that are invasive, dangerous, and deeply unnecessary. But users are not powerless! We can challenge these laws, protect our digital rights, and build a safer digital world for all internet users, no matter their ages. Learn more at EFF.org/Age.

As theological assertions go, "Humanity's innate corruption means all its machines are invariably put to evil use" feels almost unobjectionable

Nearly everyone has made a choice of carelessly surrendering to uncontrolled Covid-19: dismissing caution, shunning respirator masks and other safety measures, and allowing themselves to be repeatedly infected. Nearly everyone has made the wrong choice. #COVID19

*Wipes forearm across his forehead* Whew, that was a close one.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Discussion of the difference between the protection provided by medical masks and N95s from the same document. The document on how infection control leaders 🤬'ed up SARS-CoV-1, that they chose to ignore and 🤬'ed up SARS-CoV-2. The resulting commitment bias is why you don't see N95s in hospitals.

The way tech companies constantly do stuff that nobody asked for really tells you a lot about their bigger ideology. They tell themselves that you will like it over time. What they mean is you’ll learn to endure it, or you’ll give up. quality of UI is not actually anywhere on their radar

new iOS update is sleek and also defaults in Music to “you must want songs transition as they would on a dance floor.” so many people will wonder why they can’t just listen to an album. Apps > Music > Song Transitions > toggle off.

Every member of the human community is affected by the ongoing pandemic of Covid-19, regardless of whether or not they are willing to admit it. We are all in the pandemic together, and our collective survival depends on acknowledging the extreme threat posed by uncontrolled Covid-19. #COVID19

How do you protect yourself from viruses in a world that has largely given up? New work has confirmed the use of HOCl as a respiratory therapy and intervention. Here's some other things to do, along with N95 masks and air purifiers. www.the-sentinel-intelligence.net/an-illustrat...

I've loved Sigourney Weaver ever since one of my all-time favorite movies, ALIEN. Couldn't resist going all fanboy on her yesterday & asking for a photo. She told me she's now in the cast of The Mandalorian. Talk about bad timing: she's now in that galaxy far, far away, years after I checked out! 💔

Got flu problems? Try this.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

It costs next to nothing to wear a mask It’s one of the best investments you can make in your long term health Covid is still here & still disabling It only takes one infection to change your life forever Masks, especially N95s, are great protection! If you can’t afford one try a mask block:

"White House has proposed shutting down HIV prevention and surveillance at the CDC." House Republicans' "proposal would eliminate the federal program [..] that has strived to [..] reduce new HIV infections." "[A]lso want to axe core parts of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program." #USA #Healthcare

Remember last year when we said we would drop The Tribune's paywall if we raised enough money to support the transition to free? About that… 😁
