Mask up NOW “A new COVID variant, known as NB.1.8.1, has made landfall in the United States, and it's more transmissible than other variants.” www.huffpost.com/entry/the-mo...

Last repost, but really ALWAYS: It is not too late to start masking again if you've stopped. It is never too late to start. Wearing a good mask (N95 or something else with a good seal) in public (transit, stores, offices, healthcare) lowers transmission, and every infection you prevent is a win.

RFK Jr's "MAHA" report is filled with references to studies that literally do not exist, or that completely misinterpret the studies' findings. “We did not publish a paper.. on this topic with that co-author group, or with that title,” says one cited researcher. www.notus.org/health-scien...

Britain has no idea - in terms of its self-image, not economists obviously - what economy it actually has One of my favourite facts to point out is: at over £8bn annually, the videogames industry is more than twice as valuable to the UK economy as fishing and steel combined.

I actually have an answer to why it was different. It was different because the Napalm Girl photograph did not actually end the war. A year before the photo was taken, a majority of Americans already believed it had been a mistake to send troops to Vietnam. www.theverge.com/cs/features/...

A huge step from HHS that is at odds with science showing significant risks for young children and pregnant women — and that directly contradicts the FDA's own publication from last week listing pregnancy as a high-risk condition that would qualify people for this fall's Covid vaccine

do I think it’s a coincidence that probably the defining children’s screen media of this generation is a single-authored fluke of success from Australia, as far outside Hollywood as it is physically possible to get? not really?

Lilo & Stitch made hundreds of millions this weekend because it had no competition and children's media is dying. "Vote with your dollar" is a cute idea until you remember there are no other film options for your dollar, and you're asking parents to deny their kids access to the movies.

"For 17 weeks, I’ve been in constant pain, going back and forth… I said from the start I felt it was cancer." "Not one doctor did the scans or blood tests I begged for whilst crying on the floor in agony. Instead, they dismissed me, gaslit me, and told me it was nothing, that I was overreacting."

Covering these meetings in which the president pushed white supremacist conspiracy theories, told blatant lies, and engaged in other unseemly behavior like Real Housewives nonsense rather than international diplomacy travesties is certainly an editorial choice one could make

On the one hand the US government is demanding that Harvard give them recordings of every single one of their students so they can be disappeared to an offshore concentration camp for Thoughtcrime. On the other Oberlin had an article about culturally insensitive bahn mis in 2015

They blame pollution but cut the EPA and clean air and water regulations. They blame poor nutrition but cut SNAP and programs to bring local produce to schools. They blame increased screen time while destroying public infrastructure that connects people. All while they take millions off healthcare.
