Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

Canada is on fire. The national media is focused on building pipelines for national unity. Oil production is at record levels. We are back of the pack in the G7 for failing all our environmental goals. My latest on Canada's oil obsession. charlieangus.substack.com/p/burn-the-p...

Thailand urging holiday travellers to wear masks in the wake of the latest Covid variant Nimbus (nicknamed razor blade throat). We’re starting to see more & more media outlets discuss masking… which is highly unusual given they’ve been driving the “it’s over” narrative for years. Respirators work!

Keep talking about #MedicalGaslighting, keep sharing your stories and speaking out - It might not feel like it, but we've made a lot of progress in the last 5 years. eg: ✨People who don't have chronic illness (but can support us) are becoming familiar with the term.✨ 🧵 #neisvoid #eds #pots #pwme

Sorry for the way I had to clip it but this is just too hilarious not to share. This was on CPAC- someone added the music. He can’t enter Parliament unless he’s accompanied by a sitting MP. Notice he’s TOTALLY alone. No Ana even. 🤣🤣🤣 #cdnpoli #hilarious

Chatbots are getting crammed down our throats because, after spending so much on slop machines no one wants, the corps are bleeding money; and the most insane thing, they are building a massive resource-intensive and environmentally toxic infrastructure so chatbots can tell you wrong things.

DOGE should absolutely be subject to FOIA. It has openly claimed and exerted independent legal authority. Trump has said Elon calls shots. They aren’t policy advisors. Congress just choosing to pretend DOGE isn’t using powers delegated to others is not evidence of anything but its own incompetence.

I truly do not understand this mentality. Also, it’s not really a booster, it’s a vaccine against new strains. Just like how the influenza vaccine is. We should have the choice to get it. They shouldn’t take that away.

We are reminded that, in the fleeting time we have on this Earth, what matters is not wealth, or status, or power, or fame, but rather how well we have loved and what small part we have played in making the lives of other people better. ~ Barack Obama ♥️

Severe cuts to the National Weather Service led to the Jackson NWS going without a full-time overnight forecasters. Warnings for the 3 AM tornado that claimed at least 18 lives were delayed as a result. DOGE is killing Americans. It needs to be stopped. Science needs protection. MAGA needs a cage

The Dems saw that David Hogg was anti-gerontocracy and said his PAC might primary currently seated Dems (something a majority of Dem voters agree on rn) and they said "Fuck off forever" almost immediately, and got rid of him in a way almost custom designed to lose voters and empower the right lol.

Nearly a third of Black people who contracted COVID-19 have experienced long COVID symptoms, one study found, but are “not being taken as seriously,” said one patient.

See this? It's called a non-inferiority trial. It compares the new vaccine with the current vaccines to see if the new vaccine does better. This new vaccine did. Placebo-controlled trials are not needed to test most new vaccines. Demanding them will only reduce vaccine access. Which is the point.
