"They want obedient workers. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay the longer hours the reduced benefits the end of overtime and the vanishing pension" ~George Carlin

If you're asking your doctor/dentist to mask and clean the air, this is probably the article to bookmark

We got rid of an entire strain of the flu back when the world cared about clean air

It would be very healthy for human species, If there is less Discouragement.

New York mask ban update: Our advocacy efforts are working! Gov Hochul is failing at convincing lawmakers to include a proposal that criminalizes masking in the budget, and some legislative officials predict it will be dropped from budget talks as negotiations drag on. Keep calling your electeds!

RFK Jr blames diet, lifestyle & vaccines for chronic illness. Dr Oz says it’s a “patriotic duty” to lead a healthy life & be fit enough to serve in the military. Neither of them are pushing for Universal Healthcare, basic income, an end to food deserts & inequality, clean water etc. It’s eugenics

Encouraging news. 🤞 apnews.com/article/fda-...

"COVID infections are adding insult to injury." Why heart attacks are rising in young adults. Important to see the National Geographic mention the cardiovascular impacts of Covid, which are now documented in thousands of scientific publications #LongCovid

The media doesn't want you to see that it's not a jail, it's slavery.

one of the tasks of the American left is to explain to retail and service workers that this is the future that America has planned for them

Time for another digital security PSA with guitar … here’s “All the Small Things” but it’s about scrubbing metadata from your photos before you post them 🤘

Imagine if we all had a four day weekend once a week.

one thing that Democratic politicians should take note of is that the overlap between “great political optics” and “actual morally good stuff” is really big right now

We need to stop making concessions to the right bc right-wingers get mad. There’s this big effort to rewrite school closures. Even in ostensibly liberal media, we get solemnly acknowledgments that schools were closed too long. Not bc of data, but bc right wingers screamed about it long enough.

Little gentle reminder to all the human creatives out there 💪

Masking discourse is on again and I’ll just say if you see people masking when few others are it’s likely because they’ve determined that for them, in that setting, the benefit of not catching (or spreading) whatever’s going around is worth the cost of masking. It’s rarely more complicated than that

"Gothamist spoke with 10 New Yorkers with long COVID, all in their late 20s to early 40s." gothamist.com/news/shrinki...

1 in 4 marines have long covid. You’re not immune regardless of age or health.

And yet Joe Rogan puts guests on who say "Vaccines aren't actually responsible for the reduction in infectious diseases.”

Ahh lol

They are just disappearing people off the street. Having a hard time thinking about literally anything else.

New: Robert Kennedy Jr. recently proposed letting bird flu circulate through poultry farms to reach herd immunity, The idea echoes a strategy embraced by the first Trump White House. Here is a thorough history of the deadly idea. www.importantcontext.news/p/the-great-...

This, by @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social, is very informative

Language frames arguments, so this kind of stuff is crucial

To all the "during covid" people:

archive.md/NlU7w 5 Years Later, Covid still Harms T-cells (Ask your doctor for a lymphocyte subset panel and see for yourself. I had this done at Labcorp and my bloodwork looks like I have HIV- I don’t. I have Long Covid. This is 3 years after infection.)

The World Health Organization puts their estimate of people with long Covid between 10 and 20% 🤯 Mask up, there is no cure www.who.int/news-room/qu...

An H5N1 Timeline from @kkjetelina.bsky.social that I find helpful to gauge when we could be in pandemic mode. It'll be serious when there's human to human transmission. But, how will we know if people are not getting tested?

A Covid Nasal Vaccine Update open.substack.com/pub/erictopo...

Existing in a time where people who mask and take other precautions against airborne viruses are crazy and people who get sick over and over and over again are normal is the most monumentally shitty failure of public health and I hate it.

Remote work and virtual education are the future, and should be the present. We will crawl back to them, tail tucked between our legs, soon enough...
