I am looking forward to this!

We are everywhere. We are inevitable. Even if we are silenced and suppressed, we will always be.

The latest Covid variant (razor blade throat) seems to have increased transmissibility resulting in more people ending up in hospital. Most healthcare systems haven’t adopted clean air standards or mandatory respirator use. Hospital acquired COVID has a 10% fatality rate My guide to avoiding it

Running up that hill

Everyone who has examined the data realizes that vote by mail has been incredibly successful in Oregon -- it increases turnout, access, once initial costs are pro-rated over time it is less costly. Most importantly, there's virtually no record of any fraud. Every state should adopt this system.

We were likely years away from making HIV a thing of the past. Humanity triumphing over one of its worst diseases Instead we'll live in a world where people continue getting sick because of a greedy few who didn't want to pay their fair share of taxes

I was at this town hall and saw her say this live. My jaw almost hit the floor. I am running against her to get her the hell out of the senate.

Absolutely devastating and affecting a lot of my colleagues here at @scripps.edu who dedicated their whole careers to coming up with a vaccine for HIV. Which, btw, outside HIV, has led to a whole field of much better vaccines and vaccine platforms.

too many people have been conditioned by corporate social media into believing that if you do something and don’t post about it online, it doesn’t count. you must destroy the Mark Zuckerberg who squats within your head.

On the subject of my last reposts: it’s always safer to donate to established nonprofits and NGOs.

I spent 72 hours checking the posting times of every Gazan account I saw fundraising. More than 2/3 of them were inconsistent with Gaza but consistent with Myanmar or Cambodia, where hundreds of thousands of people are trafficked into doing scam work under threat of violence or death.

this is the thing the Hashtag Resistance Performative Posters miss. "Oh well what are YOU doing to fight this administration?!" what are you, a fucking cop? I talk about my legal advocacy because that's filed publicly under my wallet name and that's it.

scrrreeeeeaaaaaaammmmmmm (It’s not an outbreak yet, just one person who came back from an international trip. But still: scream.)

In San Antonio today, plainclothes ICE officers (not masked this time) arrested, handcuffed, and zip-tied a family of five (yes, ALL of them, including the little children) coming out of their immigration court hearing — which ICE had just had dismissed. www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/a...

In some ways an even worse indictment than the use of AI is that simply having a couple of humans read and fact check the report before release cld have mostly or entirely removed the evidence. Just sloppy dumbfucks, basically. The guys who are getting rid of all the vaccines.

Ok so I didn’t really need that in my adult beverage but thanks for sharing

As I've said before, what we're dealing with fundamentally here, and have been dealing with for some time, is evil. Our political norms and political media prohibit talking about a mainstream political faction this way. But it is the truth. It needs to be known and it needs to be said.

Daily bunny no.2970 makes a perfect cup of tea

A useful thread.

Yesterday, I saw Musk's biographer Walter Isaacson wheeled out for a TV interview under the chyron "Musk: Back to Business" and it really feels like the media is entirely happy to go along with a concerted PR effort to increase Musk's finances by downplaying what he did to your government.

I’m so ready. Bring me a plant and you better be ready to mash X to skip through dialogue as I tell you allllll about it.

Oh my god, it’s the Gumroad guy. Artists were (rightfully) angry when Gumroad abruptly stopped allowing adult content a couple months back & I saw people bringing up the DOGE connection, but it’s still wild to read about.

This team’s work is why we know how disinformation spread on Twitter. When I teach my class on conspiracy theories, Kate Starbird’s work always sparks the most “aha!” moments. It’s hard to describe how demoralizing this all feels, esp (as she says) for jr scholars whose ideas won’t get a chance

California isn't conceding because it's frightened of Trump, it's conceding because fundamentally the gov and most of the "blue" legislators are the putrid center right Democrats musing about how being too nice to trans people is the issue that lost the presidential election.

short call script for cis women: “I’m a cisgender woman, and I don’t want trans girls forced to out themselves or be excluded from athletics. This will increase bullying and hate crimes. If you want to help support women athletes, reverse your proposed budget cuts impacting CSU athletics programs.”

Right, *you are always trusting somebody*. You can't function totally independently. "Trust" isn't declining - it's getting reshuffled. If you don't trust Fauci, you trust RFK. If you don't trust the NYT, you trust Joe Rogan. "Do you own research" = trusting who created the research you find!

Christ, why must we suffer this moron in charge.
