Co-signed. Before LC, I'd go on 150km bicycle rides for fun. After, I'm doing well if I can leave home twice in a week.

Absolutely. So many of the supposed "masculine" role models seem to be just what I'd call wankers or dickheads - guys who have failed at a more healthy masculinity.

I was expecting a light swashbuckling pirate adventure, but there's more going on here...

Yep, there's a pretty solid evidence base for that. Fun times ahead!

The poll Q in full is "Allow parents to make medical decisions for their minor children under 18, including whether or not to vaccinate their children against measles, polio, and other diseases", which reads like it's intended to skew yes. But it's still wild to see polio and say yes please.

And if you've got a health condition that means you need to mask during the ongoing pandemic... Tough luck, I guess.

Thanks for your reporting on this. It's good to see more of a focus on clinical trials, and that they've secured their funding to 2029 (smart to get in before Dr Bhattacharya takes over and decides Long Covid isn't real). Would of course always love more $, but some is better than none.
