You could just talk about Jim Crow. I promise you, there's no need to leave America's shores to talk about life in a fascist state

Police Said They Surveilled Woman Who Had an Abortion for Her 'Safety.' Court Records Show They Considered Charging Her With a Crime Court records show that the narrative Flock and a Texas Sheriff's Office has told the public isn't the whole story, and that police were conducting a 'death investigation' into the abortion.

ACAB includes you and your doorbell camera:

"texas deputies did investigate this woman's abortion as a ‘death investigation,’ they did use flock safety’s ALPR network to track her down, and they did consult prosecutors about charging her."

Megyn Kelly has now made multiple denigrating posts about me across X, YouTube, her podcast so I’m sharing this. Unlike her, I don't perform dislike and disdain in public,then become my real self when the cameras are off. That's the definition of the grift she accuses me of;I find it profoundly sad.

This is the logic we agreed to live by when we agreed to let ‘er rip on covid. If you get sick, if you die, that’s no one’s problem but yours. As I’ve said from the beginning, this is an anti-societal choice that isn’t containable. Disregard for health safety was never going to just stick to Covid.

After the Brown v. Board decision, white people across the South opened hundreds of private schools.

70+ years later, most of the ones still open in Alabama’s Black Belt remain overwhelmingly white.

In this town, one school keeps kids divided.

Now’s a great time to cancel Paramount Plus if you haven’t already.

They still haven’t reinstated Colbert who was cancelled for rightfully pointing out that CBS took a bribe. They bent a knee.

Now they’ve made Bari Weiss, notorious misinformation spreader, the head of CBS News.

Cancel. Now.

Researchers in Spain assessed over 190,000 participants, using data from a public health research network, in a study published in the journal Vaccines. They found that Long COVID prevalence was three to 10 times higher in individuals with three or more reported infections (about 600 people in the dataset) than in those with only one infection. They also found that the number of thrombotic events, including strokes and pulmonary embolisms, in people under 60 doubled from 2020 to 2024, in both people who were and weren’t vaccinated. The authors concluded that policymakers should prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and that healthcare workers should continue wearing protective masks.

A new RECOVER study published in JAMA found that olfactory dysfunction, or changes to sense of smell, occurred in people after SARS-CoV-2 infection, even in those who didn’t report changes. The study included 3,525 participants and formally tested 40 different smells. Researchers found that 66% of previously-infected participants without self-reported change or loss also had olfactory dysfunction, and that dysfunction coincided with cognitive deficits. The authors wrote that their findings corroborated other studies that people underestimate their loss of smell following COVID-19.

A behavioral trial at Columbia University (LONG-CALM) is assessing a vague “mindfulness intervention” for Long COVID. The clinicaltrials.gov page states that participants will view a series of recorded “mindfulness sessions” which were “created by the study team” for eight weeks. The study aims to enroll 400 participants, who will also complete surveys about their symptoms. Mindfulness has been heavily criticized as a treatment for Long COVID by leading researchers and people with the disease. While it can help reduce stress, it has been weaponized against people with chronic illnesses and taken research funding away from trials assessing potential root causes, including immune dysregulation, viral persistence, reactivated viruses, and more.

The language of non-consent around AI is really telling. "It's too late to be scared." "It's here whether we want it or not." "You'll have to learn to work with it." "You can't fight the inevitable."

All just variations of "you're not allowed to say no." Creepy technology made by creepy people.
