in short, this is such incompetent & unclear comms that it could be interpreted as a political endorsement from Bluesky PBLLC in favor of ICE’s unconstitutional racist raids against Americans.

The latest Australian Respiratory Surveillance Report confirms my earlier speculation that the new "clade K" (H3N2 clade 2a.3a.1, subclade K) is driving the "unusual" second wave of influenza in Australia.

So will these organisations now take any money, as will inevitably offered by wealthy & powerful people, to defend themselves against the Good Law Project?

Haskell IS a Great Language for Data Science I’ve been learning Haskell for a few years now and I am really liking a lot of the features, not least the strong typing and functional approach. I thought it was lacking some of the things I missed from R until I found the dataHaskell project. In this post I’ll demonstrate some of the features and explain why I think it makes for a good (great?) data science language.

Perhaps you saw the post series "Python is not a great language for data science"... well, here's

PRESS RELEASE Groundbreaking myalgic encephalomyelitis study identifies over 250 core genes, shared biology with long COVID, and dozens of drug repurposing opportunities The study reinforces that ME is a complex multisystemic condition with a clear genetic basis and lays the foundation for future clinical trials that could be faster to recruit and more likely to succeed Read our FAQs OXFORD, UK – 4 December 2025 – PrecisionLife today announced new findings from the most detailed genetic analysis of myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME, also known as ME/CFS) ever conducted, revealing more than 250 core genes associated with the disease, including 76 genes linked with long COVID, and uncovering dozens of drug repurposing opportunities supported by genetic biomarker tests, offering potential for faster and lower-risk routes to developing targeted treatments. The study, now available as a pre-print and submitted for peer review, applied PrecisionLife's AI-led combinatorial analytics platform to analyze genomic data from two DecodeME cohorts together with UK Biobank to confirm reproducibility of results across three independent datasets. The analysis identified 7,555 genetic variants (including the 8 identified by the recent DecodeME GWAS study ), that were consistently associated with increased disease risk in three different populations.

COVID myths, which include anti-vax nonsense promoted by the current FDA, have been the tip of the spear for fascist recruitment.

They offered far-right elements entry into circles they previously were unable to penetrate.

Thanks Tommy for sharing our work. we recently updated some of our core packages in Python, especially Genomic Ranges that can perform some very fast interval operations, more here - bsky.app/profile/jkan...

And let us never forget that the WHO recommended "rubbing your hands" if you couldn't wash them to try reduce the spread of Covid.

And no-one was fired for it.

230,000 Deaths and the ‘Calculated Silence’ of the Medical Establishment About the COVID Inquiry The Covid Inquiry Report is a devastating critique of the medical establishment which led the UK to the worst public health disaster in a century, argues Anthony Costello

Hard-hitting truth-telling from UCL Prof Anthony Costello….

“The Covid Public Inquiry is a devastating critique of medical advisers, civil servants and politicians who led the UK to the worst public health disaster in a century. More than 230,000 deaths.”

I remember the time when everyone hated GMO, not because of what it is, but because of the business practices of the corporations pushing it, like Monsanto as an example.

AI is exactly the same, the problem is the ethics of the big companies, not the inherent technology.

6 years today the first COVID case was identified in a man in Wuhan marking the beginning of a global pandemic that changed the world. We are way less prepared today to face another pandemic than we were back then. This fact makes me sad.

COVID can cause a long-lasting breakdown of immune homeostasis, where elevated IL-7 and IL-15 keep T cells activated for months after the acute infection. In some people this dysregulated state becomes persistent - and may directly contribute to long COVID🧵
