Brendonowicz (Wears an N95) ☭🩺 #MedicareForAll

You cannot hate this and be fine with corporations ingesting all of our academic work to create their “ai” products

Seriously. I am seeing the military ban used in court by transphobic lawyers to attack trans people as dishonorable and untrustworthy on a regular basis.

CDC: Heat map and high transmission PMC: 1 in 56 estimate

The CDC has California surging with "High" transmission.

PMC estimates 1 in 56 actively infectious statewide (Aug 8).

Good news -- you can protect yourself!
✅#MaskUp w/N95
✅Get vaccinated if able
✅Ask about pemivibart if immunocompromised
✅Clean the air
✅Test serially

Emory University shooting live: Suspect dead and cop killed Police are reportedly working on the theory that the CDC was the suspect’s target, who ‘blamed his illness on the Covid-19 vaccine,’ according to an unconfirmed report

The police think that the man who killed a police officer at Emory University today was seeking revenge on the CDC. He had an unspecified illness that he believed was caused by the COVID19 vaccine.

Thanks to @jonsam1961b.bsky.social for the heads up.

I’ll be honest making stupid eel animations is the most fun I’ve had in a while lol

If only we had people making public health decisions whose careers didn't revolve around their fear of being proven wrong by widespread respirator use.

Need for awareness and surveillance of long-term post-COVID neurodegenerative disorders. A position paper from the neuroCOVID‐19 task force of the European Academy of Neurology

Important paper by members of the European Academy of Neurology. "Healthcare systems should be aware of, and be prepared for a potential increase in the incidence of neurodegenerative diseases in the upcoming years." What has been the state of surveillance and awareness so far? #NeuroCovid

Them: If you don't do your safety infection control training you won't be able to see patients next week.

Me: Go on...

THIS! This is why it's so maddening when people say "you can't mask forever" when it is provably their fault for stopping precautions too early

What if everyone had masked up? Analysis of app data has an answer Modelling study based on almost 250,000 positive COVID-19 tests in the United Kingdom shows that universal masking could have cut transmission markedly.

UK: What if everyone had masked up? Analysis of app data has the answer:
"Respirators would have dropped the rate of COVID transmission by an estimated factor of 9, compared with 0.6 for surgical masks. A factor of 9 is enough to put SARS-COV-2 into exponential decay!

We were just talking in our clinic meeting about how both the destruction of unions in the VA and the complete Project 2025 politicization of all grants was just yesterday, and I felt a little better about just lying on the floor defeated at the end of the day.

At some point, you just have to acknowledge that they are not clueless but complicit

From what I've seen on r/HermanCainAward and r/ShitMomGroupsSay, there very much are places for conservative women to gather online. That place is Facebook.

here's the place for conservative women to gather online

Yeah, I’m biased because one of the main interventions I do (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is anti-pharma in that some people can go without oral antidepressants for a year or more. Most of the good research comes from Canada and China, where pharma is not viewed as profit for the GDP.

I think the “non-pharmaceutical” is the keyword here: pharma owns our govt and the media and they will always oppose non pharma interventions. Anyone buying into the pharma agenda is a sucker. We eradicated a strain of the flu from the earth!

Again for anyone suggesting that physical mitigations don't work, especially fools that fund nonsense studies that don't use things like HEPA filters properly. You're going to have a hard time explaining this.

It Looks Like a School Bathroom Smoke Detector. A Teen Hacker Showed It Could Be an Audio Bug A pair of hackers found that a vape detector often found in high school bathrooms contained microphones—and security weaknesses that could allow someone to turn it into a secret listening device.

He learned that the Halo 3C goes beyond detecting smoke and vaping. It also has a microphone for “aggression detection,” gunshots, and keywords such as someone calling for help.

literally all eggs in people woth ovaries are produced before they are born

this explicitly argues that newborns are "women"

and we should point this out

because it is both evidential that they do not know any real biology, and that their forced categorizing harms children

🎯💯

their ideology is white male christian etc supremacy, and it's very coherent if you watch what they do

the incoherence comes from all the other things they say, rationales for their bigotry, which they don't mean and their followers know they don't mean

but they promise supremacy and deliver it

It’s not as if rule-following has paid off for any generation since boomers, so this seems like natural adaptation. Between the pandemic, mass shootings, and impending climate collapse, the younger folks probably *should* seem neurotic because nothing in this world is addressing these issues.

Andy Biggs (R, Gilead) has a 25-year old daughter, Mylie, who said:

“Honestly, I don’t know if I would vote for any female. I don’t know if a female should be in office. … I don’t think women should hold office in general. That's a man’s position”.

She is now running for the AZ Senate.

I am incandescent with fury and disgust

My fellow USAnians:

Labour in the UK is a center-left party not too dissimilar to our Democrats.

Several prominent Democrats, including Newsom and Buttigieg, are now tacking in the direction of transphobia.

IF WE DO NOT PUSH BACK, WE RISK REPEATING THIS HERE IN THE US.
