Mom what is the tiny human doing?

YOU MUST HAVE SOMETHING TO EAT TO HAVE STRENGTH TO GRIND YOUR ENEMIES' BONES TO DUST.

I think bluesky would be roughly 300% better if people here were capable of reading “this is an assessment of the empirical reality of a situation” without assuming it comes with an implicit “and therefore I endorse the reality of that situation”

According to research
on how long diseases
“linger in the air—
after an infected person
has left the room,”
measles can linger for two hours,
and the flu for one,
Covid can linger for three hours,
and norovirus for two,
so if you are lingering
in a room for hours:
wear a mask.

A new study finds
if you want to protect yourself
from Alzheimer’s
you should practice
cognitive speed training,
and considering
that a recent study found
“Long Covid linked
to Alzheimer’s disease mechanisms”
if you want to protect yourself
you should also practice
wearing a mask.

What you need to know about Texas ICE detention deaths Last year was the deadliest year in ICE detention in two decades. Nearly a quarter of those deaths occurred in Texas.

“The detention staffers blocked the security cameras and grabbed my testicles and firmly crushed them.”

They are crushing testicles in ICE camps.

One detainee was suffocated to death & the regime rushed to deport the witnesses who saw him killed.

This is a humanitarian crisis.

Photo of four athletes seated at a press conference table, all wearing face masks, with microphones in front of them. A blue backdrop behind them shows sponsor logos (including P&G, Samsung, TCL, Visa, Salomon) and Olympic branding. WHN branding “whn.global” appears at the top left. Large yellow text over the lower half reads: “Olympians are still masking in 2026” Smaller white text below reads: “At the Winter Olympics in Italy, some athletes are still masking and isolating, aware that COVID and other respiratory illnesses are not over.” Footer text: “The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world.”

At parts of the Winter Olympics in Italy, COVID precautions remain, grounded in the reality that respiratory illness is still circulating. When your lungs are your livelihood, prevention is part of performance.

LOL.... i wanted to hear JD getting booed at the Olympics and when i searched for it on YouTube i got this

‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." …
She offered me $2600 to self-deport.
I refused.
I wanted to talk to my attorney.
They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’

My brother-in-law
keeps sending me documents
(redacted documents)
which he insists prove
“an elite conspiracy
to thin out humanity,”
so I asked
if that means he plans
on trying to protect himself
and others
from catching Covid,
and in response
he changed the subject.

On one hand, you are right. Laura Scudder's and similar peanut butters taste better, and are healthier for me.

OTOH, I can keep the generic crap in my office desk drawer for months without spoilage, and spoon a dollop of protein and fat (and misc chemicals) into my mouth as needed. Convenient!

It's a good thing that the DOJ is a fair and impartial arbitrator, and not at all subject to the President's influence. [straight face]

The other night I learned that the song's actual lyric is "I'm in love with a strict machine."

After some deliberation, I have chosen to continue to hear it as "I'm in love with a state machine."

FSM need all the love they can get! (And they need all the love that they can't get, too)

OK, this one is only for real West Coast peanut butter heads

Even though they have the exact same ingredients in the exact same proportions, Laura Scudder's tastes saltier than Adams and is therefore better. Who's with me??

cobalt 100% agrees. She prefers Laura Scudder's over Adams, hands down.

I cannot opine, since I am happy enough to be eating generic crap with ingredients which sound more like shampoo than peanut butter.

When you DONT fight, you DONT WIN. Next up?

Apologies, my friend,
I know in this moment
you are being inundated
with recommendations
for what you can do
to protect yourself
from the dangers ahead,
but please, my friend,
wear a mask,
for their are dangers ahead,
yes, but there are also
dangers around your head.

When he came to my office
he gestured at the machine
by my desk and asked:
“what’s that?”
“an air purifier,” I replied,
and with a confused face
he asked “why do you…”
but before he could finish
asking his question
he began coughing,
and as he coughed
the machine hummed quietly.

When you see the news
about the Nipah outbreak
it is important to remember
that should this spread:
we are ready.
Yes, thanks to the experience
of recent years
people and governments
and institutions and businesses
are quite ready,
they are quite ready to just ignore it.

I confess, when I read
studies that find: “Compared
with influenza and dengue,
COVID-19 stands out
for both the breadth
and severity
of its neurological manifestations,
as well as the persistence
of symptoms in many survivors,”
I worry none of us
can yet call ourselves survivors.

When they ask you
(and they will ask you)
how you can be
so concerned about Covid
given all of the terrible things
that are currently happening,
kindly but firmly tell them
that Covid
is one of those terrible things
that is currently happening.

When I was young
I read somewhere
that if you want
to picture the future
imagine a boot
stamping
on a human face forever,
much older now
I cannot speak
regarding forever
but in the present
you do not need
to imagine that boot,
no, you do not need
to imagine it.

Remember that Grey's Anatomy where a guy with a Nazi tattoo came in in critical condition, and Yang treated him anyway?

The modern version of that story would be about treating an ICE agent.

Another reason Democrats must stop, defund, and ultimately abolish ICE: voter suppression. ICE has forced a significant number of people of color to hide inside their homes. What if ICE patrols just outside key polling places during the midterms?

My wife, the morning poet:

"I'm cold. And I'm old. I'm cold and old, and want KITTENS."

As we waited to check out
the man in front of me
looked at my cart and asked:
“you also getting ready
for what’s coming?”
and I nodded
at which point he asked
“what’s with the mask?”
and I responded
“I’m staying ready
for what’s already happening.”

Tech "I just had COVID again a few months ago."
Me "Not good. Are you doing any vascular diagnostics to track possible vascular damage over time caused by the previous COVID infection?"
Tech "Don't tell me that. Now I'm worried."
Me 😔

Is it not better to know and act to prevent or remain ignorant?

This is probably a very good article.

Doesn’t matter. No one should read it.

It’s published on Sensible Medicine, Prasad’s monetized MAGA/MAHA disinformation substack.

Doctors should certainly not publish anything there.

My aunt, the doctor,
told me a new joke.
She asked:

Did you hear who
the US withdrew from?

I replied:
From who?

To which she responded:
Yes, exactly,
from the WHO.

And then, after a quiet moment
in which neither of us laughed,
my aunt, the doctor,
quietly said: fuck.
