“Post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection encompass…[cardiovascular]…abnormalities [that] occur even in previously healthy, non-hospitalized individuals, indicating that long COVID’s cardiovascular impact extends beyond the severely ill subset & poses a broader, population-level challenge.”

‘Dark, like our future’: Iranians describe scenes of catastrophe after Tehran’s oil depots bombed Residents report terror of smoke-filled city, from potentially toxic rain, air and water to food scarcity and difficulty of escape

“Tehran is burning. And smoke has filled the streets. It’s impossible to drive out of the city right now and even with the windows closed, heavy smoke is making its way inside."

Read every word.

That said, I'm gonna hit the hay.

Nighty night peeps x

The people who think they've bunkered their computers and are safe from surveillance don't know about roundabout-surveillance: anyone they communicate with is being surveilled. It's not a couple of cops trying to get info from others, it's automatized algorithmic search of anything relating to you.

How Israeli feminism is used to justify genocidal wars Female fighter pilots are now being celebrated for their role in destroying Iran, while women in Gaza struggle to survive

This is the inevitable result of enshrining identity as the cornerstone of neoliberal politics. This is what capitalists and imperialists would present to you as progress.

It's not an accident that every election boils down to a "choice" between either a neoliberal, or a Nazi. If the Nazi wasn't on the ballot, there would be no mechanism to compel anyone to ever vote for a neoliberal.

I think likewise.

They are telling us to our face that bombing children is freeing them.

A sick country utterly beyond redemption or reform

At this point, Labour could merge with Reform without raising any eyebrow.

People should be advised to use respirators in public spaces.

These are the worst, the normalizers, the enablers, the bothsidesers...

On a side note, it's pathetic people condemn petty bank robbers while forgetting that the banks/insurance/corporate/real estate/tax havens/weapons manufacturers elites are the biggest thieves who are ransacking the planet's resources, genociding entire populations to get wealthier and wealthier.

LLM's inherently lack teleological thinking. They output the statistically most probable next thing.

Without teleological thinking, making coffee would become a chaotic blur of activity that only has a chance of resulting in a pot of fresh coffee.

More bad news for humanity. People claim to want to stop global warming but, as with COVID, they don't want to be inconvenienced or have less FUN to accomplish that. Just as we should be demanding clean air, we should be demanding that corporations change their behavior. Less plastic, for starters.

Iran Red Crescent says 6,668 civilian sites targeted in US-Israeli attacks The Iranian Red Crescent Society said that 6,668 civilian locations have been targeted in attacks carried out by the US and Israel, including thousands of homes and dozens of public service facilit…

This is the lesson that Israel learned from Gaza. The world will do nothing as they bomb schools, hospitals, and apartment buildings.

At any given moment.
Maybe we should prepare to say our farewells or else.

People need to understand that if democracy were a real thing, the worst people in the world wouldn't be occupying every position of power in the US. There's a reason why everyone in office is horrible, and all of the alternatives are terrible, too. This isn't democracy, it's the illusion of choice.

I am absolutely convinced that one of the reasons our imperialism continues unchecked year after year is because white suburbs never see the consequences. They're not occupied by soldiers or bombed by munitions. Even school shootings are just a fact of life, so dead people abroad barely register.

It is still happening. No country is stepping in. Cuba has helped so many movements and people around the world and they are being abandoned to die

Polio spreading in America
2026 just keep on giving

“How low do they want to go?” #ukpol #labour

Why? We need to cancel this man's government contracts and tax him into oblivion.

Why are they creating hype around nothing but absurdity based on random vibes? This is all so ridiculous.

How AI anxiety can even be assessed? Vital signs (body temperature, pulse rate, respiration rate, blood pressure), sleeping disorders, difficulty in focusing on tasks, fear, sleeping patterns?
Can any of those be assessed? How they diagnose algorithms and shifts of coding for a human health issue?

Why are Labour focusing on AI but telling young people that the Arts aren’t a good industry to go into? @teamlabouruk.bsky.social @libdems.org.uk @greenparty.org.uk @plaidcymru.bsky.social
AI accounts for £11.8 bn & 86k jobs.
Creative industry: £125 bn & 2.4 million jobs. #FundtheArts

At least 13 hospitals and health facilities hit during attacks on Iran, WHO says Global health body investigating reports that four medics are among the 1,230 people killed in Iran since start of war

The US and Israel have bombed at least 13 hospitals and health facilities in Iran and one in Lebanon.

"This is a life and death story for the UK – so why is it being brushed under the carpet?"

Healthy Life Expectancy at Birth Plummeting. 📉

It is a hideous scandal that they can publish a chart as obvious as this and not even mention the words 'covid infections'.
