A collage of four pictures of Covid awareness billboards. The first one in the upper left corner is at night time in the winter. The long Covid billboard reads long Covid ruins lives mask up. And there is a graphic of a white N 95 mask. The billboard is on a brick pizza shop and it is brightly lit up in the nighttime. 

The second billboard in the bottom left corner is on a large brown platform and is also in winter, but in the daytime and it is a clear blue sky day. The billboard also reads long Covid ruins lives mask up and there is a graphic of a white N 95 mask. 

The third billboard is in the top right corner 

There’s a rainbow coloured crosswalk at the intersection of two streets. There is a brown brick building with large glass window panes. On the side of the building, there is a very large billboard a digital one that reads. Bright green background. With words that read COVID-19 CAUSES...
BRAIN DAMAGE
DEMENTIA
IMMUNE DAMAGE
HEART PROBLEMS
DIABETES
CHRONIC ILLNESS
N95
ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION
ANYONE CAN GET LONG COVID, EVEN KIDS.
MASK UP AND STAY SAFE. On the left side of each symptom is a small graphic of a red virus particle. There is a large red virus particle in the upper right corner. There are two men and walking separately in different directions as well as two women walking the same direction as one of the men. The sky is clear. The women are wearing black and one of the r men is wearing jeans, and a blue shirt.

The fourth billboard is in the Bottom right There is a large green digital billboard display with the words COVID-19 CAUSES...

The next Covid Awareness billboard will be something to the effect of…

β€œMask Up, Clean The Air, Protect the Kids, and Show We Care.”
#SafeSchoolsNow

If you like to help me continue my work and place some more billboards please share/donate. Every bit helps. YerAweSum!

I can't really look at the sum total of this administration's policy and do anything but conclude that it's less about causing misery and more that they have honestly internalized Malthus or something and have decided that the death of the infirm and the poor is a societal good.

MIT Backs Away From Paper Claiming Scientists Make More Discoveries with AI The retracted paper had impressed a Nobel Prize winner in economics.

This should get WIDE circulation:
MIT stating that it β€œhas no confidence in the provenance, reliability or validity of the data and has no confidence in the veracity of the research contained in the paper.”

The arguments for this are very soft and have to do with maintaining "work culture" or some shit like that. The real reason for most organizations is to justify the maintenance of expensive office space.

Robby fucking Starbuck as an "AI Bias Advisor?"

I say again: the very concept of "AI" and everything attendant to it has been pulled inside-out to become a child-voiced chittering demon, hunting me and everyone and everything I love.
