This is a quote-tweet interaction. Maia (@maiamindel) posts that people forget how memory, vision, and endurance can decline in your 30s. Graham Greene Fan (@G_GreeneFan) responds, saying they lived through their thirties before COVID and their health did not suddenly get worse back then. They argue that what many people are feeling now is the impact of multiple COVID infections, not just normal aging.

It’s wild how so many people are gaslit into believing declining health and being sick all the time is just ‘normal’ in your 30s. No. This is what repeated COVID infections do.

Inside looming NHS winter crisis as hospitals face ‘armageddon’ Every winter is a challenge for the NHS. But doctors fear this year could be one of the worst yet, as a ‘hugely concerning’ early flu season, a surge in A&E demand and the overhang of a devastating summer put the creaking health service under huge pressure. Medics and officials tell Rebecca Thomas about why they are more scared than ever before Saturday 25 October 2025 16:42 BST

UK: Inside looming NHS winter crisis as hospitals face ‘armageddon’

Doctors warn this winter could be one of the worst for the NHS, as an early flu season and rising COVID cases push hospitals to “astonishing” pressure, combined with high A&E demand and staffing cuts.

Zverev also indirectly affected Exhausted tennis professionals give up in droves October 25, 2025, 3:46 PM Norwegian Casper Ruud was one of those who could not finish the game. (Photo: picture alliance / MAXPPP) In the final weeks of the tennis year, more and more professionals are dragging themselves through tournaments with minor injuries. In Basel, a curious occurrence occurred: three of four quarterfinals were decided by forfeit. In Vienna, Alexander Zverev didn't even have to take the court.

"Exhausted tennis professionals give up in droves"

I wish we could figure out why this is happening so often lately… Almost like there’s an ongoing pandemic that weakens the immune system with every infection, and too many aren’t fully recovering before heading back on the court.

Speaking of grandsons of awful men, such as Timothy Mellon, last night I learned that Louis Mosley is the head of Peter Thiel’s Palantir in the UK.

Mosley’s grandpa was the founder of the British Union of Fascists who married his wife Diana Mitford at Joseph Goebbels’ house. Hitler was a guest.

Who benefits from the MAHA anti-science push? Powerful anti-vaccine advocates and people selling potentially harmful goods such as raw milk are profiting from the push to write anti-science policies into law across the U.S.

One of the greatest cons achieved by the “wellness” industry is convincing their marks that it’s a grassroots group that really, really cares about them.

They don’t. They make fat stacks of cash by lying to their customers and selling them remedies that are at best useless and at worst harmful.

Build a Box Campaign Help Us Bring Clean Air to More Classrooms

In our short existence, The Corsi-Rosenthal Foundation has issued 58 grants providing healthier indoor air to 30,000 ppl.

The Foundation aims to substantially increase these benefits to under-resourced schools over the next several months.

Please consider helping us: givebutter.com/buildabox2025

1. Please read the article (linked in the next post). What galls me is that there is nothing 'astonishing' about this; it was absolutely predictable. The reasons are multi-factorial, but low uptake of flu and Covid vaccines (and very tight eligibility for the latter) are a large part of the problem.

What are the odds that racist nepograndbaby Timothy Mellon is also bankrolling the White House ballroom?

His grandpa Andrew likely caused the Great Depression with his “Mellon Plan” aka tax cuts for the wealthy.

The OG Robber Barons have reached beyond the grave. We have learned nothing.

NYT still dutifully normalizing.

Incidentally, Timothy’s grandpa Andrew Mellon may have caused the Great Depression and also, you guessed it, emplaced policies so the rich could pay less in taxes. He is often named as the originator of “trickle down economics”.

Donor Who Gave $130 Million to Pay Troops Is Reclusive Heir to Mellon Fortune

Timothy Mellon of the famous Pittsburgh Mellon family is the one who provided $130 million to pay US military personnel.

His views on social safety nets are that Democrats “buy” votes by providing government funds to pay for food for infants.

Bar chart titled “Equivalent Exposure Time to Unmasked Person.” The chart compares how long different masks/respirators extend the equivalent exposure time relative to being unmasked. The x-axis shows unmasked infection times of 1, 5, and 10 minutes. The y-axis shows equivalent masked exposure time, ranging up to 5000 minutes. Seven mask types are represented by colored bars: - Procedure mask (loose fit, FF=2) - Ear loop mask (tight fit, FF=6) - Vertical bifold headband mask (FF=30) - N95 headband masks with fit factors of 100, 200, and 500 Key pattern: higher fit factor masks dramatically increase equivalent exposure time. For example, at 10 minutes unmasked, a procedure mask extends exposure to 20 minutes, while an N95 with FF=400 extends it to 5000 minutes.

How does various mask fit compare to filter the air and protect you or others?

Most masks, even baggy blue procedure masks use filtering material that can filter 95%+ of particles that pass through it, but the key is "pass through it". Continue to learn more... 🧪🧵1/

Pandemic relief worked! And then they ended it. Guess what happened? Poverty increased! If you give people money, food, and low cost healthcare, protect them from eviction, and pause their student loan payments, their lives get a lot better.

If economic insecurity is just low self-esteem, nothing that can’t be fixed through the power of positive thinking, then why does every fucking graph on it sync with the rise and fall of the pandemic welfare state?
