AI's great achievement is that after a century where artists, critics, and theorists came up with such a massive tent that practically everything can be considered art in the right context, it's managed to be art shaped, but not art.

I say this as someone Bernie used to fool, fuck you if you're fooled by Bernie Sanders' bullshit + believe this $10 billion "Long Covid Moonshot!" is going to happen.

Biden will cure cancer and Bernie will get his "moonshot", but an N95 and not a surgical for more than 30 secs is a bridge too far!

Part of why healthy people aren't afraid to get sick is- they think if they do develop long-term issues, they'll be able to go & get treated by doctors who will work day and night to fix them (as it was on House, M.D.) & don't realize there's a 99% chance they'll be told they just have anxiety

Hospitalizations and deaths are trailing indicators. We won't know what those numbers are for the acute infection stage of the current surge until at least February, and we won't know about disability deaths from long term harm for months.

Even before long COVID, many patients w/chronic fatigue syndrome were prescribed exercise as treatment, despite telling their physicians that it actually made them worse. Now we're starting to learn why exercise can be so debilitating at a molecular & cellular level. www.npr.org/sections/hea...

In 2021, I gave testimony and evidence under oath in an Ontario courtroom that COVID was airborne and thus we need to take airborne precautions. The other side's expert was a doctor from Public Health Ontario who argued the opposite. I will never stop retelling this story.

The US vetoed Gaza ceasefire proposals at the UN Security Council, while sending Israel more weapons.

UN experts warn Israel is carrying out ethnic cleansing.

An Israeli scholar of the Holocaust says Israel is guilty of genocide against Palestinians.

Today a group of respected climate scientists released their 2023 report on the terrifying state of our #climate.

It should be read by every policymaker, decisionmaker, and journalist on the planet.

Here is a thread of some key takeaways.

Is the Hygiene Hypothesis True? | Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health The hygiene hypothesis says exposure to germs helps kids develop healthy immune systems. But many viruses didn’t circulate as widely during the pandemic. Are there downsides to missed infections?

To the people who say we need to get Covid to be healthy:

"Almost no virus is protective against immune diseases. Infections with viruses mostly contribute to the development of diseases or worsen them. Viruses do not help you develop a healthy immune response."

My father's last bout of COVID definitely left him with dementia, and it's one of the many reasons I can't understand folks being cavalier about catching and transmitting this virus - especially since enabling that basically ensures increased resistance to Paxlovid and more vaccine escape variants.

"Compulsory mask wearing is a failure." In 1918 businessmen in the US set up the Anti-Mask League to protest against mask mandates during the flu pandemic. This is a poster for a meeting in San Francisco. History eh
