Great post. One critical point to me is that people are "not making decisions about COVID mitigation downstream of their ideas about disease severity, they’re developing ideas about disease severity downstream of decisions about mitigation."

are you so over wildfire smoke? allergies? this getting covid repeatedly thing? protect yourself with filtered air!

Unfortunately, that is the whole point. How else would they spend more money on war? 😭😭

do i love hearing about the ACIP dissolution? absolutely not. this is awful. but i am imploring you, reader, to not merely hang wring, but direct people’s energies to what CAN be done to prevent disease even as our government fails: ventilation, filtration, far uv, & MASKS. we are not without tools.

El Salvador convicts army officers for 1982 killing of 4 Dutch journalists Jury found three ex-military officers guilty of killing the journalists who were making a documentary at the time.

And since everyone suddenly starts being deliberately obtuse about masking whenever I bring it up, let me explain how it ACTUALLY works again.

By wearing a mask, you keep your rona laden spittle from being launched into the air with every exhale and word sung/spoken. If almost everyone wears a +

I just emailed BlueSky about Sharif’s situation and the situation in Gaza. I wasn’t so polite this time, I’m at the end of my tether with @moderation.bsky.app.

I'm slowly but surely working my way through @simkern.bsky.social's book 'Genocide Bad' and just learned about Israel's 'Hannibal Directive'. I'm floored. What chance do Palestinians have of self determination under a government that plans to shoot it's own citizens. #freepalestine #freeisrael

Microsoft has disabled the ICC prosecutor’s email account.

This is so far over the line it’s disorienting.

I know, probably couldn't hurt an evil tech giant like this, but also couldn't hurt to share this again anyhow.

US and Saudi Arabia agree to $142bn weapons sale during Trump visit The White House says an agreement with Saudi Arabia includes investments in weapons and technology totaling $600bn.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: our punk and drag shows have more covid mitigation than disease foundation summits and physicians conferences. Why can we do what people whose careers supposedly depend on the knowledge—with far more resources— can’t? #WeKeepUsSafe

I hope all goes well!

This is crazy. ICE didn’t have event have a warrant to arrest the guy! The judge asked for it and they said “we have an administrative warrant” (not a real warrant).

She told them to kick rock and now the FBI is charging her with obstruction the arrest ‼️

This Nazi-era story shows why Trump won't fix a terrifying deportation mistake The Trump administration's mistaken deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia recalls a similar incident from Vichy France.

If they let him come back, he’s gonna tell horror stories.

I worked with a startup that had a fake delete account button and geolocated everyone all the time. They got breached and told an all hands “ we can afford the ICO fine but we won’t get one”. They got nothing. Regulators have failed consumers bc they want sponsorship of their cyber events instead
