Spanish Flu. Someone should google it.

FFS. Kegsbreath apparently never heard of the 1918 Flu outbreak amongst US soldiers.

Idiot.

Argh! Why did you bail out?

Once again need to remind everyone that the supposedly crime-infested hellhole of New York is one of the safest cities in the country in no small part because most people in the central area don’t drive. America has a much bigger car problem than a violent crime problem.

Saw it before and after. Wonderful.

A study finds that less than half of US infants exposed to hepatitis C are tested, and fewer are treated.

Of those exposed in utero or at birth, only 42% were tested, but that rate dropped to 32% by the end of the study period.

ChatBots are Diagnosing Diseases that Don’t Exist Based on Blog Posts Transcript: Many years ago, a friend of mine suggested an experiment: make up a conspiracy theory that was just plausible enough, and then track how far it spreads. It was fun to talk about, and he…

A researcher says she made up a disease with two posts on Medium, which led to Copilot telling users it was "intriguing and relatively rare." Posting two preprint papers about it online led to ChatGPT diagnosing people with it. 🧪

So, still only women being pushed out

Say what you will about the worst members of the Roberts Court, but they all make sure their wives are in on the grift.

Jane Roberts, Martha Alito and Ginni Thomas are equal partners with their husbands in the grand project of destroying the United States and enriching themselves in the process.

Figure showing number of competitive grants mentioning women from 2015-2025. The number was rising until recently, with a precipitous drop in the last year.

At the end of 2024, the National Academies put out a report concluding the NIH has woefully underfunded women’s health research, and they suggested $15 B should be invested over the next 5 years.

Here’s what’s happened instead. Hard to study women’s health if you can’t say “women.”

Tim Cook's legacy will be enshittifying Apple's software, abusing their market dominance, and then playing apologist to fascism.

Under his leadership they burned billions on a car that never drove, and the only major attempt at a new product during his tenure (the Apple Vision Pro) was a total dud.

Report details tetanus in 4 unvaccinated US kids, including refusal of post-exposure prevention

Remember the unvaccinated boy who contracted tetanus in 2017, hospitalized for months at a cost of almost $1M? The boy who was a patient of (former) antivax doctor Paul Thomas?

He's not the only recent case. 4 kids, unvax'd, none received immunoglobulin when symptoms developed. Those poor kids.

Did I just argue with a joke? Part of a Bluesky educational series

my father, an old school doc who worked in the public health system in India, used to describe tetanus (which he saw in unvaccinated, often poor people in India without access to post exposure vaccines) as scary, and agonizing.

Bryan Johnson Subscribe 4 days ago You can now get your blood work at cost. We launched a biomarkers testing platform. I make $0 on it. Blood testing needs to be more accessible. Instead, we wait until we get sick. And in the meantime, companies profit when you're sick. It's messed up. > get tested > find what needs attention > implement protocols > test again Get ahead of unwelcome surprises. :

The First WORLD FENCING LEAGUE is happening April 25th!!! I'M GEEKING!!!

Japanese engineers developed this "Sword Tip Visualisation" tracking technology specifically for this event that will make it so much easier for the average person to see what's going on!

I MUST WATCH THIS ENTIRE TOURNAMENT

Two hooded figures with lamps approach a moonlit, isolated cottage. A woman answers the door. We have come for the child, says the hooded figure So soon? she asks It is time, says the hooded figure. The woman is distraught. We should never have got him a library card! What is done cannot be undone, says the hooded figure We couldn’t see the harm! We just wanted him to enjoy reading! For most, it ends there, says the hooded figure, turning away and walking into the wilderness Oh lord, What have I done! says the woman, the child walks past her and out into the darkness with them. Do not cry mother. I am a writer now.
