Some lady saying "you might have killed millions of people, but at the very least, you made me happy."

oh, this is very important to know!!

If I was management of one of the top investigative outlets in the country I’d just simply give them what they want.

Reminder to floss.

BREAKING: Trump Administration Orders Dismantling of the U.S. Forest Service The headquarters is going to Utah. Every regional office is being shuttered. The research program is being destroyed.

the trump administration is selling this country wholesale to rapacious, extractive industries that will destroy our collective resources for private profit morethanjustparks.substack.com/p/breaking-t...

The original is great!! Just leave it alone!!

Why are we rebooting Ghost in the Shell again

Home care wasn't ready for the climate crisis—even before Trump's Medicaid and FEMA cuts As extreme weather mounts, disaster relief for millions of people is being systemically gutted.

I looked into if Medicaid-funded providers who oversee disabled people living independently are ready for worsening climate events. The support they need from the federal government isn’t there, and it’s worsened under Trump. My latest for @motherjones.com.

It’s day 111 of the ICE occupation of MN.

Although families are starting to feel safer, recovery is a long road.

It’s time to raise some mutual aid $ for April 1 rents.

A lot of people in the US [more than a majority] don't simply have the cops in their heads and hearts. They also play cop in their own lives and communities. It explains things like this.

right like let us all remember: we never needed TSA to begin with

I honestly don't know how much this will go out the window with ICE now at airports, but here is CAIR's guide to knowing your rights while traveling (applicable to TSA and CBP), likely good to keep handy if you're planning on air travel any time soon: www.cair.com/wp-content/u...

Judith Herman has written some powerful words on this.

People tend to see victims as the source of harm because they were unaware of the violence until the victim spoke up. A lot want to go back to the day before they knew—not a time before the violence ever happened.

Anything an "AI agent" "says" that is accidentally correct is actually the automated plagiarism of a human being who's intellectual labour has been stolen and had recognition for their contributions stripped from them. Automated information is inherently not credible due to its mechanical conditions

The only thing getting me through this miserable week is the fact that I'm going to see monster trucks tomorrow.

This would kill me.

Reading stuff you aren’t ready for is a big part of growing up

Also so many of them tank in the second act!

When I tell my students we’re going to discuss the ethics of AI in class, they often assume we’ll be talking about plagiarism and academic integrity. And we do, eventually. But we start here: the illusion of seamless computer magic is built on worker exploitation.

CONCLUSIONS In our sample of 650,173 COVID cases among active-duty military personnel, a total of 278,278 were identified as having post-COVID-19 syndrome (42.8%). Of these, 273,405 reported post-COVID symptoms in at least two visits (42.1%). Our findings showed that the top three symptoms of post-COVID-19 syndrome in military personnel are related to pulmonary, neurological, and fatigue issues. Mild to moderate cases of this syndrome could leave military personnel with long-term deficits in their overall fitness and readiness. This readiness is a critical aspect of military effectiveness, ensuring that personnel can respond rapidly and decisively to threats. Thus, continued assessment and potential treatments are needed to assist active-duty military personnel to improve their overall health outcomes.

Oh look, the 🇺🇸 military concludes over 40% of COVID infections lead to Long COVID, among a population sample that is all adults, & on average in better physical condition & younger than the national/global population.

I’ve had this convo with people who understand… and those who give me blank looks.

Your national conference, if held in certain US states, is now a regional conference. Adjust accordingly.
And forget international conferences in the US. Those aren’t safe for too many.

But also, Kimberly Akimbo is yikes bad.

I really liked this one.

I love how I keep going to musicals and every time I come back and think, you know, maybe this isn't for me, and I never get the message that perhaps I just don't actually like musicals.

I started a new medication to try to help with the PCS, and although it's still really early, I've seen some improvement in brain fog I experience. On the flip side, it seems like the more active my brain is, the more exhausted I become. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Dark bargains.
