Congrats!
All three very well deserved.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

I love that show!
I did not love that forced ending though.
Still waiting for my Myka&HG spin off.
I should do another rewatch.
Thanks for reminding me!

"learn to use AI, or you're going to get left behind..."

Like, dogg, if this shit ever works, it's not like it's going to be hard to use. It's whole appeal is the world's dumbest dipshits can use it to "create," I'm not worried about learning how to describe some shit to computer.

#Eurostat: Zahl gesunder Lebensjahre bei Geburt ist in SCHWEDEN von 73,3 (2019) auf 66,2 Jahre in 2023 gesunken

Deutschland von 66,3 auf 62,5
EU Durchschnittlich 64,6 auf 63,1

Hat aber alles nix mit #Covid zu tun - sind nur die Nerven

That would be preferred, yes.
Women and goats.
Sounds quite nice actually.

By women and society

Who makes up society, Helen? Goats?

Age verification bills are bad, actually. The government shouldn't be doing this. Parents should, you know, parent.

The antebellum United States was an absolutely wretched, racist, and evil country.

Somehow, the Confederacy was even worse. And on this day in 1865, it died.

Happy Confederate Surrender Day. Rest in Piss to one of the most evil regimes in history.

Schonmal mitbekommen, wenn den Familien Betroffener das Geld ausgeht? Wenn die Ersparnisse aufgebraucht sind und auch Verwandte nichts mehr beisteuern können? Wenn kein off-Label-Versuch mehr möglich ist, weil die EMR für die hohen monatlichen Kosten nicht ausreicht und auch das Pflegegeld nicht

Sánchez to Trump: Spain won’t ‘applaud those who set the world on fire just because they then show up with a bucket’ Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has emerged as one of the European Union's leading critics of U.S. and Israeli strikes against Iran.

“The Government of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket.”

B.
Woke up to b.

It's bedtime here.
It's just so great to go to bed pondering if I will
a. wake up to nuclear war?
b. wake up to another manipulated stock market?
c. wake up in general?

I hate this timeline.
Now onto listening to nice songs to think of something else.

Thanks for bringing us a joyous delight like that during these fucked up times!
I love this one and Imagine too.
I'm happy.

And people: don't forget to vote for BTB, ICCH and @jamesstout.bsky.social in the Webby Awards!

Yes, please!
Black mask + black sealing ring would be great!

an Iranian drone hit a civilian home in Zarga Zaria, killing a mother and father. The man’s brother died fighting ISIS. Their children survived

More than 2 million low-income Americans, overwhelmingly women, access birth control and STD screening through Title X programs.

As someone who does vax outreach, this shows why govt vax messaging has been such a failure. Ppl were given this freedom framing & told that health is a personal choice. In reality we don't have sterilizing vax for Covid & and so the idea that getting vaxed means total personal freedom is harmful

Done, done and done.
Please don't cry.

Taylor Lorenz Wants to Bring Back Masking in the Name of 'Basic Solidarity': 'We're 6 Years Into a Pandemic'

I love the way the right wing media covers what I say because I read these headlines and I'm like.... yes. I do.

Respirator masks halt the transmission of airborne disease. We're still in an active COVID pandemic leading to skyrocketing rates of disability and hundreds of thousands of deaths. Masking is totally normalized in Asia, there's no reason it couldn't be here too. Mask up! Protect yourself

Die Zeit wäre besser in Klettern, Inlineskaten, Mountainnbiken und Schwimmen investiert gewesen.
Hach, ich hätte gerne nur so 1% der Energie die ich als 7jährige hatte.
Ich wäre unaufhaltbar!

Meine Diagnose kam auch erst als Erwachsene als ich mich selbst darum gekümmert habe.
Die Heileurythmie habe ich wegen "Hyperaktivität" bekommen.
Die Heileurythmistin war nett, ich hab sie gemocht und ich hab alles mitgemacht.
Es hat nur nichts gebracht.
Und ich wusste nicht, warum ich da war.
1/

Als ADHS Kind das Heileurythmie bekommen hat kann ich sagen: hilft nicht.
Ich war danach immer etwas aufgedrehter weil diese ganzen langsamen Bewegungen ultra langweilig waren und mich kein bisschen herausgefordert haben.
Inlineskaten war viel besser.
Und günstiger.
Und an der frischen Luft.

No, the verdict in the ‘social media addiction’ lawsuit was not a win against big tech, it creates a legal precedent for mass surveillance, censorship, the total destruction of the open web.

And even if we leave compassion for MAGA at the door: they could be the firefighters who save our house, the truck driver who transports our food, the plumber who comes out after hours to fix our broken pipe.
Even in the most selfish way possible it's a lose-lose situation.

No, it will not.
Children of anti-vaxxers who aren't able to make choices for themselves yet will be affected.
Children who are too young to be vaccinated will be affected.
People with immunodeficiencies (known and unknown!) will be affected.

While I'm all for biking and walkable cities: we're still reliable on fossil fuels globally.
Our food, medicine, parts for our bikes, everything needs transportation.
Not everything is produced and available at a walkable distance.
Not everyone can walk or bike.
Not everyone has a choice.

Title: Transfer of IgG from long COVID patients induces symptomology in mice Abstract: SARS-CoV-2 infections worldwide led to a surge in cases of Long COVID, a post-infectious syndrome. It has been hypothesized that autoantibodies play a crucial role in the development of Long COVID and other syndromes, such as fibromyalgia and myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). In this study, we tested this hypothesis by passively transferring total IgG from Long COVID patients to mice. Using Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) and type-I interferon expression, we stratified patients into three Long COVID subgroups, each with unique plasma proteome signatures. Remarkably, IgG transfer from the two subgroups, which are characterized by higher plasma levels of neuronal proteins and leukocyte activation markers, induced pronounced and persistent sensory hypersensitivity with distinct kinetics. Conversely, IgG transfer from the third subgroup, which are characterized by enriched skeletal and cardiac muscle proteome profiles, reduced locomotor activity in mice without affecting their motor coordination. These findings demonstrate that transfer of IgG from Long COVID patients to mice replicates disease symptoms, underscoring IgG’s causative role in Long COVID pathogenesis. This work proposes a murine model that mirrors Long COVID’s pathophysiological mechanisms, which may be used as a tool for screening and developing targeted therapeutics.

Eine der "Mäuse-Studien" zu #LongCovid wurde jetzt peer reviewed veröffentlich. Bin gespannt auf die nächste Ausrede der Anhänger des psychosozialen Modells, warum das nicht keine Kausalität zeigt. Zuvor wurde gerne argumentiert, dass es nur ein Pre-Print sei.
