If Covid is "no big deal," why is an "uptick in cases" serious enough to warrant school closures? How can it be both? I do not understand the logic applied here.

COVID levels on the rise in 47 states, schools in 2 states close to slow the spread

The uptick in cases prompted school closures in two states in recent weeks.

Everyone deserves to have their basic needs met. No one’s worth should be dependent upon their job, bank balance or ability to produce for capitalism. We are not the arbiters of another person’s value. Healthcare, food, water, housing and UBI should be provided to all. Watch the world change.

I hope GTA VI is underwhelming af It won't be ass but I hope it is extremely underwhelming I want people to be disillusioned with AAA games otherwise nothing will change

I hate that people associate being fat with being a bad person. I see this all the time when people describe bad people. It's especially bad since a lot of the reasons people gain weight and become fat has to do with their disabilities.

Covid is not over. Covid is airborne. Covid is still killing and disabling. The government pushed a “back to normal” narrative to protect the economy, not people’s lives. A layered approach works best! Boosters, respirator masks, clean air and staying home when sick can all reduce transmission.

Exciting news - I updated today's post on the summer surge in #Covid to reflect that all 3 new vaccines received FDA approval today--Moderna, Pfizer, and Novavax-Sanofi. www.forbes.com/sites/judyst...

It blows me mind that a lot of people are still treating catching and recovering from COVID (if you get the mercy of recovery) like catching a minor cold, or something to be shrugged off in general.

We have no problem calling a blood diamond, a blood diamond no matter how many times it’s been polished and passed around. But we can’t do the same for sexually exploited children? 

I have even seen people on Bluesky defend AI CSAM under the guise “it’s not real.” But AI CSAM is not only trained on real material, but now being used to launder real material. There are real victims. They’re just so far removed from the process they’re easy to forget as victims. But they are.

The bigger issue is that this gives people the ability to launder real csam. Real csam ran through AI almost instantly becomes legal.

Woke up to this news and I’m beyond disgusted. It’s a US *constitutional right* now to create and own ‘CSAM,’ as long as it was made with AI?? AI gen images are built from real images, of real children. This directly re-exploits every single CSAM survivor. (More in 🧵) #abolition #trafficking

FYI the HUGE number of AI slop at GamesCom's opening night live is not a sign that the industry has normalized AI. It's a ploy to make you believe that. These games are all by the same 3 or 4 publishers. This is a concerted effort to make consumers accept AI.

Not sure if it's widely known or not, however, Capcoms team refused to sign Union contracts to ensure provided material wont be used for GenAI for Mega Man Dual Override. Capcom states they won't use GenAI to create visible or audible in-game assets, but refuse to work within union for the VAs.

Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.

hey friends, i'm not sure who on here is telling you to go get the vaccine today, make an appointment right now, etc. — but based on my inbox, someone is. wait a few days. computer systems are updating, vaccine is traveling through the cold chain to pharmacies, etc.

The FDA approved the 2026-2027 COVID vaccines today. This year, it is again my aim to provide you with actionable guidance, as soon as a clear enough picture emerges for me to be able to do so. Unless it's medically contraindicated, I want you to get this updated vaccine to protect against COVID.
