This is VERY bad. Congressional investigation immediately. They’re trying to use Palantir to figure out who you voted for. 0% chance this ends well. Stop it ASAP.

Are you saying the DOJ withdrew that pool vandalism indictment… upon reflection?

🧵 For anyone wondering whether IPC and public health leaders are competent to manage Ebola, the answer is a categorical "no". Current WHO guidance, released May 17, 2026, is still based on the 5-micron error (p51 & 58), out of date since 1934. The quacks responsible should be in jail.

#medsky #scisky #polisky I need help falsifying a hypothesis: "A significant portion (>10%) of routine Ebola cases are a result of low-efficiency aerosol transmission." Yes, many official sources promise it's zero (as they did for COVID) - but what is the actual scientific evidence? Scientific...

The classic failure mode of public health decision-making is "it's possible the bad thing science predicts is not happening, we have to wait until it's too late before acting". GRADE-driven at least in part, as preferred methods are slow and retrospective (basically waiting for bodies to pile up).

1/ Yesterday for #Longcovidawarenessday we launched our UN campaign to protect people like we protect the environment, which forces business + finance to act. But business doesn’t speak health, so we need to talk to them differently. 🙏Take 2 quick polls to help us translate

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal.

If Burnham’s “honesty” doesn’t extend to abandoning all the genocidal anti-trans measures imposed by Starmer/Streeting/Philippson, then he is being as “honest” as the Cass Review.

Escorting the nine-year-old to a friend’s birthday pool party, I told him I wasn’t going to swim in part because I’m dressed for work. He told me I could just jump in like Mamdani did. This is what socialism does to our children.

Absolutely this! In tears reading this thread. Teachers forced to harm trans children by the Labour Party, you must to call it what it is. Labour’s deliberate targeting of trans kids is utterly disgusting, it is bullying. Phillipson, Starmer & Party acquiescers must NEVER be allowed to forget this.

Three things they can do: 1. Call it what it is. Call it segregation & discrimination. Tell the trans kids who are facing it that what they are facing is overt discrimination. Don't sugar coat the overt violence.

Tomorrow is the last day she will be treated with equality & respect at school. Tomorrow is the last day she will be safe at school. Trans kids are bearing the sharp end of aggressive state persecution that is hitting all trans people. No wonder the UK's on our 2nd genocide warning.

Just had meeting with kiddo's school. She has been fully supported, treated with full equality & dignity for years. All of that changes from September. Full segregation & humiliation across the board. The school staff cried in the meeting. This will absolutely lead to children's deaths 1/2

🚨 HUGE ongoing surge of ICE arrests, with ICE directing 80% of all officers to go out into the field and round people up, aiming to hit 2,000 arrests a day; which would be more than during the Minneapolis surge.

Welcome to Disability Pride Month, also known as “Abled People Wrinkle Their Noses and Ask Why You’re Proud of THAT” Month, and let’s just handle this now: I am not proud of my disabilities per se. I am proud that ignorance hasn’t ground me into dust yet. I am proud of my fellow disabled people.

💯 recommend this thread it's actually about Mark Zuckerberg's war on whistleblowers in the UK "Sarah Wynn-Williams, author of the internationally bestselling memoir *Careless People*, which details the criminality she witnesses during her years as the head of Facebook's international relations team"

More than a decade ago, a group of young, internet-connected Belarusian dissidents launched a series of increasingly high-stakes, increasingly surreal confrontations with the corrupt, authoritarian government of Alexander Lukashenka, a man who is often called "the last Soviet dictator." 1/

This thread is great. Plus, for the last however many years, Google told content creators that to rank, your content had to show expertise, experience, authorativeness, and trustworthiness. Now, they take that and give users some junk written by a robot without any of those things.

When Google strips all this away by harvesting an "answer" and displaying it at the top of the page, the bargain between Google and the open web breaks down. Google is extracting 100% of the value from the websites it summarizes, and giving nothing back in return. 7/

Game over. It will NEVER get better than this. #WorldBollardAssociation

You’re all ready to bring the same energy you brought this month for Disability Pride Month in July, right? Because Jesus Christ, we need it and you.

Here’s a little story about Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. In April I had a procedure under anesthesia where an unmasked doctor made me sick. The immediate procedure recovery & acute infection both lasted ~a week, but the stress on my body caused an intense bout of post exertional malaise (aka a crash).

It takes 1.28 seconds for a message to reach us from the Moon. It takes as little as 35 minutes from Jupiter. It takes as little as 4.5 hours from Pluto. It takes at least 6-12 months from NYT reporters, plus $35 for the book containing it.

Alan Turing, born on this day in 1912. Helped save this country only to be persecuted by it.

Passing an #IACC / #ME/CFS law that - ensures clean indoor air everywhere to stop viral spread (we have the tech!!) - funds research sufficiently to catch up - criminalises psychologising biological illness. Then for the cherry on top, I'd send wessely & co to prison for the rest of their lives.

They've finally run out of toffs to stand as PM, your name has been pulled from the hat, what's your one (1) manifesto pledge? Let's assume UBI, PR & tax/eat the rich are standard. I want your petty policies, your extremely personal grudges, your old man yells at cloud laws

Both totally unnecessary and extremely funny that the Guardian has an interactive graphic for you to change the color of the US flag's blue to the color of the Reflecting Pool from 8 to 19 June and counting

Hot take: shut up about parking, ableds. It is a single facet of disabled life, not an amazing perk. It means we can go the same places you do (presumably) without gratuitous amounts of pain, exhaustion, or being stuck in a car because someone is parked too close to get a mobility aid out.

The page containing the "crock of shit" exchange on 10/16/25 appears to be missing entirely from the feds' original filing. It was on page 10, but the original filing jumps from page 8 to 11. Here's the unredacted version:

Your reminder that fairy tales are full of stepmothers because women once routinely died in childbirth, from postpartum sepsis, or from other infectious diseases and left behind housefuls of motherless children. Stable nuclear families are made possible by vaccines, antibiotics, and safe abortions.

Catherine Frieman@cjfrieman.bsky.social · 2mo ago

One reason i think everyone should take an archaeology class is to internalise with tangible examples that there is no pure, natural past utopia and that antibiotics and vaccines are what stand between us and a 50% child mortality rate and scores of women dying needlessly during pregn and birth
