If you don't actually write down your papers, from bibliographic notes and cards, from the slate and schemes to the typing and edition and revision of your own work by yourself, how the hell can you give a lecture, or honestly publish a book, if all that work is done by an AI plagiarist simulator?

US child vaccination rates have plunged since before the pandemic, with kindergarten classrooms in more than 70% of counties now lacking herd immunity against measles.

Medicare for All is a cheaper, more efficient system than private, for-profit insurance. The US currently spends more than any other industrialized country on healthcare and has significantly worse outcomes. Now, ask yourself why both political parties are so dead set against Medicare for All.

Tom Hayes@kabiu.bsky.social · 3d ago

“Medicare for All strips out those sources of waste while providing everyone with healthcare, saving over a trillion dollars and 114,000 lives every year.” But it would, of course, eliminate the very lucrative “jobs” at insurance companies - particularly the top execs who “donate” to politicians.

Liberals with worm-infested brains would comment under pro-Palestine posts, "Why aren't you talking about the Sudanese genocide?" when Israel's biggest ally in the middle-east is funding the genocide in Sudan and Israel is sending them arms via illegal trafficking. 😑

Early Edition: PMC COVlD Update, Week of Aug 17, 2026 (US) 🔥15 states/territories with COVlD outbreaks 🔥Worst in CA, AK, HI, TX, GU 🔥Reporting irregularities in TX 🔥2.2 million estimated infections/week 🔥1 in 144 people estimated infectious Details: See Alt text. 🧵(1/4)

We have posted this report 48 hours early in light of increased transmission. The US has 15 states/territories with COVlD outbreaks, characterized by one or multiple counties at high to very high levels. The largest waves are in California, Texas, Alaska, Hawai’i, and Guam. Washington, Nevada, Mississippi, Alabama, Kentucky, and Florida are experiencing regional outbreaks. Finally, there are isolated hot spots in north central Utah (Summit/Wasatch), north central Illinois (Boone/DeKalb), central North Carolina (Cabarrus), and northwest Connecticut (Litchfield). There are major reporting irregularities in Texas. Of the 19 sites online this week, 3 (16%) reported with high/very high levels. Of the 20 Texas sites offline this week that have reported data for last week, 18 (90%) report high/very high levels, with 16 (80%) reporting very high levels. The reason why high and very high sites are disproportionately offline this week is unknown. This creates a major discrepancy between the PMC and CDC maps. If carrying forward last week’s data for the offline sites, the CDC would place Texas in their “high” category, with 21 of 39 sites at high/very high levels (54%), and just below the threshhold for “very high” (17/39, 44%). Houston was previously a leader in wastewater monitoring with 8 sites but has not reported any data the past two updates.

Got a mysterious illness or cough? Hi, this is not pre Covid. We now have rapid at home test for Covid and other viruses. Yes, I know they can be pricey, but remember, not everything is allergies or a common cold; it could be 1 of the viruses, and you may infect others around you.

This is why liberals suck so much, they are "progressive" but only symbolically, not structurally. Structurally they are status-quo shields.

Who Killed Jason Arday? "They know from bitter experience that when a white person makes mistakes, it is processed as an individual matter, but when a Black person makes mistakes, it is treated as collective and used to undermine the legitimacy of Black presence in elite institutions."

Wealth inequality is worse than pre-revolutionary France. Instead of reducing inequality they have chosen to go down the route of enslaving the masses in a digital surveillance prison. The faster people wake up, organise and take action, the less damage can be done. It only gets worse from here.

Ever ask yourself why they’ve increased surveillance and facial recognition systems? “In order to keep us subjugated, they need to control us. In order to control us, they need to spy on us. That’s what all these surging authoritarian measures are all about” open.substack.com/pub/caitlinj...

There are many "moderate" pundits, journalists, "experts", politicians and opinionated people of all sorts in Spain who haven't realized yet - deliberately and for many decades - that the PP (Partido Popular) is a fascist party, and there are also many silent fascists too all across the board.

Struggling to set guidelines for AI use is like struggling to set guidelines for burning down your neighbor's house with them inside. Not a struggle. Don't use it, period. Why is it so hard for people to tell right from wrong anymore?

The Christian Science Monitor@csmonitor.bsky.social · 7d ago

Authors increasingly use AI tools in their work. As book publishers struggle to set guidelines for AI use, readers vent concerns. Some say a new social contract is needed between readers and authors to instill confidence. #ai #publishing #writing www.csmonitor.com/Arts-Culture...

I mask in public still because no one has given me any convincing scientific evidence that getting repeat COVID infections is safe or sustainable for health, especially brain health 🧠

Many international students were drawn here because a degree from a US school has largely been seen as a status symbol. It's predicated on past glory, not what our colleges and universities are now: neoliberal incubators controlled by donors that groom the next generation of the ruling class.

If you think of it, every single night we are in a total solar eclipse, only that instead of being within the moon's shadow cone, we are within the earth's shadow cone. It's a daily occurrence.

Maybe this will finally get politicians to care about climate change: “The brutally hot summer is set to cost the EU economy €180 billion this year — that’s equivalent to roughly 1 percent of GDP, which is all the growth the bloc was expected to generate in 2026, according to new analysis.”

Europe’s scorching summer is erasing its economic growth, says report

Dutch growth is set to be almost entirely wiped out, and France could be pushed into a contraction.
