Also known as Frankentan. Slow of thought and life. Cryptid of a person and kinda undead. Aspie and cfs( fortunately not ME ). He/Him. Usually can't afford to donate.

There probably was someone called Emily Wilson who wrote a critical review of Nolan’s Odyssey, but most of what we now think of as “Wilson’s review’ is probably the result of codifying a long tradition of anonymous Bluesky posting.

Ah, there it is. COVID seems uniquely suited to waking up the lurking beasts that drive an immune system mad. The virus itself can cause immune dysfunction but it magnifies the effect by waking up its buddies (Epstein Barr and cytomegalovirus). And then "friendly fire" goes amok. #MedSky 🩺

Severe Covid leads to persistent viral reactivation, with >10 different viruses noted in the first 40 days after hospital admission. Long Covid was specifically associated with reactivation of latent Anelloviridae virus @nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Which is why I’m so grateful to be doing the work of rebuilding the NDP into a national fighting force for the working class, and to see so many people rushing through the wide-open doors of our movement.

It will either be harnessed by progressive politics, to balance the scales of society and make a fairer economy for all… Or it will fuel fascism. That’s the choice. And happily, it's up to us!

This groundswell of populist rage is legitimate, and it’s a completely predictable consequence of our economic system and how it has been managed for the last 50 years. The desire to push back against the smug arrogance and creepy impunity of elites is a defining force in politics today.

People are furious with ultra rich, powerful elites. The social contract has been broken. People who work for a wage or salary (not a dividend or bonus) just can’t make the household math make sense. And we’re looking up at the unlimited wealth of the 1% and we are pissed.

Of course there are many factors shaping this shift, most unique to the US. But there is an underlying feeling that we share in Canada, and its importance cannot be overstated.

BREAKING: The New Mexico Department of Justice has sued Acting AG Todd Blanche and the DOJ, requesting the court for access to unredacted Epstein-related investigative files that the DOJ has been withholding.

Det råder inte brist på inrikespolitik: kroniskt sjuka som socialförsäkringarna struntar i, offentliganställda som nöts ner år för, oligarker som mjölkar skattepengar rakt ner i egna spannar, men Richard Jomshof kan få både traditionella och sociala medier precis dit han vill precis när som helst.

I need more ppl to be scared. As I've been bitching, I just lost my job & being replaced w/Ai. That's not the scary part. My job incl handling sensitive, private, medical info plus all your personal info up to SSN. It's all being fed to Ai & Ai is not covered under HIPAA. It's really fucking scary.

In Tucker’s recent interview with his favorite Holocaust-denying “historian,” TC is shocked to learn that the Bolsheviks erected a statue to Judas in Moscow. The only problem is, there is no evidence that this ever happened. But who cares about evidence when you have a fascist narrative to push?

i'm under the impression that the spacex chunk hitting the moon is accidental which, if true, is a genuinely impressive failure in as in the context of how large space is, statistically, the moon arguably does not exist
