Signal boost. ME is an abbreviation for myalgic encephelomyelitis. I knew someone in grad school who had this disease.. ISTFG she seemed to spend so much time/energy convincing people her illness was real.

Today, Aug 8, is #SevereMEDay. Today we discuss severe-presenting #MECFS and remember people with severe ME. #MECFS is an infection-associated chronic illness, which means it is often, but not always, kicked off by an infection. ~Half of #LongCOVID cases at 6 mo meet the dx criteria for ME/CFS. 🧵

Clearing out my photos and came across this unsettling saved item

Sheryl Weikal says Prosecute ICE@leftistlawyer.com · 2d ago

It's very telling how every word a Black or Muslim or Brown candidate like Darializa Avila Chevalier or Abdul El-Sayed or Zohran Mamdani or Cori Bush says is scrutinized, turned around, overanalyzed, and endlessly debated by the same people who see Elon Musk *literally sieg heil* and shrug.

I love this dog!

gets incredible air here

I’m on a small-ship Alaska cruise with my son; our boat rescued a stranded vessel last night and apparently we did that after the Coast Guard radioed Mark Zuckerberg’s yacht - which was closer - and they repeatedly refused to respond. (There was near unanimous booing when the captain announced this)

Shocked to learn that the guy who ran us out of toilet paper last time has done the same thing with missiles.

I’m trying to determine if I’m becoming incoherent as I age, or if critical-thinking skills have deteriorated slowly over the decades I have been online. Could be both!

This was, perhaps, one of two things that I liked about this episode. The other thing was the return of the Mugato costume we first saw in STARFLEET ACADEMY.

Bonnie Tyler gets an appropriate, if also somewhat unwitting, tribute in Star Trek: Strange News Worlds Season 4, Episode 3.

🏆 MAINSPLAINING CHAMP 😄 In a bold effort to explain flight tracking to @gillianbrockell.com this man cites a Rolling Stone article written by… Gillian Brockell 😬

I just noticed Ken Jennings is blocking me!!

If they can send even a single scientist to prison over something that plainly did not happen, they can imprison anyone for anything at any time for any reason. Those are the stakes. You don’t hear that from legacy publications like NYT.

My taxes paid for our military and Claude to bomb a school in Iran, to arm Israel for their genocide in Gaza, and also paid Trump and Friends to build a bunch of concentration camps and paid the Gestapo to shoot innocent people in the street. I'm fine with folks getting cheaper food on my dime

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

So there are these videos on Instagram and I assume TikTok that are a little occult-y, and something that comes up is not having mirrors in one’s room, as these are portals, and worse you never want two mirrors to face each other.

PENTAGON: Anyone got any ideas? @cnn.com www.cnn.com/2026/08/03/p...

I had the misfortune of hanging out around the Stanford Hospital cancer a few months after peak COVID. The care patients took with masking, using polymeric respirators, etc was encouraging to me or anyone else who had this idea that living was desirable.

The godmother of punk Patti Smith met Pope Leo XIV this morning.

It’s really hard to stomach that Islamophobia, transphobia and capitalism are the only bipartisan issues in the country

She knows she’s losing so she said let’s just go mask off.

You know what to do

In re Nolan’s THE ODYSSEY, were they translating from modern Greek on their first landing after setting for home? Where everything was on fire in the seaside village?

Sometimes when I quip that I am going to turn into the Joker, in my heart, I fell into that proverbial chemical vat a long, long time ago.

oh my god a Y Combinator startup called LemonLime threw a party, brought in a tattoo artist offering free tattoos, and then said they would give an immediate job interview to anyone who got a tattoo of their logo what is wrong with these people.

The only taxidermied blue whale in the world, 1865 CE, now housed at the Natural History Museum in Sweden. The public was allowed to enter the whale up until a couple was found having sex inside it. Now the whale’s jaws are opened only for special occasions, such as Swedish election days.

If you’re having a bad day, just remember that you didn’t just fumble Rebecca Ferguson at SDCC.

#Bjork wants you to look at her animal mask. LOOK AT IT.

After a lifetime of public service and dedication to the health of Americans and people around the world it is obscene that Dr. Anthony Fauci is being forced to sit in front of this Congressional committee and face these absurd accusations.
