And the popular refrain of, “yeah but they were mostly sick or old,” is no better than, “yeah but they were mostly gay.”

Can I reassert that with SARS-CoV-2 induced brain damage, it won’t be a lessening of intellect that you’ll be seeing first, but behavioural changes such as disinhibition, emotional lability, risk taking & impulsivity. Frontal lobe damage impairs behavioural regulation.

my partner is currently in a battle of wills w/ Costco bc they keep asking him to remove his mask to enter (and he will not). unfortunately for them he’s a neurodivergent who likes to make phone calls and always has the time when people are pulling bullshit.

But when people are concerned as to why they are suddenly lacking empathy today in 2024 when they didn’t have this problem BEFORE the pandemic, trying to brush it under the carpet by saying “humans have always been awful” or citing slavery, capitalism, exploitation etc is LAZY.

the CDC went from saying there's no risk of H5N1 human transmission to listing the symptoms. I'd start listening to disabled people about pandemics yesterday if I were you.

Matt Stoller you imagining threats to democracy when there are none is perhaps why you supported the iraq war

do people know they don’t have to identify as a leftist if they don’t want to live the values?

the best part about getting long covid was the fat check from the CIA for undermining socialist activism in america

Well what do you know.. a bunch of people who went to my company’s team retreat this weekend are now sick. Unknown if it’s covid or not. But this is exactly why I didn’t go and tuned in virtually. At least they all acknowledged it and were like “you were onto something.” 🙃

I don’t think they realize how annoying they are. Black people vibe differently. I can’t fully explain it but when they try to invade our spaces it’s a problem. Our energy, agenda and culture is 100% different. Why is this so hard for them to understand? #HillmanTokUniversity

Somehow I don’t think this will be at the head of the Disney+ queue ever. In fact I’m not sure they are aware they made it. But that was an incredibly fun summer in North Carolina 30 years ago. #Heavyweights

🚨 THE NEXT 2008 IS HAPPENING NOW 🚨 Party City. Joann’s. Forever 21. Big Lots. ALL COLLAPSING. But this isn’t just “retail struggling.” This is financial arson. Private equity rigged the system. They built a time bomb. And now? It’s detonating. A MEGATHREAD: 🧵⬇️

We are witnessing with despair the iniquitous use of hunger as a weapon of war. Burning crops, stealing livestock, and blocking aid are tactics increasingly used by armed militias. As civilians languish in misery, political elites grow fat with impunity. It is time to sanction
