seen a recent increase in leftist anti-covid-prevention takes. all i’m gonna say is I know people who’ve got long covid, they’re not making that shit up, and they feel utterly abandoned and betrayed by society. if you don’t know someone like that, you will someday. be safe out there, pals!

i was so into tech youtube in the 2010s, by the time i started being able to afford things (ah remote work, you are missed) i would have gone further down the smart home slippery slope if this tweet didn't haunt me every time i touched Homekit

Tweet from @PPathole

Tech enthusiasts: My entire house is smart.

Tech workers: The only piece of technology in my house is a printer and I keep a gun next to it so I can shoot it if it makes a noise I don’t recognize.

It’s also worth noting that this is all only showing up as discourse because of the same rightwing bad faith actor who keeps targeting leftists & marginalized people while pretending to be a centrist.

that reverend arson account is unfortunately not just reading wikipedia incorrectly, he’s a full blown literal nazi who is obsessed with attacking leftists.

"procedurally incorrect" is a strange way to describe a nazi paramilitary death squad, but i guess it's in character when you don’t “give a shit” about the victims they "liquidated".

New York health officials have confirmed the first locally transmitted case of the chikungunya virus which causes high fever, joint pain and fatigue.

It’s usually a tropical virus, but there are now infected mosquitoes spreading in New York. (NYT)

This is the result of a lot of people pretending racism is one of the greatest taboos in our culture while failing to address racism substantively. People are appalled by the idea of being called racist while being totally committed to upholding racism throughout society.

Every time a Democrat gets caught on tape saying like “Some Trump voters are racist” we have a national scandal and JD Vance demands an entirely new kind of apology and meanwhile every Republican group chat is like “Good morning fellow SS members. Who’s ready to respect Hitler today?”
