Aftonbladet's interview with Greta Thunberg is now available in English - it raises many serious questions, not least about the Swedish govt. effectively abandoning its citizens to torture because it doesn't agree with their politics. A thundering disgrace.

"We are talking about 20 Israeli hostages, many of whom have been soldiers in the military, and 2,000 Palestinian hostages, many of whom have been imprisoned without trial. These numbers and these formulations reveal the racism that journalists are driven by."

Highlights

•
HIV/AIDS and COVID-19 are preventable infectious diseases with chronic systemic impacts including immune system dysfunction.
•
Chronic inflammation, immune exhaustion, and accelerated biological aging are shared hallmarks of HIVI/AIDS and Long COVID/PASC.
•
Tissue reservoir persistence drives long-term damage in both HIV and SARS-CoV-2. SARS-CoV-2 mirrors HIV-1 in its ability to evade immune defenses and cause chronic infection.
•
SARS-CoV-2 -associated neurological disorders (SAND) parallel HIV-associated neurological disorders (HAND).
•
Both pandemics exhibit failures in global solidarity and reveal inequities in healthcare access.

"Both [the HIV/AIDS pandemic and the current covid] pandemics exhibit failures in global solidarity and reveal inequities in healthcare access."

American Journal of Preventative Medicine,

COVID-19 is "Airborne AIDS": provocative oversimplification, emerging science, or something in between?

Left blue window reads
Two viruses, two pandemics
HIV: Sexually & blood transmitted; decades-long progression to AIDS
SARS-CoV-2: An airborne virus & highly contagious; result in Long COVID weeks to months after acute disease recovery

Center light pink window reads
Shared outcomes
Immune dysfunction & exhaustion
Viral persistence & vulnerability to (opportunistic) infections
Systemic inflammation & damage
Associated with neurological disorders

Right magenta window reads
Public Health & Call to Action
Both pandemics marked by stigma, inequities, delayed response
Lessons from HIV could inform Long COVID strategies; prevention, recognition, causal treatments

Bottom left window reads
Conclusion: Both pandemics exhibit failures in global solidarity and reveal inequities in healthcare access

Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

“We may be witnessing the emergence of a population-level acquired immune deficiency — not sexually transmitted, but airborne.”

That line isn’t from a tweet. It’s from a peer-reviewed paper in AJPM Focus (2025).

While everyone regurgitates the Zionist lie that a “ceasefire” is in effect, Zionist terrorists are destroying Palestinian property, restricting the movement of citizens, and taking Palestinian hostages in Deir Istiya, northwest of Salfit.

I don't know how many times to point out that is absolutely ghoulish and non-consensual and disgusting behavior.
To exploit the image of a dead woman who was also exploited in real life so you can live out your momentary fantasies of "what is possible" with AI is bad science journalism, also.
Sick.

Post from stranger @strangerous.bsky.social

I feel like today is a good day to remind everyone that just last year Barnaby Joyce called on a crowd of cookers to say "goodbye" to 3 Labor MPs inc the PM by getting ready to "load that magazine" & think of a "bullet" when casting their vote. And received no penalty or censure.

GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment.

An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action.

A disinformation machine as our journalism fails.

A bias machine as fascism takes root.

A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

The ceasefire and the beaten child

“Why aren’t the Free Palestine people celebrating the ceasefire?”

It’s like asking a child if they’re grateful their abuser paused the beating.

Caitlin’s analogy is close, but the real story is worse.

Fascism and conspiracies prosper when governments become secretive and particularly when they reduce transparency and accountability. Our political duopoly are promoting and even encouraging this social disruption and degradation of our democracy.
