Metformin has been shown to reduce the risk of Long COVID. Why isn’t it more widely used? - The Sick Times

Recent studies add evidence to a prior phase 3 clinical trial, suggesting that taking the diabetes drug during acute COVID-19 reduces the risk of long-term symptoms.

A new Russian review in IJMS shows how SARS-CoV-2 reshapes the epigenome - weaving together known mechanisms into something deeper.
It’s not just long COVID.
It’s a virus that rewrites the factory that makes immune cells - the bone marrow🧵

RwB is a wonderful B film. Columbia knew how to showcase Ann Miller. MGM never figured it out. Do yourself a favor and find this film. Ann sparkles and the big band performances are special.

the democratic party’s basic problem is it has almost no control over how its message reaches the ears of voters, especially outside of presidential election years. but rather than devote serious time, attention and cash to that problem its consultants and pundits want to fight factional battles

My kids adored Loonette, as did I. So funny that Alyson moved on from that to voicing Resident Evil. What a hoot.

I want you to watch it.

I want you to understand that wiping it out has been a major Russian imperial objective for literally centuries—under the Tsars, under the Soviets, and now.

I almost always re post Ida Lupino

The Twilight Zone @thenightgallery.bsky.social · 2d

Ida Lupino was only 41 when she starred in Twilight Zone's "The Sixteen-Millimeter Shrine."

I think Rod Serling, in this homage to "Sunset Boulevard," was (again) ahead of his time in showing how Hollywood has long marginalized and discarded many "old" female stars.

From June Lockhart’s NY Times obit.

RIP to a real one.

A political liberal, Ms. Lockhart had no illusions about the good old days. In a 2004 interview with The New York Times, she recalled a connection "Lassie" script writers had with McCarthy-era blacklisting.

"When people come up to me and say, 'Well, sure wish we had wonderful American shows like that the way we used to in the '50s;
I say: 'Let me tell you who wrote those scripts' Yes, they were good Americans, and they were in jail."

Never in my life did I think I would see this from a mayor to police: “We would like the Aurora Police Department to play a historic role in defending the United States of America, and our city against fascism. We have a unique opportunity to do something different….”

Stephanie Kollmann @slkollmann.bsky.social · 2d

I haven't seen people here mention this letter from the mayor of Illinois' 2nd-largest city (Aurora, 40+% Latino)

to the Aurora Police

following egregious attacks by immigration in Aurora and related protests

So here it is!

Hello Chief and APD Leadership,

I just wanted to jot a quick thank you note for those who participated in this meeting with the Latino community about ICE in our neighborhoods.

Sadly, this problem is not going away anytime soon. Historically, the police have been on the wrong side of history during the civil rights movement and the labor movement - defending capital. The pivotal points in American history are when police realized that their solidarity should be with labor; not capital.

Labor vs. police: Learning from working-class history Workers World

In this current struggle, I believe that we are 2-3 years away from a moment where we see the shift in solidarity.

I would like to see Aurora lead, and show something different. It will create discomfort during the transformation. I noticed during the march towards Blue Kangaroo, when the police escort disappeared, that activists I didn't know used their vehicles to block the intersections and protect the marchers.

All living things have the capacity to evolve and grow. Government is about to go through a huge evolutionary period and shed that which is not necessary, and re-focus on what is important.

As government continues to disintegrate from the top down, we have an opportunity to re-invent the ways we find food, water, shelter and protection.

We would like the Aurora Police Department to play a historic role in defending the United States of America, and our city against fascism. We have a unique opportunity to do something different, leave our mark in the history books, and make a difference. I'm excited about the opportunity and look forward to discussing it further.

Respectfully, John Laesch Mayor, City of Aurora laesch@aurora.il.us
