Let's be very clear that one of the major effects of the CDC no longer recommending various vaccinations is that it becomes much harder for folks who still want to be—or want their children to be—vaccinated to get their insurance providers to cover those vaccinations.

Congress was always disturbingly dysfunctional but it was far more tolerable when they weren’t letting the guy who almost murdered them be president.

I suggest you read it yourself because the section on europe is basically an announcement that they want to diminish the EU and support the rise of the far right across europe. Including "restoring european greatness" by tending to the "character" of the nations

Who better to tackle the massive topic of HIV, AIDS and PrEP than @silverbd.bsky.social, a French Planned Parenthood volunteer who also happens to be gay, polyamorous, and on PreP himself? 1/2
www.ohjoysextoy.com/aids-hiv-pre...
A cartoony drawing of a white man is introducing himself saying, "Hi! My name is Silver, I'm a French cartoonist and I volunteer and work at the French Planned Parenthood." He is holding a bunch of drawing utensils in his left hand and in his right is a picket sign reading "SMASH THE PATRIARCHY". As he happily tosses blue pills into the air like confetti, he announces, "I'm also a polyamorous gay guy who started taking PrEP last year!" Silver narrates over a flashback of various sexual encounters he's had, all while looking anxious or worried. "Being on PrEP has changed how I experience sex. It's lifted a weight I didn't even know I was carrying." In his flashbacks, he worries to himself, "What if the condom breaks? Remember that article on that guy who caught HIV with a blow job? Do we REALLY trust this guy?? Did you see the ratio of infected gay men? It's only a matter of time!" Present day Silver returns, saying "HIV was always there, in a small corner of my mind, haunting me. And information and PrEP has helped free me from that." Silver presents the floating titles "HIV Human Immunodeficiency Virus" and "AIDS Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome" while narrating, "So let's get into it! I'm here to talk about HIV, AIDS and PrEP! First and foremost, the important thing to know about the big and scary HIV and AIDS, is that they are not the same thing. HIV is the name of the virus. And AIDS is the name of a condition, caused by HIV. One of the most important parts of our immune system are our CD4 cells which are also known as white blood cells. These cells fight against all kind of infections." We are taken inside a vein, first showing us blood cells with determined eyes who are glaring down a monstrous yellow cell with evil-looking eyes, teeth, and tentacles. The red blood cells declare, "You shall not pass!" at the invader. Then we see red blood cells that have been infected (they have hollow, zombie-like eyes now, and brown spikey clusters in their membranes) and are splitting into more copies of themselves. NARRATION: What HIV does is that it infects and hides in our CD4 cells. Making it impossible for our body to find and fight. These infected CD4 cells become ineffective, but they still multiply to fight attacks, which helps the HIV multiply too! An man in boxers stands among the following narration. From his boxers upwards, he is colored red. From below his boxers down to his feet, he is colored teal, and the number 600 is written on him- denoting his CD4 count. Full transcript: https://www.ohjoysextoy.com/aids-hiv-prep-silver/ A very worried person asks Silver, "OK. So what do I do if the HIV test comes back positive? It's... incurable, right?" Silver answers reassuringly, "Unfortunately so. BUT there are so many ways to deal with it. Being diagnosed with HIV is not the death sentence it once was. Nowadays, you can live a long and normal life, even with HIV. Over an image of a worried man consulting with a happy medical practitioner, the narration reads, "The most important thing to do when you discover you're HIV-positive is to go see a doctor as quickly as possible, to discover your CD4 cell count, and start an Antiretroviral Therapy (ART). The sooner you start the treatment the better." The text continues over an illustration of a confident young man who is looking at a collection of over-sized pills that are floating around his head. "ART is a mix of different HIV medicines and the regimen will depend on your CD4 count, your medical background and other particular needs. To each their own!" NARRATION: Generally, ART helps lower the amount of virus in your system by hindering and getting in the way of how it grows and proliferates in the body. It gives your body the chance to increase its CD4 count so you can put up a better fight against other opportunistic infections. IMAGE: Back inside a blood stream, we see big beefy red blood cells staring down a smaller invader who looks scared. SILVER: Hopefully, within a matter of months of the right ART treatment, the virus should be restrained and the viral load should drop so low that you'll become undetectable! The nervous guy from earlier asks Silver, "Undetectable?" to which Silver reassuringly responds, "Yup! Through the years of the AIDS epidemic, we discovered that a person can get a viral load so low it becomes undetectable through tests, and essentially untransmittable! They aren't cured, but through diligent use of ART, they've pushed the virus back so much it doesn't even show up any more." NARRATION: That's why it's SO important to begin a treatment as soon as possible and to know your viral load and CD4 count. A different little dude is holding a letter with his results on it while he exclaims, "Yes, finally!" NARRATION: With that data, treatment and follow-ups, it can take only a few months before a HIV-positive person can start having the sex life they want without fear they'll transmit HIV! IMAGE: A hairy man happily reclines on his back while his partner buries his face between his legs. Lots of hearts float around them. NARRATION: It's called "Treatment as Prevention" or TasP for short. NARRATION: It still isn't a cure, and even when you're undetectable, you'll need to keep taking ART for the rest of your life. IMAGE: A person from the shoulders-up stars into the distance in profile with a constellation of pills orbiting around his head.

Impossible to understand the tech leader zeal for humanoid robots unless you realize their homes are filled with human staff whose presence makes them, in a basic way, uncomfortable. They want servants without the trace of subjectivity.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders.

Aluminum is an ADJUVANT.

It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine.

That’s it.

At some point politicians and commentators in Europe might want to start defending our system as really not too bad and far better than any realistic alternative notwithstanding frustration that we aren't all richer.

Elon Musk and his Russian friends call for the abolishment of the EU
On Twitter/X, Elon Musk says: “The EU should be abolished and sovereignty returned to individual countries, so that governments can better represent their people.” Dmitry Medvedev, ex-President and ex-Prime Minister of Russia, a close ally of Vladimir Putin and currently the deputy chairman of the Security Council of Russia, then replies to Elon Musk’s post approvingly, saying “Exactly.”

It's so hard to write dystopian in these conditions. Every time I think "oh, man, this is both diabolically evil and a great social commentary", some corporation does it unironically like 3 weeks later. I'm running out of ideas. 🥴

A couple years (!) in the making: we’re releasing a new corpus of embodied, collaborative problem solving dialogues. We paid 36 people to play Portal 2’s co-op mode and collected their speech + game recordings.

Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2512.03381
Website: berkeley-nlp.github.io/portal-dialo...

1/n
A figure demonstrating the different aspects of the corpus described in the tweet. There is a main isomorphic 3D view of a level in the Portal 2 co-op game, with some portals, lasers, and the blue and orange players. Inset, there are first-person captures of the blue and orange player views. There is also a box containing the transcribed dialogue with timestamps and labels for the discursive acts. Finally, there is a box containing a task and a list of subtasks. Some subtasks are already crossed out, with the time that they have been completed. The last subtask ("Player 2 places portal 4 on wall 4") is marked incomplete. The dialogue is as follows: Blue: Can you put your other portal up here? (tagged as directive) Orange: Where? (tagged as request for clarification) Blue: On uh, on this wall. (tagged as directive) Blue: So that it uh points at the circle. (tagged as directive) Orange: Okay. (tagged as commit) The full list of subtasks is: Task: Redirect lasers Subtask: Player 1 places portal 1 on wall 1. (completed) Subtask: Player 1 polaces portal 2 on wall 2 or 3. (completed) Subtask: Player 2 places portal 3 opposite of portal 2. (completed) Subtask: Player 2 places portal 4 on wall 4. (incomplete)

i think to understand the meaning of the birthright citizenship clause to the framers of the 14th amendment, you have to understand significance of dred scott to the civil war republican party. dred scott wasn't just a bad ruling, it was understood as a rejection of the declaration itself.

Nothing in media is as fun anymore. Like KPopDH is a bright spot and there have been some great films this year, but you can feel the oppression. The struggle to get it made and seen. The struggle to push away the darkness for a few hours. Maybe it’s just me.
