We're half a decade into studies finding that improving airflow in classrooms will reduce disease transmission enormously, and that bleaching surfaces etc. does very little. And yet nothing changes. Waves of flu and colds wash over schools, and the schools pretend it's an act of God.

The relative importance of close-proximity interactions, shared space and air quality to the transmission of respiratory viruses is not well understood. Here, the authors investigate this question by ...

Zygi Wilf told me other teams keep eating his quarterbacks so I asked how many quarterbacks he has and he said he just goes to the inactive roster and gets a new one afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding quarterbacks to the defense and then Minnesota started crying.

Twin cities I know it’s cold but I’m begging you if you’re able to walk the main business corridors in your neighborhood.

Netflix would finish Archive 81 or I would seize and nationalize them
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

White supremacists, TERFs, etc. want to say racist, misogynistic and transphobic things while still maintaining that they are the victim. Even though people made fun of Charlie Kirk because of his behavior and not his identity, they still considered it an attack on white people. Conservatives.

The harassment is never going to stop as long as the companies give in. They're going to fire every person of color, everyone in the LGBT community, every woman, and that still won't placate the "trolls." They'll just assign white male employees they don't like the title of "liberal" and keep going.

Got the furnace serviced today and the guy asked about carbon monoxide detectors so it’s a good day to share my favorite reason for ensuring your CO detectors are fully functional as the winter approaches:
Carbon monoxide is never funny, but one of my best friend’s CO alarm went off at about 11pm after a particularly cold OU-Texas weekend Saturday.
They had had their roof replaced and the vent of their HVAC was not reconnected to the outside air so when the heater kicked on CO just flooded the attic

In MN it's both Give to the Max day and Trans Day of Remembrance. While you're giving to your favorite non-profits, consider also giving mutual aid directly to trans folks who are more likely to live in poverty, face health disparities, and govt threats. www.instagram.com/tctransmutua...
