"At the beginning of the pandemic it was widely assumed that COVID had little impact on children or adolescents. Recent research says otherwise, notes Bar-Yam. “Now this new information has to be digested by society.”"

This Physicist Says We Don’t Take COVID Seriously Enough | The Tyee

We downplay the virus at our peril, warns Yaneer Bar-Yam. And children are more at risk than we thought.

COVID never stopped being a longterm problem, in all sorts of ways. Studies are online. Be informed, not intentionally uninformed.

"About 2.7% of children born to mothers who had Covid-19 while pregnant were diagnosed with autism, compared with about 1.1% of others, according to the study..."

Autism diagnosis rates higher among children born to mothers who had Covid-19 during pregnancy, study suggests | CNN

Children may be more likely to be diagnosed with autism and other neurodevelopment disorders if their mother had a Covid-19 infection while pregnant, according to a new study.

GOP: Our tent is big enough for racists, rapists, Nazis – and maybe a pedophile, but only if they supercharge the base.

As a normal, reasonably well-informed American, it just occurred to me that I have no idea what a rational plan would be to deal with this.

It seems like there should be one, and more people should know about it in order to advocate for it.

Doing nothing and just waiting is not a plan.

The AI industry doesn’t want you to know that massive job displacement is coming. They don’t want government to do anything to slow it or protect workers from it because AI leaders are planning to become trillionaires (not kidding) by destroying your jobs.

I'm not saying he doesn't have a point, but also Winsome Earle-Sears appears to be a remarkably weak GOP candidate.

You can't ignore who the specific candidates are when evaluating the reasons for their success or failure.

1. A watershed moment.

The President of the Heritage Foundation and Heritage Action, Kevin Roberts , has announced that the organization is standing by Tucker Carlson in the aftermath of Tucker’s interview with neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes.

Essentially it is this, yes.

Jason Kander posts:

Republicans: Let us take doctors away from sick people or we’re gonna take food away from poor families.”
He ends with the hashtag #shutdown2025.

The pool of winners is getting smaller in America, and the pool of losers is getting bigger.

Billionaires didn't buy the government to help the losers.

We should have mandatory financial literacy classes in this country –

Including for Boomers who don't understand that they thrived under American socialism, and the younger generations are getting crushed by the natural metastasis of capitalism that started when they fell for Reagan's bullshit.
