this might be because I'm Autistic but - the thing that gets me the most about the oligarchy is that most of their wealth is conceptual

just numbers & code

I'm sure some of them have dollar bills piled up & other assets but for the most part what they hoard has no mass or volume

boggles my mind

I wrote about #LongCOVID stealing my lifelong favorite hobby of cycling, learning that e-bikes aren't "giving up" or "cheating," and how riding with assistance gave me back one of the greatest joys of my life. bit.ly/48ohIH5

COVID isn’t acting like the viruses most of us grew up with, and treating it like “just a cold” is putting people at real risk. David Brasure breaks down why SARS-CoV-2 is fundamentally different, how it causes long-term damage, and what we can do to protect ourselves.

Shocker.
So, let's play make-believe and pretend that Prasad has rock solid proof the vaccine killed 10 kids.

He is now sitting on it, refusing to give doctors on the ground the information they need to inform their patients.

The opposite of radical transparency.

Adriana was a nurse. She went to ER for severe headaches & they sent her home

She was brain dead the next day

They turned her into an incubator to gestate a 9 week old fetus. Chance is still hospitalized.

The forced birth brigade call it a miracle but won’t support the family.

Interesting.

I definitely agree with too late, but as for too little… the “lockdowns” did work to bring case numbers down. UK got so close to elimination.

Using airborne precautions would have saved lives and reduced the length of the more harsh measures…
BREAKING: The UK’s response to Covid was “too little, too late”, a damning official report on the handling of the pandemic has concluded, saying the introduction of a lockdown even a week earlier than happened could have saved more than 20,000 lives.

1/ Hey, epidemiologist here 👋

I've been seeing a lot of concern as we enter flu season, so I want to do a quick breakdown of what's going on with #H3N2, the flu strain everyone's been talking about, how it’s mutating, and the best ways you can protect yourself. 🧵

The irony here is painful.

Alice Wong wrote a column for Vogue called Disability Visibility. You can still find all her writing for Vogue under her author name.

But *Disability Visibility* - also the name of the advocacy group she launched - has been erased.

Exactly how disabled people often are.
The new owners of Teen Vogue have already erased her column.

I mention sometimes how investigating local governments turned me into an anarchist. This is a major example.

Black community tries to get a pool fixed? "Change is slow," multi-year process then never happens.

Chamber of commerce wants something evil and costly? Happens within months, even weeks.
Yes. I think it's also a sign of how status quo propaganda around "good change is inherently painfully slow" has seeped into the wider culture, even among radicals (you are not immune to propaganda, etc).

But it was never true! That was just an excuse used to deny basic demands and shut people up.
maybe i’m naive but i think it’s kinda doomerism to always be saying this is gonna take decades to undo or you’ll be old or dead when it ends. first it doesn’t matter, plant trees you won’t live to sit in the shade of. second great change is capable of happening very quickly
