We had a bunch of Wild King at TFN, or so I'm told. They all sold before I made it down to that end of the table. We will try to get a bunch more for Reading!

"... the best advice I have to give is to ask: 'in what way is this argument founded in the premise that some people matter and other people don't?'"

Today I wrote about a general tendency to accept atrocious premises, and the need to reject fascism's false choices in order to find expansive and imaginative paths forward.

Breaking the premise, embracing the obstacles, pursing everything.

We actually aren't constrained into atrocious premises by thought exercises. Obstacles are a reason to fight, not an excuse to quit. Our friends and neighbors aren't distractions..

“Both pandemics exhibit failures in global solidarity and reveal inequities in healthcare access.”

So for everyone who has said that comparisons between HIV and COVID-19 are inflammatory and irresponsible, I’m sharing this new article in the American Journal of Preventative Medicine that does just that and finds some clear parallels:

www.ajpmfocus.org/article/S277...
A screenshot of article highlights: • HIV/AIDS and COVID-19 are preventable infectious diseases with chronic systemic impacts including immune system dysfunction. • Chronic inflammation, immune exhaustion, and accelerated biological aging are shared hallmarks of HIVI/AIDS and Long COVID/PASC. • Tissue reservoir persistence drives long-term damage in both HIV and SARS-CoV-2. SARS-CoV-2 mirrors HIV-1 in its ability to evade immune defenses and cause chronic infection. • SARS-CoV-2 -associated neurological disorders (SAND) parallel HIV-associated neurological disorders (HAND). • Both pandemics exhibit failures in global solidarity and reveal inequities in healthcare access.

I didn't even think of that. The protein guys put a character on the front of their tubs who was, at his peak of pop cultural impact, reduced to powder.

I can't tell if that's genius or madness.

Starscream, that famously physically powerful and imposing character who *isn't* famous in pop culture for being shoved in metaphorical lockers for running his mouth in front of someone stronger than him.

Gotta love working with a chemical where the safety procedure for direct exposure is "apply calcium gluconate gel liberally to affected area while sprinting to nearest hospital".

Dark Souls 1: nothing behind the waterfall but bare rock. Never forget that Miyazaki loves knowing you are suffering.

Dark Souls 1 dlc: okay fine here's a chest with a titanite slab in it you WHINERS but you have to get past Kalameet to get to it.

I am being asked to tell my department which pieces of lab equipment should be supported with backup power because they expect rolling blackouts and brownouts in 2026 due to increased energy demands from AI. In case you're wondering how my day is going.

"Transsexuality is bourgeois" reflects the common belief that medicine, technology, and any improvements to quality of life are owed to capitalism. The reality is that capitalism holds these improvements hostage for the sake of wealth.
