Watching @ronnychieng.bsky.social hosting @thedailyshow.com tonight. Here's your "always two" @timmiller.bsky.social & @jonfavs.bsky.social that y'all referenced on @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social. #APOLOGIZE for #punchingdown people protecting themselves and loved ones. #oneoftwo #covid #masking

If @timmiller.bsky.social @jonfavs.bsky.social @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social don't want to #mask, that's...a choice. But #mocking those that need to protect their health or that of their loved ones is disappointing and cruel. #SARS-CoV-2 #longcovid #H5N1 #HPAI #Flu #RSV #measles #tuberculosis #mpox
Given your advocacy for #survivors of 9-11, how can you #advocate for victims and survivors of terrorist attacks and mock those of a global #pandemic where we are losing similar numbers daily? What about those disabled with long covid? We can prevent this with good #masking protocols. #Anosognosia

UNVERIFIED.

This seems suspicious, but this administration doesn't operate within norms. Anyone have insight into #RFKJr hiding 2 new #H5N1 cases in #DC? Is there anyone that has contacts in #CDC who can verify/debunk this?

With CDC effectively blacked out, we're flying blind, searching for info.

We're already seeing plants decreasing #carboncapture capacity. Apparently, there's precedent for this. Not great that we're doing this at 10 times the rate than before. #globalwarming #climatechange

56 million years ago, the Earth suddenly heated up – and many plants stopped working properly
It could be a sign of what’s to come.

@enkiresearch.bsky.social, do you have any thoughts about the earthquakes in Afghanistan and how they'll survive the winter?

@johnfugelsang.bsky.social is phenomenal. Whether you've seen him on The Nightcap, Daily Show, or follow his sharp, witty, and insightful commentary on his eponymous podcast or if this is your first encounter, his love of our country is undeniable.

This is not a time to stay silent. We protect EVERYBODY. They are coming for us all and are using a small part of our society to establish precedence and to desensitize us is a strategy. #transrights #humanrights #equality #resist #LGBTQ+ #solidarity
1. Today, the NYT has reported that 100 members of an ERG-adjacent LGBTQ+ chat in the intelligence community have been fired.

This is a new McCarthyism, a new lavender scare meant to remove LGBTQ+ in government, and the way this was done should shake us all.

We need to start using #masks again. There's too much going on right now that masks and hand washing can mitigate.

Just to recap what is happening, since public health has gone AWOL:

* This is the worst flu season in 15 years. Not just number of cases but number of *severe* cases.

@mcuban.bsky.social has done so much for drug pricing in America. This is a worthy parallel lane to pursue. Expiration dates for drugs (and food for that matter) are arbitrary. Doctors stated that, “neither…had heard of anyone being harmed by any expired drugs.”
It’s an open secret among medical professionals: Many drugs maintain their ability to combat ailments well after their expiration date. One pharmacist says he sometimes takes home expired OTC medicine so he and his family can use it.

(Published 2017, but there's no expiration date for this story)
The Myth of Drug Expiration Dates
Hospitals and pharmacies are required to toss expired drugs, no matter how expensive or vital. Meanwhile the FDA has long known that many remain safe and potent for years longer.

#H5N1 is decimating commercial and back yard flocks. Less #farmworkers will impact the price of groceries. We are in a natural #foodcrisis. We do not need to have a manufactured one compounding it. Is mass #immigrant roundups worth our national food security?

Why is 47 doing this and to what end?

1. I am of the firm belief that it is now impossible to get H5N1 out of the ecosystem of North America. Bluntly put, there is now simply too much virus present in wild birds and mammals to be able to contain it. There are also likely many more human cases than reported.
