This is a really good point that I had not run into before: these "creators" have no further insight into their alleged creation than the average audience member and that is why it cannot be called art (besides all the other obvious reasons).

Sure, let’s just keep allowing ALL the viruses to run rampant infecting everyone all the time so we create even more new and improved SUPER viruses that will bring society back to the good old days of 30-year life expectancy. Great job Public Health! 👍
There's a new strain of mpox in the UK that's a combo of clade 1 & clade 2. It appears that specifics re: transmissibility & virulence are as yet unknown.

It's a pretty interesting recombination event, b/c it means someone was infected w/ both clades at the same time.

A new mpox variant has been identified in the UK. Should we be worried?
The new strain combines both currently recognised strains of the virus – clade I and clade II. Scientists are watching closely.

New Lancet meta-analysis finds measles vaccine immunity wanes over time, with seropositivity dropping from ~93% within 10 yrs to ~83% at 16–22 yrs.

The authors say their findings warrant an urgent review of vaccination strategies

Measles Vaccine Protection Wanes After a Decade
Individuals who receive a measles-containing vaccine maintain seropositivity for a decade; however, the vaccine’s protection declines gradually thereafter.

It’s hard to even know where to begin with this. Professor Falk is in his 90s and one of the world’s most prominent international legal scholars. It beggars belief that he could even remotely be considered a threat to Canada.

Living with Long COVID often feels like living in a horror movie. Along with your disease comes a creepy Hive Mind refusal to acknowledge the dangers of COVID infection. In Vince Gilligan's new Apple TV show Pluribus, the Hive Mind comes to life:

Well these are some awfully low numbers. Good to keep in mind for timing your shot, and a *great* reminder to mask consistently.

Researchers looked at 1.8M Americans. (Only ~13% got the 2024–25 COVID shot)

🔸Protection against infection was ~45% at 4 weeks, ~36% at 10 weeks, and ~17% at 20 weeks

🔸Protection against ER visits was 45% → 43% → 39%

🔸Strongest was against hospitalisation/death: 57% → 50% → 34%

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Sneaking it in with less than an hour to go, my final Candy Corn Vagina Dentata reskeet of the year. It will be another eleven months before I go on this frenzy again.
Annual reminder, for an easy Halloween craft, stack your candy corn to resemble a vagina dentata.

You know, the USDA used to be useful. They put out cookbooks for schools for years, all intended to serve hundreds of kids for around (a constant) $1.35 per meal.

Our border officers are essential to our security— keeping drugs, guns, and criminals out of our communities.
 
So, we’re investing in the Canada Border Services Agency to hire 1,000 new officers who will keep our borders secure and our streets safe.

There is an actual life-changing conflict between WFH being cheaper and more efficient, an entire layer of middle managers who need to have meetings to feel alive, and the commercial real estate cabal that runs all cities. It’s going to get so fucking weird.
remote work is like birth control or UBI atp where there’s overwhelming research consensus they improve quality of life for people they apply to, yet access is impeded or blocked by the ruling class because the thought of marginalized ppl having rich full lives makes steam come out their ears
2. Rolling Stone is owned by a large media conglomerate, which is ending remote work across its brands.

My home is Portland, Oregon, ~1,000 miles from the nearest office, so this marks the end of the line for me at RS.

Hey Toronto, spotted what might be riot cops outside Roundhouse Park near the convention center near Bremner Blvd and Lower Simcoe St. 4 small unmarked vans earlier, maybe more now. Saw two with leg pouches that might be gas masks
