Looking at that and just imagining how easy it must be to help people find the address:
"It's the house with a fake shark in the roof. Yes, a big fake shark."
Also, I thought there was a @tomscott.com video about this:

I think my core explanation for Starmer/Labour's inability to change strategy is that they're essentially a highly factional Labour Right dog, that caught the car. But it turns out their theory of how to drive (keep going right), isn't working, but going to the left is so anathema to who they are.

Huh, I could only see maybe 1-2 mediay people if that, and I had to show replies hidden by this anti-transphobia moderation list I use, though maybe it's hiding more than I can see a button to unhide/Marie has hit the block button a bit.

Ah yes, a tiny number of people holding up placards saying unpleasant stuff, definitely somehow justifies and explains embracing bigotry towards an entire minority group..

Our conversation about immigration is framed entirely on Nigel Farage’s terms.
Labour has completely capitulated the ground to the far right, the racism & the hate.
We no longer have a conversation AT ALL about how we need immigration & when we cut it, we pay the price. #r4today

In case you weren't aware:
It continues to be fucking maddening to me that we actually *do* have a technical solution to the problem of not being able to tell if an image is AI generated/edited (the Content Credentials standard that digitally signs content), but neither Apple or Google have bothered to properly implement it.

Limiting replies to people who follow you will probably deal with 90% of it, though as someone pointed out below, you've only blocked 2 people in total, and those were earlier this year, so combined with how baity your original post was, I'm a bit unsure if you actually want a solution.

do you wanna know how thorough Dr. Veldhoen's takedown of this garbage is? it's *fifty* pages long single spaced.
I don't know if these people misrepresented *every single paper* that they cited, but, uh, it's pretty close! one might even call this disinfo marcveldhoen.substack.com/p/the-abuse-...

..you mean the one that's been utterly debunked and was debunked in the thread you originally replied to?
this paper is from jan 2022 and you will note that t-cell/lymphocite counts rebound in both covid and flu cases to prior baseline.
this is, and I thought this was well known but apparently not, not a feature of HIV. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Actual published scientific evidence for your claim that COVID causes immunodeficiencies.
The thread is about how some people make false comparisons/assertions between COVID and HIV/AIDS.

He's well known by his actual name in terms of published research, though we're still waiting to see your citation(s) for claiming this.
Again, the original point was about clinical presentations, not immune cell subsets. The comparison between COVID and HIV is that they both cause immunodeficiencies, and it's helpful to use HIV as an example because it's an immunodeficiency people are a lot more familiar with.

Because I'm pretty sure hours and other replies rather strongly hinting that you might be trying to dunk on someone who, unlike you, actually is qualified when it comes to immunology, passed between your initial reply, and you posting here.

When you can Google things rather than doubling/tripling down on trying to dunk on someone and just embarrassing yourself, when you could have just Googled "swaledale mutton immunologist"*

I'm sure you can definitely provide high quality citations for that claim, right?
