I’m seeing a new allergist-immunologist and today he brought up this study about how much Astepro nasal spray, which I use daily, appears to decrease the likelihood of COVID, flu, RSV, etc. I have barely gotten a cold since I started using it but had no idea why. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Azelastine Nasal Spray for Prevention of SARS-CoV-2 Infections

This randomized clinical trial evaluates the efficacy of azelastine as a preexposure prophylaxis against SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory pathogens.

Sorry, I had thoughts.

It's the BC Conservatives Quick Survey: Who will you vote for?

Reply
1-Conservative
2-NDP
3-Green
4-Unsure

I'll vote for a pack of rabid raccoons in a trench coat before I ever vote conservative. I'll vote for a corpse before I vote conservative. I'll vote for a ficus before I vote conservative unless that ficus is also conservative at which point I'd vote fern.

Only one of the words in “artificial intelligence” is relevant to the technology being described, so of course that’s the word they want to get rid of. Then again, the new term is now 100% inaccurate bullshit and deeply pathetic, which is at least thematically appropriate.

No, SungWon is absolutely correct here. The insistence on sticking with the Japanese title when there is already a perfectly acceptable English one is utterly asinine. Nobody does this in Japanese literature, or film, or any other art form. It's just the anime nerds who insist on being obtuse.

I just cannot stress this enough: If you attempt a joke that doesn’t land, or you say something unintentionally problematic or hurtful, and somebody checks you on it, there are so many ways to walk it back. Take accountability. Apologize. At minimum, stop saying more words to make it worse!

Excellent thread! There *are* rewards for being A Good Guy Who Speaks Up even if they are not immediately obvious or publicly bestowed. First, integrity is its own reward. Maybe you didn’t save the world or change hearts & minds. But if you held the line on not making it worse, that’s something.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Just speaking for film & TV there isn't really a job loss due to AI. It's been mostly due to successive punches of pandemic, streaming collapse, union strikes, studio consolidation and interest rates. This trend was in place way before Midjourney was pumping out pictures with 14 fingers.

A majority of Americans either voted for this enthusiastically or didn’t bother to stop it.

A crowd at a Trump rally In 2024 hold up placards reading “MASS DEPORTATIONS NOW!” and “MAKE AMERICA STRONG AGAIN!”

Katie Rogers tweets:

“Would you like to request voluntary departure or should I issue a removal order?” the judge asked.

“I don’t know,” Angel, 13, replied before bursting into tears. He stared ahead stoically and continued to cry, eventually saying: “I have no one. I have nothing.”

Quoting a previous tweet from Priscilla Alvarez:

“NEW: In a Texas courtroom Monday, 25 migrant children lined the pews — a nine-year-old rested her head on the table, a six-year-old pretended to fly an airplane, and a three year-old played with the mic. Many in attendance didn’t have an attorney — and a 13-year-old was ordered removed. A look inside through sketches…”

An elderly white woman with a big smile holds up a placard reading “MASS DEPORTATION NOW!”

It’s also common for prosecutors not to comment on open cases. This POS is tainting the minds of future jurors by demolishing Jane’s credibility before he even starts reviewing. He still doesn’t want to prosecute this.

ok I'm a little mad at this because the prosecutor basically blames the victim for the lack of charges. it's common after a media outcry over rape for prosecutors to revisit a case to save face, not out of actual concern for justice. #TW
