A great thing about capitalism is that creating something a lot of children like, Minecraft, Harry Potter or in this case Roblox enables you to massively boost (far) right politics.

This is just it. They’re privileged enough to know that if it doesn’t work out they won’t be disadvantaged by the consequences of their right wing political turn, but they will have made themselves desirable to a string of corporates who will offer rather lovely consulting positions.

We’re a country fuelled by spite. Individual happiness only possible with the knowledge someone else is being made to suffer for having the temerity to exist. All that’s changed is the politeness that used to hide it reasonably well.

We've been getting ten times as much coverage of Charlie Kirk getting airholed as this news out of Nepal, and I think that says a great deal about how craven, terminally twitter brained and America-pilled our media is, more than the relative importance of the stories. share.google/OzKpsg7gUAbn...

The impulse was already there and had been for a while, white nationalism isn’t new. GG caused the creation/expansion of online infrastructure for networking, community building (mainly among young online people) and spreading/testing of tactics and propaganda. But it didn’t invent the fasc wheel.

It's a paper from last year, but it still pains me to think that we could have achieved elimination without resorting to lockdown, simply by implementing universal respirator usage alone. Not masks, respirators. It's still not too late.
Aerosol leak (left) from a mask is substantial, whereas with an N95 respirator (right), there is complete block of aerosol escape. That means zero transmission.

Roughly this time last year, at the end of June, we had a short heat spike of a few days. My mum always struggled when temps got above 25c. On 30th June she had a heart attack and died.

Dr Sean Mullin on C19 & brain changes.
I've spent two decades studying how brains age. And I've never seen anything quite like this.
In normal aging, some neurons die-but it's gradual, region-specific, and the brain compensates remarkably well. Most of what we see is driven by loss of synaptic connections, not widespread neuron death.
Behavioral changes tend to be slow, subtle, and mostly involve executive function.
In neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, it's different. These diseases kill neurons. The decline is faster, deeper, and more functionally disabling.
What we're seeing in young adults after SARS-CoV-2 infection doesn't fit either pattern.
We're seeing signs of early, widespread cognitive impairment-slowed thinking, weakened memory, executive dysfunction. Not just in one domain. Not just in one region.
Almost every study that looks for brain damage post-infection finds it.
This suggests accelerated neural de-differentiation-a breakdown in howspecialized brain regions communicate and function. It's something we normally see decades later.
Impairment doesn't always mean permanent disability. But if neurons are dying, those cells aren't coming back. And yes-cognitive disabilities have also spiked dramatically since
2020. There's no other plausible explanation for the scale and timing of this trend.
Meanwhile, self-styled truth-tellers with zero background in neuroscience or cognition keep minimizing the risks-spreading the idea that these impairments are rare, minor, or imagined.
Speak up with evidence? You're called an extremist.
Refuse to play along? You're accused of fear-mongering.
My biggest mistake? Thinking these folks were just misinformed.
They're not. They're propagandists.
It's 2025.
The damage is measurable.
The science is clear.
And the longer we pretend this is normal, the worse the outcomes will be.

Global average temperature is expected to rise to almost 2C above preindustrial in the next five years, according to the WMO, with falls in crop yields and more than a third of the world’s population being exposed to extreme heat. People, I'm sorry but we have to deal with this. Later is too late.

Wait til the transphobes aren't happy with this either because they don't actually want trans people to be able to take part in public life at all, even in entirely separate categories. One day these people will realise there is no capitulation that will ever make them happy.
