1. The single most pernicious and damaging societal imperative I see in action right now, with Ireland in a Covid wave, is this: 'There's no need to test'. Why? Not just because it tacitly normalises unmitigated transmission, but, more importantly, it hides Long Covid.

Even the CDC has stated that COVID is present all year round People should be allowed to get the most up to date COVID vaccine at least twice a year (or more) if they choose to Protection from infection doesn’t last longer than 2 to 3 months

That's very much how I feel about "How the Sehlat Ate Its Tail" - it LOOKS and FEELS like Star Trek on the surface, but straight up has "I only felt bad for killing them when I found out they were human" and Pike telling Kirk that's fine. It's bad, actually!

Reposting from X. I can't stress this enough. We live in a fascist society. When capitalism strips stories of their context and meaning and sells them back as empty nostalgia, they stop questioning power and become just aesthetics. That’s how we forget what they were meant to teach us.
A tweet change. Original tweet from Dave Blass - "I don't want to get ostrich sized by the Star Trek fans but the old Gorn isn't cool.  Sure, make me the escape goat for "Nu-Trek" but irregardless of the canon which was just a piece of bamboo anyway. I think the whole argument is a moo point. Am I wrong?"

Jessie's response - My issue with the new Gorn isn’t canon changes—it’s that SNW stripped away their purpose. The original Gorn weren’t monsters; they were defending their space after the Federation accidentally trespassed. The point was learning to negotiate, not shoot. (1/3)Now they’re xenomorph knockoffs—missing both Trek’s message & what the xenomorph in Alien represented (exploitation, both corporate & sexual). It's nostalgia without meaning. Change, updating stuff, and not being beholden to canon is fine, but context gives depth & meaning. (2/3) Also -- most importantly - the guy in the gorn rubber suit WAS cool! I'll double fist fight about it! (3/3)

... I feel like SNW!Spock probably has a tattoo or 3. Maybe because he said being on the Enterprise allows him to explore his human side (iirc). #TVDiary2025

I also recently learned there are pregnant people who find out they’re positive for group B strep and avoid taking the antibiotics they’re prescribed before delivery because they want a “natural alternative.”

For more than 666 days, we have been living a tragedy that humanity has never witnessed before. We are living killing, displacement, starvation, homelessness, and the closure of borders. We are civilians. Open the crossings for us and fight as you wish.

What I always try to point out: in a social species like humans, the definition of “fittest” is not actually the strongest, meanest, smartest, most aggressive, etc.

NGL, South Park telling kids for nearly 30 years that apathy is cool and caring is embarrassing is part of how we got here. Not gonna fawn over a stopped clock inevitably being slightly right about something. Yes, coalitions, but not giving harmful shit passes just because someone made you laugh.

The spikes in heart attack deaths have tracked with surges of COVID-19 infection. ..Furthermore, the data showed the increase was most significant among individuals ages 25-44. COVIDisnotover #cleantheair #maskforyourlife www.cedars-sinai.org/newsroom/cov...

COVID-19 Surges Linked to Spike in Heart Attacks
New data analysis from the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai found that deaths from heart attacks rose significantly during pandemic surges, including the COVID-19 Omicron surges, overall reversing a heart-healthier pre-pandemic trend.Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, heart attacks were the leading cause of death worldwide but were steadily on...

the real victims are the Pod Save America guys
Tweeting "I told you so" at people who change their mind about what's happening in Gaza does nothing to help the kids who are being starved to death. Welcome people into the tent. Build a bigger coalition and use it to force political change.

This this this! Like, it started during the early days of the pandemic with institutions guilting people into going back to the office and taking their masks off and it's only gotten so much more worse.

I hope everyone enjoys Wave 11 of Covid. Anyone who says, “during the pandemic” should be interrupted immediately mid-sentence wherever they are as it’s 💯 disinformation. - Widespread geo spread - Sustained p2p transmission - Large-scale impact Wanting to forget = intentional communication error
