Using recirculate mode on my car's ventilation system dramatically lowered the PM2.5 levels inside. Try it out if you're starting to feel that burning/choking feeling.

Many of you in the US Northeast and Central Canada are waking up to the worst air quality in the world (from wildfires). Here is some advice to get through the next few days: - Avoid running, cycling, outdoor sports and strenuous yard work while the air is bad.

The blocking culture of Bluesky gets a lot of derision elsewhere, but if you look at absolute numbers, a minuscule percent of the userbase engages in it. Just 0.3%, 140k out of 43m active users blocked the new AI app.

MSM clueing into to the fact that viruses have chronic impacts. “Officials in ‘23 declared an end to the COVID pandemic. 2 years later, a growing body of research continues to reveal info about the virus’s ability to cause harm long after initial infections resolve, even in some w/ mild symptoms.”

Trump policies at odds with emerging understanding of COVID's long-term harm

Studies offer insights into the health risks and burdens faced by people who have had COVID infections. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has narrowed COVID vaccine recommendations and cut research.

Minneapolis Proved Something MAGA Can’t Accept: Most People Are Actually Virtuous

There's a line buried in Adam Serwer's recent Atlantic piece on the Minneapolis resistance to ICE that deserves to be pulled out, examined, and posted on every lamppost in America: The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. Read that again. It explains so much. Serwer continues:

Ran into a paediatric colleague the other day and we were both stunned by how few cases of RSV that were admitted this winter season. This is a bug that used to fill wards with infants struggling to breathe, all thanks to the new RSV vaccine. Don't let charlatans take these miracles away from you.

Absolute banger of a comment on r/military: www.reddit.com/r/Military/c...

And now comes the most nauseating part of this whole goddamn mess: the hypocrisy. The same loud-mouthed idiots who spent years screaming about tyranny are suddenly dead fucking silent, or worse, cheering, now that it's their side doing it. "ThEy'Re cOminG fOr OuR gUnS!" "GoVerNMenT oVerReAch!" "ShAll nOt bE inFrinGeD!" All that chest-thumping bullshit evaporated the second armed federal agents started terrorizing people they don't like.
Let me get this straight: a civilian gets shot dead by federal agents, and the only thing you brainless cunts can muster is
"well, DHS says he had a gun"? THAT'S your red line? Guns are sacred when they're strapped to your waist, but magically become a death sentence when they're used as a post-hoc excuse by the government? Either the Second Amendment applies to everyone, or you never believed in it at all. Fucking pick one and own it.
This is exactly what tyranny looks like, by the way. Not jackboots marching in formation, but armed agents roaming neighborhoods, stopping people, killing civilians, and then daring the public to question it. Tyranny is execution followed by a press release. Tyranny is labeling the dead a "threat" so the state doesn't have to explain why someone's life just ended in the street. Tyranny is demanding obedience while shredding due process and calling it order.
And all you so-called "freedom lovers" are fucking fine with it, as long as it's brown people, immigrants, protesters, or anyone you've already dehumanized. Turns out "don't tread on me" actually meant "tread on them." You weren't afraid of tyranny.
You were afraid of losing dominance. There's a difference, and this moment exposes it completely.
"Just comply" isn't a principle. It's cowardice dressed up as common sense. It's the language of people who have already accepted that the state gets to decide who deserves rights and who doesn't. And once you make that deal, don't act shocked when the line moves, because it always fuckin…

I think people haven't fully grasped how dominant China is these days. The technological progress they've made (tech, drugs, renewables) makes them impossible to ignore. A well led America could have coordinated a challenge to this, but instead we get this clown show of an admin. Go Canada!

How to deter invasion of Greenland? EU should demand localization of all US tech services. Make AWS, Google etc establish independent EU HQs if they want to keep their business. If not, ban them and spin up local alternatives. Will quickly crash the tech bubble that keeps the US stock market afloat.

Looks like this isn't happening, but if the US attacks Greenland and kills Danish troops, do you seriously think the rest of the Free World will let American companies continue to dominate their tech and social media markets? Surely the techies around Trump have told him this.

A chill should be running down every Canadian's spine. Venezuelan oil is similar to Albertan/Canadian oil, perfect for the refineries on the US Gulf coast. After taking Venezuela, he can embargo Albertan oil and squeeze both Canadian manufacturing and energy exports at once, crushing the economy.

Devastating. Yesterday, a 5-year-old boy died from the flu. Dr. Oz was spewing advice earlier this week where he downplayed the importance of vaccines and recommended “getting sunlight”. I don’t know whether Micah was vaccinated, but of the kids who died from flu last year, 90% were not.
