Somehow, Getting Sick Became Normal — and Trying Not to Became Taboo. @danitasteinberg.bsky.social Source: x.com/danitasteinb...

The text reads: "Even forgetting about COVID for a second... I am STILL flabbergasted that airborne precautions are so taboo! You can’t talk about opening a window? You can’t talk about maybe buying an air filter? You can’t wear a piece of fabric on your face? Why do you people WANT to be sick?"

Donald Trump is not himself the disease of our politics. He’s just the worst symptom. The disease is the system that allows corporations to buy and sell politicians so they can rig it against the rest of us. Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All.

Today I saw the new 4 hour documentary Musk, directed by Alex Gibney. There were too many times to count that a sold out theater burst out laughing at Elon Musk, something he said or did, even sometimes just how he looked. I believe that is his worst nightmare come to life.

So, Banksy bought a used yacht, repaired it and retrofitted it to serve as a rescue boat to save migrants in the central Mediterranean. The whole project cost the artist $860,000. Since 2020, the boat has saved more than 3,800 people. londondaily.com/banksy-funds...

PMC COVlD Update, Sep 21, 2026 (US) 🔥13th COVlD wave 🔥40 states/territories with outbreaks (see Alt text) 🔥3.8 million estimated weekly infections 🔥Outbreaks in NYC 🔥Extremely high levels on the Big Island of HI Mask up and get boosted. 🧵THREAD (1/4)

The US has at least 34 states and territories with COVlD outbreaks. These include Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Guam, Hawai'i, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Utah, Virginia, Washington, and West Virginia. Levels on the Big Island of Hawai’i are particularly high. Note also, the NYC area is seeing outbreaks.

There are likely outbreaks in additional states. The summary statistic of 40 only includes counties with observed data, rather than estimated data. For example, Idaho, Louisiana, Maryland, and Tennessee likely have outbreaks, but monitoring is poor.

And indeed, just 8 hours after this post, we awoke to a Category 5 hurricane. Winds of 160 mph in the core. Polo intensified by 110 mph in 24 hours. That's TRIPLE the rate needed to count as "rapid intensification." Polo is in a very rare, elite league.

The “jaw-dropping” El Niño currently heating up the planet has burst through the highest temperature ever recorded for the phenomenon, several months before its expected peak.

A line chart showing temperature anomalies in the Niño 3.4 region of the Pacific Ocean, compared to a 30-year rolling base period since 1982.

A gold line shows temperatures in 1997, a teal line in 2025, and a red line in 2026. The red line surpasses all others reaching 3.07ºC, and at an earlier point (September) than the previous El Niño that reached a comparable range in November 2015.

Researchers discovered SARS-CoV-2 uses two regions of its spike protein that work together like “keys” to enter human cells. One makes initial contact with the cell membrane, while the other penetrates deeper to trigger fusion. The discovery could help identify new ways to block infection.

The Science Is Clear: COVID Can Leave Lasting Damage Source: x.com/1goodtern/st...

A screenshot of a social media post from X (formerly Twitter) by the user Tern (@1goodtern), dated Sep 13, 2026.
The post features a massive list of prestigious, peer-reviewed medical and scientific journals where studies on the long-lasting after-effects of COVID-19 have been published. Featured publications include Nature Medicine, The Lancet, NEJM, JAMA, BMJ, Science, and Cell, among dozens of others.
Below the list, the author writes a series of short, declarative statements emphasizing that the science surrounding long-term COVID risks is exhaustive and thoroughly researched, rather than "quackery" or "junk science." The text states that infections increase the risk of a vast range of health problems, and that vaccinations or previous infections do not prevent this increase in risk. It concludes with the statement, "The only thing that prevents the increase in risk is to not catch Covid. There’s a wave now, so mask up."
