Solar is about to overtake wind. Generation is set to rise ~600 TWh in 2026, matching last year's record, putting it second only to hydro among renewables. And renewables together are on track to out-generate coal this year.

C'mon @wired.com, you have a chance to do better. Instead of amplifying pseudoscience, why not talk to the patients living with #LongCovid and the researchers studying its biology? Levinovitz is not a physician, neuroscientist, or virologist. His expertise is in religion. Try again!
Alan Levinotvitz, author of the journalist article about Long Covid at Wired. 
He is also the author of "The Gluten Lie" and "Natural". He is an assistant professor of philosophy at James Madison University. Levinovitz shared insight about the connection between religious thinking and dietary philosophy, and the importance of virtue of uncertainty as a guiding character trait.

Remember that the existence of Long Covid and the fact that millions of people worldwide are suffering from it creates an extraordinary dissonance in the minds of a section of the population who wish to believe the falsity that Covid is no longer dangerous, and perhaps never was.

Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.
