I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

The FDA just announced they won’t release their “safety review” of abortion pills until March of next year. In other words: They’re stalling until after the midterms.

FDA says it will complete safety review of abortion pill in March
A federal judge in Louisiana ordered the FDA to provide an update on its safety study as part of a lawsuit seeking to overturn a provision allowing mifepristone to be delivered by mail.

There are millions and millions of people in the US with long covid, and it will continue to be that many or larger as the damage from repeat infections continues to rack up. While I appreciate the sentiment here, minimizing is minimizing and has to be called out. “Unlucky few” is absurd.

The rush to accuse, without anything approaching due diligence, artists of using "AI," should be treated with contempt. An artist gets their work *ripped off* to train a plagiarism machine, which then shits out inferior versions of that work, so then you accuse the artist of using "AI"? Fuck you.

This is an entirely new phenomenon because before the vaccine, most women who survived measles were immune because they had it when they were young. But now, idiots who refuse to get vaccinated are giving birth to babies with measles. Two babies have died. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
nbcnews.com
America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.
Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.

It’s so cute to see everyone having fun with this,you might enjoy the other story about Covid this morning, about a young mom with long covid who killed herself, possibly partially because her husband describes it as her being “obsessed” with her health and “refusing” to get out of bed.

In May 2003, writer Simon Wessley opined about “World Trade Center Syndrome”, claiming that traumatized, anxious Manhattanites were experiencing a psychological problem, and not the real physical symptoms they were reporting. Thousands would later die from exposure to toxic chemicals from 9/11.
How have we reached this state of affairs?
Our reactions to the anthrax episode cannot be seen in isolation, or without reference to our general views of health, illness and risk.
Similarly, the emergence of 'World Trade Syndrome', a vague collection of symptoms among the residents of Lower Manhattan, blamed on various 'toxins' released after the collapse of the Twin Towers, only makes sense in the context of a seemingly endless list of other mysterious symptoms and syndromes that are blamed on similar toxic disasters.
