Looks like their plan to boost productivity by ushering everyone back to the office in an ongoing pandemic didn't play out as expected

Excellent public health messaging from New York City!!

Be the happy peace sign waving emoji instead of the sick and sniffling emoji.

How can you do that?

Wear a mask! Ideally a respirator like an N95.

It’ll help keep you and your community safe.
Graphic from nyc public health that says “wear a mask this fall” It shows two yellow emoji people. One on the left is wearing a white mask and making a peace sign. The one on the right is wearing a scarf and blowing its nose.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed reindeer was a black sheep because of something on his face that stood out. So when people give you a hard time over the mask on your face, just remember that Rudolph saved Christmas and you’re a badass motherfucker too, out there saving lives and shit. 😷❤️

'"There is no good way to say this" but to say this: AI is the antithesis of education. It is the antithesis of the future. As such, it is a kind of epistemological death, and I recognize... we have long been surrounded by such efforts; we are grieving already. And yet, we go on.'

A hard truth is that the search for artificial general intelligence as a commercial tool is fundamentally a reproduction of slavery. Not because computers are people or anything so silly, but because of the impetus: To acquire the products of humanity without the need for a human to consent.

🗞️Extract from Washington Post interview with @philippullman.bsky.social

🖋️It's still concerning the impact #LongCovid is having on writers.

Cover of the book The Rose Field, The Book of Dust, Volume Three by Philip Pullman. The cover art shows a camel and rider silhouetted against a dramatic, cloudy, orange and yellow desert sky. In the lower right corner, there is a quote from the author that reads: "Was this one more of a struggle than previous books? Yes, for several reasons, not the least because it's longer. I didn't want it to be long - I wanted it to be a nice little short book - but somehow it grew and grew and grew. Another reason is, of course, I've got to tie up all the different threads, to get them all knotted together. And the third reason is simply that I'm older. I've always written by hand, three pages a day - about a thousand words every day, but this book was more difficult because covid came along, and it's left its mark on me. I'm tired all the time. My hands hurt. In fact, my wrists hurt so much I can't hold the pen very easily anymore. So I couldn't write this one by hand as I had for the

The pandemic has, and continues to have, significant effects on global politics. I am certain that in the future entire books will be written on this subject, but these effects can be distilled to one concept: the vast majority of people have normalised that which is abnormal.

But remember — it was “mild for children” 🙃

Just think about it.

Seriously.

They told you that covid infection would not harm children, and now long covid is the *most common chronic illness in children*.

People continue to call COVID advocates’ pleas for masking “unreasonable”.

Yet people who’ve already been disabled by COVID have no choice but to live with the “unreasonable” burdens of constant COVID safety.

My latest:

Beyond all reason
Long COVID patients are constantly harangued about our requests for COVID safety. Yet what we're asking for is far less than what we're called on to do to survive.

Years ago, scientists warned us that Covid would create an "unfathomable" crisis of longterm illness that included diseases not typically diagnosed as "Long Covid." Now a fight over exploding healthcare costs has shut down the government. These two things are connected.

How I wish this Mary Oliver poem was not so prescient about this terrible moment we are all living through #poetry #poems #truth
OF THE EMPIRE We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many. We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity. And they will say that this structure was held together politically, which it was, and they will say also that our politics was no more than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of the heart, and that the heart, in those days, was small, and hard, and full of meanness.
