I read a lot. Goal in life: to be a brain in a jar. Not quite there yet.
To me, it sounds like something he heard at home growing up. It certainly sounds like something a shitty parent would say. As his brain dissolves, there's no telling what similar gems will emerge.
I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

40 years later… And the thing is, we already have mountains of data NOW that show what COVID does to brains. Why can’t we acknowledge it? Why can’t we face it? Why can’t we say it?
My dad trained as a neurosurgeon in the late ‘50s and they were still studying the long term neurological effects of the Spanish flu.

I want to underscore something very important: Nearly _no one_ knows how many COVID infections they've had.
Just how many they've noticed.
For an infection that causes tremendous systemic damage with repeat infectious, that is a HUGE deal.

This person was infected with COVID twice and recovered. A 3rd infection brought manageable long COVID symptoms, but they were still able to work. After a 4th infection a few months ago, they haven’t recovered at all — showing how repeated infections can cause severe, lasting damage.

I've seen so many people online using the government shutdown as an opportunity to demonize people who receive SNAP benefits, WIC and any kind of government assistance.
