We’ll all be chugging protein drinks and swallowing deworming tablets and talking about “that which cannot be named” while our social media feeds tell us that anyone who died did not do enough push-ups…

As always, I’m grateful to @microbetv.bsky.social for the opportunity to blow off some steam. It is both a relief and a light in the darkness that has descended upon us. It will get much darker if people stop vaccinating against polio
@angierasmussen.bsky.social returns to discuss recent statements by pediatric cardiologist and ACIP chair Kirk Milhoan on measles and polio vaccine recommendations.

Idiotic cranks speaking to cranky idiots about things neither of them understands, are too lazy to learn about, and will only attract the most gullible believers like @ryangrim.bsky.social that so need this story to be true as to lose any and all sense to just think about it longer than 5 seconds.
Redfield is a Trump appointee and known crank. If COVID was circulating in summer of 2019, the entire timeline of the pandemic would be different. Chinese authorities were not "pushing the wet market narrative," they actively covered it up.

The bots populating Moltbook apparently all come to sound like a familiar kind of internet denizen with delusions of philosophical grandeur. Manifestos and declarations all over the place.
Somebody created an Reddit clone exclusively populated by personal digital agents and let them interact with each other. It’s bonkers, fascinating and terrifying in equal measure.

@philippmarkolin.bsky.social investigated the weird, conspiratorial evolution of the #lableak idea for #SARS-CoV2.

Targeted to laypeople, they explore how LLMs work, what they can do, and what impacts they have on learning, well-being, disinformation, the workplace, the economy, and the environment.

Some very true words about the COVID-19 #lableak hypothesis:
“In fact, the continued lack of evidence for a lab leak would just be considered by fervent believers to be more evidence for the alleged extensiveness of the conspiracy. But what about scientific evidence pointing in the other direction?
