HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!

Medical Republic: 'Fibromyalgia finally gets a genetic fingerprint'

'Additionally, certain risk loci overlapped with long covid (BPTF) and ME/CFS (OLFM4, RABGAP1L/GPR52), two poorly characterised disorders, albeit with different lead variants.'

Things have not been good, between Denmark's backdoor push for Chat Control and the US pushing bills like KOSA into big packages.

So here's a new masterpost, first with a new script for US rep calls on bad bills.

Okay let me do the math again because I've somehow reached 8k followers, and most of these are from suspended Palestinians that can't keep an account for longer than two days on this dogshit racist platform.

Let's do a little math and a little think together, dear reader.

A 3-panel-comic style meme, made of stills from the show Gravity Falls. The 1st panel shows a man holding a book and saying "After all these years...", the 2nd shows 3 books labeled "1", "2", and "3", and the 3rd is the same man saying "finally, I have them all." The books are each a different color, and are labelled (respectively) "Cosmic Latte", "Eigengrau", and "olo".

Hi
Thank you for reaching out. We have reviewed your visit documentation and can confirm that the notes in question were generated using our Al scribe system.

Per compliance policy, certain Al-generated fields cannot be manually updated by clinic staff and require vendor correction. We have escalated this to our vendor support team and opened ticket # . We'll notify you once we receive
confirmation or correction from the vendor.

1. There are three very important constraints on tonight's Mamdani victory you have to keep in mind when we're looking at what he's going to be able to do in office (taking him in good faith as someone who wants to make life better for people and discounting Trump).

Wikipedia founder Jimbo Wales is trying to use his name to convince Wikipedia editors to deny the Gaza Genocide, recognized by many human rights organizations.

Although he's not seizing control, this is an extreme attempt to sway Wikipedia content in violation of its founding principles.

A neutral approach would begin with a formulation such as: “Multiple governments, NGOs, and legal bodies have described or rejected the characterization of Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocide.”

What I’m asking for
Be bold and start editing (WP:BOLD). Move from debate to concrete improvements immediately.

Assume good faith (WP:AGF). Avoid personalizing disagreements. Focus only on text and sources.

Attribute, don’t assert (WP:ATTRIBUTEPOV). The lead and body must not declare a legal conclusion. Present who says what, with attribution and dates.

Balance by due weight (WP:UNDUE). Include significant, high-quality sources from all sides—governments, courts, NGOs, commentators. No side should speak in Wikipedia’s own voice.

Use the best sources (WP:RS / WP:V). Prefer primary official statements and major secondary coverage. Avoid synthesis (WP:SYN / WP:NOR).

Clarify scope. Separate factual reporting on conduct and casualties from legal characterization. Editors with strong, policy-compliant sources who have felt sidelined are welcome. Your participation is needed now. Editors are reminded this article falls under the Arab–Israeli conflict topic area; all participation must comply with the corresponding editing restrictions and civility expectations.

By focusing on verifiable sources and neutrality, we can quickly deliver an article that meets our standards for contentious topics. — Jimbo Wales Jimbo Wales (talk) 16:03, 2 November 2025 (UTC)
