“The problem with Long COVID is that most of society would rather not see it.”

@philipandrewhoover.bsky.social writes that he often feels that he’s living a double life. How can this sick side of him be so central, so enormous, yet so unseen by those who know and love him? bit.ly/4pf80g7

You think wealth inequality is bad now? In two years, this planet will be economically unrecognizable, as AI tech wealth is streamlined into a handful of pockets while hundreds of millions of people are suddenly rendered unemployable. Yes, two years. The "Big Compression" is coming: 2028-2033.

I mean, this is basically how public health manages 'respiratory season'. And COVID season, which runs from Jan to Dec every year, oddly enough.
During the height of the pandemic, Tyson used Palantir to predict Covid-19 infections among meatpacking workers down to a nearly exactly figure. But rather than using this data to increase worker protections, Tyson used it plan for labor shortages + plant closures

Overturn Citizens United In Your State

Here's how.
This is the best political news I’ve seen in a very long time — so please pass it on👇

Each state can limit Citizens United in their own state & they don’t have to wait for other states to do it.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

“We may be witnessing the emergence of a population-level acquired immune deficiency — not sexually transmitted, but airborne.”

That line isn’t from a tweet. It’s from a peer-reviewed paper in AJPM Focus (2025).

Even mild or asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections can leave a lasting imprint on the immune system—one that may resemble patterns seen in autoimmune diseases and chronic infections.

This challenges the assumption that recovery from mild illness is complete.

Public health is quiet on Covid’s damage by design. Govts, workplaces, schools, hospitals can’t be held accountable for not cleaning the air in absence of masking if you don’t know Covid is causing you chronic illness & disease. We all keep working, shopping, sacrificing health to prop up economy. 😷
Unfortunately most people don’t recognize their new onset conditions as a result of Covid (and dr’s aren’t helping/educating). Someone told me this weekend their friend had “unusually developed adult onset type 1 diabetes”. I told them that’s a likely post-Covid sequelae and they were surprised
