"Cynicism is a form of obedience." - Cornelius Eady
It's cliche, but true: Yes, even if we fight, they might win. But if we give up now, even mentally, they definitely will. Yes, it's hard not to surrender into the despair. But for the sake of all of us: fight it anyway.

It is the darkest of all possible humor that Disney is publicly rolling back their DEI initiatives and removing content warnings from older, racially-insensitive work on the same week that they are releasing a new MCU movie with a Black man as Captain America.

A team in Exeter has developed a finger-prick test to classify long Covid into three types: weak antibody response, excess immune response, and unclear patterns.
Early results suggest it could guide tailored treatments, but larger trials are needed.

Huh. News you might be able to use?
When exchanging your @signal.org contact info over an insecure channel (like a text message or DM), it's a good idea to generate a Signal link (URL) from the app, then you should RESET that link after you connect with the other person on Signal.
