Canada will never be a US state. 100% precautions for H5N1 & Covid. Anti-virus realitymonger. CLEAN INDOOR AIR = HUMAN RIGHT. 25yrs STEM: tech, nutrition. Substack partners with fascist publications.

So techbros stole the core IP for these models from all of us, sold things it isn't (not even in the realm of possibility for AGI), money going in circles inflating a bubble much larger than subprime and .com ... and will probably get bailout "too big to fail".
So all of us get to pay for it again.

Oh, what a powerful life Alice lived! She will be among my beloved ancestors of spirit for all the ways she has blessed and transformed the many communities she was part of. Her loss is felt keenly, and so much wisdom is left in her wake. Thank you, Alice, for everything.
Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

Living with Long COVID often feels like living in a horror movie. Along with your disease comes a creepy Hive Mind refusal to acknowledge the dangers of COVID infection. In Vince Gilligan's new Apple TV show Pluribus, the Hive Mind comes to life:

"Pluribus" captures the isolation of COVID-awareness in a COVID denialist world
For years I've described having Long COVID as living in a horror movie. Now that horror movie (well, prestige Apple TV show) is here.

The budget.
It puts $5 billion into “health infrastructure,” which sounds like healthcare funding. But is it?

Excellent thread. Right to the end. I was also forced to leave work I *loved* in 2020 because of society's refusal to protect. It is absolutely ridiculous how universally this has been swept under the rug despite concrete evidence of the harm this is doing to everyone's bodies.

It's not like we were born with an innate understanding of N95 masks and airborne transmission. Many of us put in the intellectual effort to understand it, starting in 2020. You don't need a medical degree to understand this stuff. It has been explained, and explained, and explained.

CBS firing most of its climate team is another very, very important reminder that there needs to be a massive effort to set up cleanly-funded media outlets immune to takeover, to avoid those fired jumping into the Substack bonfire where they'll be exploited and enshittified in a new way
It's a little understated that Bari Weiss is really a flat-out 'just-asking-questions' style climate change denier.
Eg, here she is saying the science is up for public debate rather than settled, publishing the work of a big-name denier influencer (Koonin), and boosting a fake controversy

“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).
