The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

8️⃣ This study adds to growing proof that Long Covid is a biological, systemic disease, not deconditioning or anxiety.
Persistent inflammation, hormonal collapse, and neuroimmune damage explain what patients have been saying all along.

The big science accounts are talking about immune dysregulation due to COVID-19 now.
I. Told. You. So.
Infection does confer antibodies and T cells against C19… but it also takes a wrecking ball to the immune system as a whole.

Autistic burnout isn’t just tiredness.
It’s years of masking, unmet needs, and swallowing pain.
It’s vanishing into a performance so long you forget yourself.
It’s yelling into the void.

"High functioning”? It’s more like high tolerance.
Many of us tolerate the noise, the light, the endless hum of the world running at full speed.
Just because we can tolerate it doesn’t mean we don’t feel it.
It just means we’ve learned to take the hit quietly, until we can’t anymore. 1/2

Anyone who's confident that mainstream medicine is too smart to buy into anti-vax pseudoscience needs to realize that a lot of mainstream medicine already bought into anti-respirator pseudoscience, and 👉that is absolutely no different👈.

The error examined in this thread is laughably simple: forcing subjects to breathe through a small hole covered in N95 material does NOT mimic wearing an N95.
That's beyond wrong - it's *silly*.
It's also the source of mainstream medical claims that N95s interfere with breathing during pregnancy.

Another example of the junk clinical studies celebrated in Evidence Based Medicine because of methodology alone. Beloved "gold standard" of opinion launderers and cherry pickers, often designed with little or no mechanistic understanding or subject-matter expertise.
