The millennial experience is growing up with the internet, and watching it go from a free, open, democratic, and eclectic ecosystem to a wasteland of five websites controlled by billionaires, and now seeing it quickly fill up with AI-generated slop.

I want our World Wide Web back.

Outstanding thread on bicarb physiology and why we should consider it “buyer beware”
You've probably heard that Bicarbonate has to turn into CO2 to raise the pH.

Amazing to see the mass migration of #MedTwitter to #MedSky! It means we’ve truly built a global community independent of whichever billionaire owns the platform

If I followed you on the Other Site and haven’t yet here, let me know! Hard to keep up with the influx :)
