I guess the crazy part about Woke 1 was also people not getting on planes with COVID

The way leftists, socialists & even comrades ripped off their mask the moment Fauci said "the vulnerable will fall by the wayside" was a huge shock I often say to my remaining comrades "everyone embraced eugenics the day Fauci said (...), they sided w/fascists outta convenience"

my most woke mutuals will be arguing genuinely great things but cant keep the word retarded out of their mouth to save their life. like ableism is simply not cared about anywhere at all. noone gives a fuck. i hate everyone.
Maybe I’m too woke but I miss 5 years ago when saying the word “retarded” was genuinely nasty and made people look at you like a monster

Do you know how much PROPAGANDA it takes to convince a whole country of people that their military exists solely to keep them safe, and not to keep people around the world under their rule by destroying their homes and infrastructure while stealing their resources?
US soldiers set fire to a random family home in Vietnam.

isn't it funny how being anti-cop & anti-ice is a universal statement but being anti-military is a taboo that will get you called a classist. isn't it interesting how we only judge systems of power when they harm americans but they are not that bad if they affect the global south

The concept of being “left behind” if you don’t use AI when in reality the AI bubble will burst eventually and the people who have had their brains smoothed out by AI are the ones who won’t know how to function in society anymore
“You’re going to get left behind if you don’t use AI.” Leave me then. Leave me with my critical thinking skills, my ability to read and write long-form, and books without needing AI summaries.

Btw COVID was proven to be airborne bc of THIS WOMAN’s research and the WHO had to completely revise decades of science, she is a HERO, EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW HER NAME!!! She will be remembered by history and in the future so much about our infrastructure will change bc of her.
It's widely accepted that hantavirus transmits from rodent excreta to humans via inhalation of aerosolized virus, so I don't understand why we're so reluctant to acknowledge the inhalation route for human-to-human transmission. nytimes.com/2026/05/14/healt…

1) Something very clear from this Hantavirus outbreak is that @WHO is still quite confused about airborne transmission Still confuse "close contact" (a setting) with a mechanism of transmission Do not understand that ease of transmission in close proximity ==> likely airborne

5) Frustrante ver cosas q SI necesitan recursos, y se hace muy poco En particular prepararnos para proxima pandemia: - mejorando ventilacion en escuelas, hospitales, comercios etc. - Instalando medidores de CO2 visibles y explicando - Enseniando a usar mascarillas FFP2 / N95

This is a nice lull and great news. As a reminder, in fall 2021 (post vaccine), Fauci said a reasonable level of covid circulating to remove precautions would be 10k cases/day. This is the first time we’ve fallen below 100k cases/day in the nearly 5 years since
April 24th Update: We are at the lowest transmission levels in almost 5 years, 40% lower than our recent spring lows. This remarkable lull should last 6+more weeks. Estimates: 🔸90,000 new infections/day 🔸~1 in 750 currently reasonably infectious (5 day window)

“gen alpha cough” is a hilarious observation and then you realize it’s bc they all have chronic coughs from getting sick with covid 3x a year at public school

"COVID is here to stay" is a fatalist position. In the 1800s, before municipal water filtration, saying "there's nothing we can do about cholera" would have been wrong. The same is now true of COVID. Far-UVC/ventilation/filtration can hugely reduce transmission if we demand it.

No.. its peak was in the past, but it’s going be around forever and there’s nothing we can do about it

They promoted Chomsky’s Manufacturing Consent to distract you from reading Parenti’s Inventing Reality, which was written years earlier and is far better.

What we mean by “wash your hands” during our ongoing covid pandemic is “wash your hands of responsibility”

gemini can literally k*ll itself it's fucking insane😭
A tip when using Gemini as a coding agent is giving it emotional support. Without this, it tends to panic and irrevocably delete all of its work in a fit of despair. It needs to know it is doing a good job

the task length an ai can reliably finish (conservatively) doubles every 7 months when i'm the age my mom was when she watched me graduate, ai will be able to do tasks that would take someone ~1000 millennia
