This is why you need to not just mask, but mask consistently in public.

Highlights
•
HIV/AIDS and COVID-19 are preventable infectious diseases with chronic systemic impacts including immune system dysfunction.
•
Chronic inflammation, immune exhaustion, and accelerated biological aging are shared hallmarks of HIVI/AIDS and Long COVID/PASC.
•
Tissue reservoir persistence drives long-term damage in both HIV and SARS-CoV-2. SARS-CoV-2 mirrors HIV-1 in its ability to evade immune defenses and cause chronic infection.
•
SARS-CoV-2 -associated neurological disorders (SAND) parallel HIV-associated neurological disorders (HAND).
•
Both pandemics exhibit failures in global solidarity and reveal inequities in healthcare access.

Wow what a cool and interesting game this sounds like it's gonna be... And apparently the music is all FM synth made with the same soundchip the Mega Drive used? Wow! Sounds like something y'all should wishlist imo!

Boss, we’ve got a problem. Users don’t want this stuff! They keep wanting to turn it off, even when we keep turning it back on!

Onedrive settings. A toggle for using AI to detect and identify faces is set to on. The caption says, you can only turn off this setting 3 times per year.

If you ever think my utter contempt towards gacha is overblown remember that 15 years ago this would've been a delightfully mid PSP game with fun extra costumes for your favorite characters and now it's designed to get teenagers addicted to the slot machine in their phone.

Behold! Gameplay of Silver Bullet, featuring music I composed and sound effects I made using FM synth, just like they did in the 1980's!

Reminder that Duolingo laid off most of their staff, including their localization teams, so that they could invest heavily into AI. Don't support Duolingo. Disable drops for a few days.

I use the adblock filter method from this page, and it works beautifully gist.github.com/mary-ext/6e2...

A VPN would also work; I've been using the free version of ProtonVPN when I'm on my phone protonvpn.com

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

Brooke @brooklynmarie.bsky.social · 19d

Fossil fuel billionaires are bankrolling the anti-trans movement

An investigation shared exclusively with Atmos and HEATED finds that 80% of anti-trans organizations receive fossil fuel funding.
