Actually it would – reinfection almost always leads to worsened symptoms and longer recovery periods for people with long covid.

(things said by people who have not undertaken a rational assessment of the threat environment since 2021)

I wish liberal covid deniers would actually engage with the piles of evidence on the continued danger of covid, rather than deeming everyone who has insane.

In any discussion of food and farming, unless your solution can be scaled to feed 8 billion people, you shouldn't be taken seriously. Unfortunately, cottagecore fantasies that would feed only the richest consumers, leaving billions to starve, are all too common.

Deafening applause as Zack Polanski tells Zia Yusuf that people's concern over immigration is because he spends all his time spreading misinformation and fear.

I haven't seen one single study that shows it's harmless to keep getting Covid again & again. But there are thousands of peer-reviewed studies that document long-term harms

Again, I recommend moving away from and being mindful of using of TikTok.

Oracle, one of the most privacy-violating, pro-surveillance, genocide-supporting, pro-policing corporations to exist, is taking over co-ownership of TikTok.

it coincides with a halving in the education budget for prisons and a commitment to use prison labour for arms manufacturing. literally what are we doing here

Britain's chemical castration plan for sex offenders seems like the most obvious attempt to avoid doing anything about sex offending, while giving the govt an excuse to release large numbers of offenders despite the fact people can and do offend while chemically castrated.

it was only in 2017 that the UK government retroactively pardoned gay men.

it's colloquially called Alan Turing's law, being an expansion of a campaign to pardon Turing who was convicted and chemically castrated for homosexuality.

the scope for abuse here is staggering and obvious.

Just because you can't see the damage from COVID, doesn't mean it's not happening. Avoiding catching COVID by wearing a quality mask is vital.

Sometimes people say “political violence” needs to involve at least one state actor. Other times, they say that it needs to be motivated by political disagreement. Is women’s aspiration to self-determination and dignity a “political opinion” that could motivate “political” violence? Just wondering!

comparing a group made up largely of sick people trying to avoid getting sicker to a hate group is definitely A Choice.
