After 2 weeks ago, the best time to get your vaxxes is today.

It's a very very bad flu season this year. If you haven't gotten your vaxx yet (looks at herself*) get it. At minimum it will make your infection less bad.

*(Time got away from me and I'm too chicken shit to mix Covid and Flu vaccines so I got my Covid shot but not my flu . I will tomorrow!)
A New Flu Variant May Make Cold Season Brutal This Year
U.S. flu rates remain low, but experts are keeping an eye on a new strain that’s been linked to unexpectedly early and severe seasons in several other countries

I am tired of “actually X is bad” takes this week. Can we all remember taste is subjective and maybe focus a bit more on gratitude and togetherness for the rest of this week.

It is striking to me how much of a straight-to-camera asshole Langdon is in episode 1 and yet…how many people say they don’t like Santos when they start this show but don’t seem to notice him. #ThePitt

Due to the holiday, this week's Apple shows, Pluribus included, will drop two days earlier than usual.

("Wednesday" technically means "9 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday." I have no idea why Apple sticks to this fiction regarding when episodes are released.)
A message says, "Hi, Carol. We'll be seeing you a little bit earlier than normal this week. Looking forward to Wednesday."

If you have been sharing that Malwarebytes article on the Gmail thing, you should note the giant correction up top.

www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/20...
Update November 22. We’ve updated this article after realising we contributed to a perfect storm of misunderstanding around a recent change in the wording and placement of Gmail’s smart features. The settings themselves aren’t new, but the way Google recently rewrote and surfaced them led a lot of people (including us) to believe Gmail content might be used to train Google’s AI models, and that users were being opted in automatically. After taking a closer look at Google’s documentation and reviewing other reporting, that doesn’t appear to be the case. Gmail does scan email content to power its own “smart features,” such as spam filtering, categorisation, and writing suggestions. But this is part of how Gmail normally works and isn’t the same as training Google’s generative AI models. Google also maintains that these feature settings are opt-in rather than opt-out, although users’ experiences seem to vary depending on when and how the new wording appeared. It’s easy to see where the confusion came from. Google’s updated language around “smart features” is vague, and the term “smart” often implies AI—especially at a time when Gemini is being integrated into other parts of Google’s products. When the new wording started appearing for some users without much explanation, many assumed it signalled a broader shift. We’ve revised this article to reflect what we can confirm from Google’s documentation, as it’s always been our aim to give readers accurate, helpful guidance.

Did you know that trans people are more likely to report having Long COVID than cis people are?

On this annual Transgender Day of Resilience (TDOR), we’re sharing our resource on Long COVID in trans people.

Created with @longcovidjustice.org

longcovidjustice.org/lc-in-trans-people
A purple and teal ombre background has large blue title text that says: “Long COVID Trans People: Navigating Across Gender Clinics and Long COVID Care.” Below this is an illustration of a trans person with brown chair and short pink hair and pink high heels, sitting in a purple wheelchair with a big glowing pink heart in their arms. The footer reads, "Long COVID Essentials, www.tiny.cc/LCE. A series by The Sick Times x Long COVID Justice." Aqua and purple gradient background with white text boxes and black text that says: “Trans people are more likely to report having Long COVID than cis people are. According to one survey, over 27% of trans adults reported ever experiencing Long COVID as of September 2024, compared to 14% of cis men and 22% of cis women.” There is a graphic showing bars of various lengths to represent these percentages. Additional text says: “More research is needed. Some advocates suggest lower income and less access to healthcare among trans people could contribute to this pattern.” The footer reads, "Long COVID Essentials, www.tiny.cc/LCE.“ Aqua and purple gradient background is titled, “Options for talking to providers, continued.” Below this, a white text box has black text that says: “You can also request a referral to a Long COVID clinic, or another specialist who understands and sees people with Long COVID and related diseases. If possible, ask people in your community about recommendations for these providers. Note that not all Long COVID clinics are familiar with treating trans people.” Below this a green organic shape has black text that says: “Directories of Long COVID clinics, COVID-informed doctors, and more: Additional text includes the link to the webpage: “longcovidjustice.org/connect” The footer reads, "Long COVID Essentials, www.tiny.cc/LCE." Aqua and purple gradient background is titled, “Look out for more research.” Below this, a white text box has black text that says: “Some research suggests that sex hormones could influence the body’s immune response, which might affect the severity or symptoms of Long COVID. For example, one preprint (not yet peer reviewed) found that people with lower levels of testosterone were more likely to have worse Long COVID symptoms. This article includes more info about sex hormones and the immune system. More research is needed to better understand why trans people may be more at risk for Long COVID and to develop treatments.” The footer reads, "Long COVID Essentials, www.tiny.cc/LCE."

I love the @metmuseum.org. It enriches the lives of NY’ers and visitors from across the world.

That’s made possible by the people who make the Met run — the curators, educators and museum workers seeking to join @uaw.org

Congrats to Met Museum workers on filing for this historic union election!

Workers at The Met are trying to unionize, citing “long-term pay inequities, lack of job protection, and ever-increasing workloads.” If they succeed, their union would be one of the largest museum unions in the US.

Staffers at the New York City institution have filed a petition for a union vote with the National Labor Relations Board.
