Xenosaga II screenshot. Dmitri Yuriev says, "If we could save the star cluster at the cost of a single planet, I'd say that's a small price to pay."

Shion Uzuki looks disgusted and says, "Acceptable losses... I hate that term."

original tweet: twitter.com/elendraug/st...

Text meme on a cyan background. The original (which was also edited, but from what is not clear) read "Imagine following me because you think I'm cool then BOOM 83 posts in a row about incest" and now reads "Imagine following me for xenosaga clonecest then BOOM 83 posts in a row about I am fucking BEGGING you to use elastomeric respirators and HEPA filters, please protect yourselves"

Venn diagram with Elendraug's user icon in the center. On the left, an infographic from CDC/NIOSH about PPE/respirators. On the right, Jr. Xenosaga carrying Gaignun to safety during the Miltian Conflict.

The title reads "✨my twitter✨ by tumblr user elendraug" and the two halves are labeled "please don't inhale SARS 😬" and "they're in love 🖤❤️"

Twitterのアルゴリズムは、ユーザーを興味に応じたグループに分類しているようですが、どのグループに属しているかは公表されていません。

ただ、実のところ、自分がどういうタイプのユーザーなのかは、もうわかっているんですねww。

シアン色の背景にテキストミーム。

最初のミームも編集されましたが、元々何を言っていたのかは不明です。

それは、「私のことをクールだと思ってフォローしていると想像してください。すると突然、近親相姦に関する投稿が83件も並んでいる」

新しい編集ではこうなっています：

「ゼノサーガ・クローン近親相姦のために私をフォローしていると想像してください。すると突然、『エラストマー製呼吸器とHEPAフィルターを使用するよう、私はフォロワーさんに懇願しているのです。自分の身は自分で守ってください。』に関する投稿が83件も並んでいる」

elendraugのアバターが真ん中にあるベン図です。

lastly, a common rebuttal to contaminant reporting is that there are unavoidable levels of lead in lots of foods. some context:

taking just one serving of one of the powders we tested would expose you to 45% more lead than the average american gets from everything they eat/drink in a day combined

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

For the Shadow of the Colossus story, we interviewed 14 people including project leads Fumito Ueda and Kenji Kaido, hired Gravity Rush concept artist Takeshi Oga to illustrate the cover, and put together a 10,000-word story with help from @milkman.bsky.social @shmuplations.bsky.social and others.

The site is an experiment to see if an outlet specializing in high-production value longform feature stories can work through a subscription model. The oral histories will always be free, and we’ll supplement them with bonus stories for paid subscribers.

“If thousands of studies are telling you to look for a certain kind of harm and then millions of people start wondering why they are experiencing exactly that type of harm, is it so hard to connect those two dots?”

That is what happened in my friend group. As culture changes and masking and testing are normalized (1) long COVID patients can be integrated into society instead of choosing between isolation & risking their lives (2) AWARENESS of the need for clean air and URGENCY for clean air is built

Culture change could look like 3 major things- masking indoors , dining and drinking OUTDOORS, and TESTING whenever you plan to unmask. Introduce those 3 things to your social circle and always insist on them. “That’s how we ensure no one is left behind in this new era”

You’re right! It’s rly difficult! It’s made SO much more difficult trying to move through the world without catching covid- something I absolutely can’t catch given that I’m still sick from my infection 2 years ago- by the denialism and lack of solidarity of the majority
