They know it. Always known it. They just don't care.

This one was warning back in 2014.

The Australian government has definitively ruled out introducing a copyright exemption for artificial intelligence companies training their models on Australian creative works.

This is a win for creative Australians and hopefully inspire other countries to follow.

Disabled people tried to warn you.

When everyone rushed “back to normal” and started adopting eugenicist talking points like “only the vulnerable are at risk from covid”… we said this would happen.

It was always about culling the herd.

Dismantling public health

Terrifying. An Associated Press investigation found more than 420 bills attacking longstanding public health protections such as vaccines, milk safety and fluoride have been introduced in statehouses across the US so far this year. Around 30 bills in 12 states have already been enacted or adopted.

Comic panel titled “A Moment of Clarity”. One person stands at a window looking over the city and says “I hear their wages are stagnating. Poor fools will never be able to afford our products.” Another person seated at a table exclaims “Wait… What?”

And the complete lack of medical staff in hospitals and clinics wearing masks, at least in the USA, is f*cking EXHAUSTING.
I have to PLEAD with staff to mask around my family member with a 30% ejection fraction and diabetes to wear a mask.
I prefer the 3M Vflex.

“People with long COVID reported worse disability than 98% of the general Australian population. A total of 86% of those with long COVID met the threshold for serious disability compared with 9% of Australians overall.”

Long COVID is more than fatigue. Our new study suggests its impact is similar to a stroke or Parkinson’s

Long COVID isn’t just a bunch of lingering symptoms. A new study shows it can stop peoole doing what they want to do, and need to do.

Anyone believing that Covid-19 can be allowed to spread rampantly into the future, without inevitably resulting in a final outcome of collective destruction for the human species, is dwelling in a condition of profound delusion.
