Even in this article, handwashing is the first bullet listed on how to prevent getting the flu 😡

We need prepare for 3°C of global warming by 2050, as NASA satellite observations indicate it a possibility.

As Risk = Impact * Probability, the potential impact of billions of deaths makes the probability largely irrelevant.

Home to 28 million people, Shanghai is the world’s third-largest city—and nowhere captures its shift from industrial hub to modern metropolis better than the East Bank of the Huangpu River. At the centre of this waterfront revival is a 21-kilometre linear park anchored by a continuous cycling route.

I know it's difficult to be creative when we're just trying to survive. But it does matter. Whether you make things professionally or as a hobby or even if you make something that you never show to anybody. It's good for the human soul to create.
Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.

A woman in Saskatchewan needs surgery for a parathyroid issue and is being offered MAiD instead.

There’s no one in the province who can perform the procedure and the government won’t pay to send her elsewhere.

This is why disability advocates warn about assisted dying

Can not emphasise enough how much you should go to your moderation settings and turn off hiding for the 「 rude 」 label

All the moderation here sucks but this, in particular, is systematically abused by Aaron the so-called head of 「 trust and safety 」 here at BS.

Wowwww the most recent episode of Pluribus is - in my opinion - the most accurate representation yet of what it feels like to still be Covid-conscious. And the funny/sad part is it's obviously completely unintentional, since the people who made it are not *themselves* Covid-conscious 🙃 Some of you ⬇️

The T cell death was published by me in 2020. Only now has population-level immune harm been acknowledged, now in the BMJ in 2025. Not bad for a medical student at the time.

The effects of the ongoing COVID pandemic are like COVID a̶g̶a̶i̶n̶
This is exactly what happens when a novel seasonal influenza strain meets a population with Covid-induced immune dysregulation; it's not 'like Covid again', it's the ongoing and continuous effects of Covid.
