All Al generated imagery is inherently theft. It's unethical, environmentally disastrous, and does irreparable harm to both artists and society.

Cat in Oregon contracts #H5N1 #birdflu thru cat food & dies😢

“This cat was strictly an indoor cat; it was not exposed to the virus in its environment, and results from the genome sequencing confirmed that the virus recovered from the raw pet food and infected cat were exact matches to each other.”

Decrease in ACT standard test for Reading, English and Math scores during three years of the pandemic since 2020 is about 6%, compared with decreases of about 1.5% for English and Math (none for Reading) in three years until 2020, which were consistent with historical increases and decreases.

realization that #longcovid = prolonged, nonclearing infection with all the baggage that comes with such a scenario.
Why long COVID may simply be 'long infection' - ABC listen
A parliamentary inquiry found between two and twenty per cent of Australians who get the virus will develop symptoms of long COVID including brain fog and fatigue, but its exact causes remain a mystery.

New from us. Long COVID is complicated but not so mysterious, it’s looking more and more like it’s driven simply by “long infection”. What’s the evidence for this and what does this mean should happen? Read about it here onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.5694/...

Wondering why so many people have mycoplasma (aka walking pneumonia) lately? Here’s a clue.

Man kann Impfungen nicht „ausleiten.“

Man muss den Körper nicht „entgiften.“

Wir haben keine „Schlacken“ im Körper.

Stoffe, die der Köper nicht braucht und die ihn schädigen können, scheidet der Körper kontinuierlich über Urin, Stuhlgang und Atemluft aus.
