Seeing some people criticizing being concerned about this as follow policing, but this is Rose's work account. Her professional account, used for work. The official conduct of Bluesky leadership.

Following a 90-follower account that basically any community modlist would hide for you. Optics!

The COO of bluesky, Rose, is following the heritage foundation account on bluesky.

Soyweiser @soyweiser.bsky.social · 9h

She is the COO en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chief_o... of bsky. This is worrying because after the 'we are turning waffles into an anti-trans thing' by the CEO the CEO started to follow a transphobe. Shows a pattern.

Wonder when we find out one of them follows the discovery institute.

impossible to have productive conversations when someone is always bringing "but nothing will work because we already lost" to the table. If you're that committed to being damned – if there's nothing else to lose – then fucking die for it, give all you can

As game developers, we are extremely hard workers whose trade is inextricably linked to our mental agility. Perhaps pubic appearances are unavoidable, but doing so unprotected in a crowded high-risk environment is just... reckless, frankly. For yourself, your team, your loved ones

"But the other threat of COVID, particularly at the population level, is its ability to reinfect.

Because if COVID were a one and done virus- a virus that bestowed lifelong immunity, like measles or polio (generally) do, the cruel logic of “let it rip” and “back to normal” would ultimately work for the “survivors”. For those who didn’t die, for those who didn’t develop Long COVID from their one and only infection, for those who didn’t suffer brain damage or too much bodily damage on their first shot out of the gate, then that would’ve been it. We really could’ve gone back to normal. For those who’d been harmed, well life sucks. Losers lose, winners win. And this is the attitude that the people who consider themselves “unharmed” by COVID have very publicly and boisterously put on as they took their masks off these last several years.

But COVID isn’t a one-and-done virus. And it doesn’t reinfect at a rate that is similar to other viruses of its severity. It’s more severe than the flu, yet the average person only contracts flu once or twice a decade. People are contracting COVID every year or so (and if you think you aren’t, bear in mind that 40+% of COVID infections are asymptomatic)- some people twice a year. People are spinning that roulette wheel- or rather, the Russian roulette wheel- often. Like, really often. Like, way, way, way too often.

The danger of COVID is its inherent danger, yes, but it’s also its relentlessness. It’s that when you get away with your 5th infection it’s coming right back for you a 6th time. A 6th time in year 6? And you’re a 6-year-old child? Is it really such a mystery that teachers are complaining that “COVID babies” can’t say their names or tie their shoes coming into kindergarten? We’ve been serially infecting children with a virus that damages their brains. We know it does this. And we just…. keep doing it? "

It was a real joy seeing the Vancouver gamedev community out in force, showing off things they've been toiling away at for years. I saw friends & colleagues I've known for well over a decade. These are smart, moral people. It's hard to square that with what I know about the risks of this behavior

This piece reminded me of an unfun thing I've wanted to talk about since attending the @vangamegarden.bsky.social showcase, which is that of the 100-odd devs tabling there, I observed only one (1) wearing a mask for an event with 100s-to-1000s of attendees

"The fact that COVID infections damage our brains is not debatable. There are hundreds of studies to support that COVID affects the brain, leading to memory, attention, executive function, and mental health issues. Dr. Ziyad Al-Aly already put together a great compendium of information and research concerning what we know about COVID and the brain last year- although, of course, more has emerged since then.

His piece, COVID-19 Leaves Its Mark on the Brain, is subtitled, “Research shows that even mild COVID-19 can lead to the equivalent of seven years of brain aging”. The piece thoroughly reviews the cognitive risks of COVID; below is a selection from a longer list of studies in the piece:

Large epidemiological analyses showed that people who had COVID-19 were at an increased risk of cognitive deficits, such as memory problems.

Imaging studies done in people before and after their COVID-19 infections show shrinkage of brain volume and altered brain structure after infection.

A study of people with mild to moderate COVID-19 showed significant prolonged inflammation of the brain and changes that are commensurate with seven years of brain aging.

Laboratory experiments in human and mouse brain organoids designed to emulate changes in the human brain showed that SARS-CoV-2 infection triggers the fusion of brain cells. This effectively short-circuits brain electrical activity and compromises function.

Studies show that even when the virus is mild and exclusively confined to the lungs, it can still provoke inflammation in the brain and impair brain cells’ ability to regenerate.

COVID-19 can also disrupt the blood brain barrier, the shield that protects the nervous system – which is the control and command center of our bodies – making it “leaky.” "

It wasnt well known, thats the thing! That incident was genuinely a breakout case not only for those outside of medical academia but also FOR epileptic study! Part of what made it so shocking was a majority of those effected had never shown epileptic symptoms before, it was actually unprecedented

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a powerful antibody, known as 04_A06, that is able to neutralize 98.5% of MORE THAN 300 different HIV strains AND permanently reduce HIV viral load to undetectable levels, making it one of the broadest-acting antibodies against HIV identified to date.
