The world must boycott the World Cup and the Olympics.

It is both the only moral choice and will actually get the attention of these dead-eyed clout demons.

OMG 😭

Huntington's is an inherited disease that's like Alzheimers + Parkinson's all in one. NOW: "once the gene therapy has been delivered into the brain... [it] injects a piece of DNA to reprogram the neuron to become a factory for its own cure."

LIFE SAVING!

Happy New Year, start it off smiling with this golden oldie
4 yrs ago today, a family member managed a truly spectacular own goal, splintered his domestic bliss, & in the process, united the world for a day.

On popular request, I shall now recreate the livetweet thread from that day

So gather around children, for this is the tale of The Rice Truck Saga

A way to support Vida is by donating via Gogetfunding. It's a bit more daunting than gofundme, but it works similarly. Let's keep Vida's voice among those we hear (okay, read, but you all know what I mean).
Hello all, I'm sure some here are wondering why I've gone quiet lately.

The TL;DR: I have Polycystic Kidney Disease for a long time. This year, I was pregnant and gave birth prematurely. And while dealing with the baby's NICU stay, a nephro told me I will need a kidney transplant in 4 years. +
Hi all; I'm going to undergo a significant procedure later this year (sorry, would rather not disclose) and my husband's health insurance doesn't cover it. We're going to need funds for the care during and after. Any help would be much appreciated:

This is one of the reasons the “Covid is just a flu” narrative always bothered me.

It minimized the risk of COVID while also downplaying the severity of the flu.

The flu is not a joke. It can & does kill. It can & does disable.

Please get vaccinated.

A well fitted mask like an N95 helps too!
The death of any child is tragic. We always think it will not be my child, they are healthy. Severe influenza can be unpredictable & deadly. Getting vaccinated considerably reduces dz severity and deaths. Please make sure you are vaccinated & your children are too.

Overheard at airport:
Old Lady: next they'll be wanting a PS6. It's ridiculous. They got a PS5 and none of the games from the PS4 even work!
Young lady: yeah, Steam is coming out with a console that's gonna be able to play any PC game soon.
Old lady: oh that'll be a relief

Bari Weiss & CBS pulled the plug on 60 Minutes CECOT special just hours before it was scheduled to air.

Men who had been sent there risked their lives to tell their stories, and they’ve been silenced by the regime.

This article by The Guardian shines light on the torture & abuse they suffered:
Venezuelans sent by Trump to El Salvador endured systematic torture, report finds
Human rights groups accuse Trump officials of complicity and draw comparison with scandal at Abu Ghraib prison

This is what I don’t understand: How could extensive attention to clean indoor air make anything *worse*? Particulates and pollen and so on cause issues for people with allergies and asthma even before we think about anything else. It’s cheap and easy and we should just be doing it everywhere!
