If you wear a respie, you're one of mine. If your face is naked, I know you voted to let me fall by the wayside. It's easy, actually.

"Recent studies have shown that well over 50% of people, in some reports 70% or more, who have contracted SARS-COV-2 suffer damage to their organs. For example, COVID-19 has the potential to cause lasting scarring in the lungs of infected patients, resulting in reduced lung function. It has been linked with long-term cardiovascular damage, which can cause difficulties when exercising and even increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke.

COVID-19 can cause brain damage including loss of brain tissue, small blood vessels, and merged brain cells. In some patients, perhaps many, there is also damage to the immune system."- degruyter.com/ document/doi/10....

If Lupita Nyong'o is Helen of Troy and the new Odyssey film, I am willing to forgive every other sin that it commits. I am willing to forgive literally anything.

[professorsparklepants]

I'm dead serious guys. You could have Odysseus kill Penelope for infidelity and I would still buy a ticket and put my ass in a seat for Lupita Nyong'o as Helen. I will forgive literally anything.

I often wonder if people's responses to the pandemic or vaccines would have been different if we'd been educated properly.

Symptoms = strength of Immune response, not strength of virus.

Immune system = finite resource, not a muscle you can build.

Maybe it wouldn't have made a difference. But maybe, if this was our understanding, we'd have adopted respies the way we did shoes when the anti-hookworm campaigns made shoes mandatory in public.

To be fair: we were taught that viruses or bacteria cause the symptoms.

When in reality, symptoms are the actions our immune systems take. So if there are weaker or no symptoms, that can also mean the immune system is just too weak to fight it off. Can't crank a fever high enough to go a virus, or make your nose run to flush it out.

If Misha was burnt out in *2017*.. and since then he’s dealt with the end of SPN, the shittiness of the SPN ending (him being written out of it) and the loud backlash to it, a near plane crash, divorce from the mother of his kids who had been in a relationship with since he was 15 years old, COVID (all his work cancelled for more than a year), the illness and death of his teenage godson, two hip replacement surgeries, the writers and actors strikes, the cancellation of Gotham Knights, the selling of his home and moving, the LA fires, the re-election of Trump, turning 50, lengthy custody and alimony battles, totalling his car on the freeway, a delusional stalker and the constant stream of fandom bullshit… it’s no fucking wonder he doesn’t post as much as he used to or isn’t as actively involved in some things. Oh his vibe has changed? Yeah no shit. I wonder why! If I were him I’d be voluntarily living on a desert island talking to a volleyball by now.

Nothing to add, nonnie

I desperately wish I could make everyone understand this. This IS happening to EVERYONE who does not wear a respirator properly 100% of the time in pubic.

Regardless of severity or mildness of your symptoms, vaccinated or not, every infection you are DAMAGING YOUR BRAIN. Full stop.

Plumbers, MDs, electricians, RNs, truck drivers, pilots, engineers, construction workers, line workers, radiology techs, masons, dentists, carpenters, every driver on the road with you... this is every field. Every profession. Every social stratus. Rich. Poor, in between. No one is safe.

The rich are also damaging their brains. There is no treatment. No cure. Everyone. Every new infection.

We are so cooked!!!

AI industry horrified to face largest copyright class action ever certified

Copyright class actions could financially ruin AI industry, trade groups say.

AI industry groups are urging an appeals court to block what they say is the largest copyright class action ever certified. They’ve warned that a single lawsuit raised by three authors over Anthropic’s AI training now threatens to “financially ruin” the entire AI industry if up to 7 million claimants end up joining the litigation and forcing a settlement.

well…darn

Fuck yeah! Mastercard fucked themselves over by reaching out to their associates (namely Riot Games) to try to censor the backlash they're getting and now SI ESports press is reporting on them.

That is what I call activism building on itself-The calls scared them into making a dumbass move and now they've only put more of a spotlight on their shitty behavior, which only puts more pressure on them.

Keep it up! <3 (For anyone wanting to participate, this is a good guide with resources, as is this!)

It’s always so hard to choose my favorite movies and I usually end up realizing I’ve only seen like three movies in my entire life so here goes. I also narrowed it down to traditional films rather than filmed stage performances because if I didn’t it’d be all Henriad and Faust.

Godzilla Minus One

Spirited Away

Amadeus

The Princess Bride

He looks like he's one gust of wind away from falling apart. He looks like a cartoon character who's going to collapse into a pile of bones."
