Does a #simplemodern 30 oz Summit purchased through Amazon in Aug 2026 keep water cold as well as a 30 oz Summit purchased in 2022?

Does this brand continue its legendary quality, or is it yet another victim of #enshittification?

My uncle asked my bf if he planned to mask forever & he responded “yes, & let me ask you the same question in reverse: Do you plan to continue taking absolutely no precautions forever? Against the disease that has caused your niece such intense suffering?”

Let’s all clap

What I’ve learnt over the past 6+ years is that mostly, people don’t want to know things.

@LazarusLong13 I have a prescription for metformin for this reason (I don't actually take it daily) and make sure to pack a good supply of it whenever I travel.

[Lazarus Long @LazarusLong13]

What would I do if I catch COVID?

Metformin for LongCovid.
500 mg once daily, titrated up to 500 mg morning / 1000 mg evening, for 14 days

Based on

And a pooled analysis of 4 studies.

Is there some kind of rule that keeps epidemiologists from understanding and communicating about covid's *long-term* effects for *everyone*?
I won't name names, because I don't think I need to. But I'm genuinely curious because I keep seeing this .

Never give in to the social pressure exerted on to you by those who are themselves too chickenshit to wear a mask in a grocery store. If they can’t stand up to the disapproval of strangers, they aren’t really in charge of what they’re doing anyway. They’ve given up. You shouldn’t

A little girl wakes up with one pupil dilated, the other normal.
CT is clear. No meds. Doctors shrug. Comments to the post asking about what could this be flood in with brain tumor, stroke and brain injury stories.

But research keeps confirming this exact finding after Covid:
Adie’s tonic pupil.

The virus triggers an immune attack that damages the ciliary ganglion and parasympathetic nerves controlling the iris.
Result: one pupil stops reacting properly to light.

This is not “just an eye thing.” It is direct neurological injury from Covid.
Autonomic pathways get hit.
Nobody is spared.

(Zoom into photos to see full effect upon eyes. Research studies in comments).

You’ve been the only one masking for years on end and haven’t budged, you have a constitution carved from solid stone. All the simple bastards who folded when everybody else did have ones formed from cookie dough. Don’t let them soft fuckers get to you. You’ve got this.

A new mouse study gives us a hard close-up of something long COVID data keeps hinting at.
SARS2 gets into the brain, clears out within a month - and the damage it leaves behind doesn’t just persist, it keeps growing. The virus clears out and leaves scorched earth behind it🧵

You are living through a pandemic, you are fighting for your brain, your heart, your immune system.
It doesn’t get any more serious than that.

F. prausnitzii is one of the most abundant "good" bacteria in a healthy gut. It makes butyrate — the fuel your gut lining runs on, and a molecule that quietly keeps inflammation in check body-wide.

When it's depleted, inflammation goes up. And low F. prausnitzii keeps turning up as a signature across a surprising list of diseases — IBD, long COVID, and neurodegenerative disease among them.

Which one surprises you most? Article below has receipts on PD + AD and some other diseases👇

She thought it was just an ear infection and strep.

It was already so much more.

By night he was screaming. His ear had swollen completely shut.
3 doctors looked and saw only an outer infection.

She had to fight for a CT. The scan showed middle ear infection with fluid already pushing into the mastoid bone. Mastoiditis.
One more day and it could have turned catastrophic.
He needed IV antibiotics overnight in the hospital just to stop it from spreading.

That rapid jump from earache to bone used to be rare.

Now it is not.

ERs are seeing it over and over. Mastoiditis. Cellulitis that races across skin overnight. Sepsis that comes out of nowhere. Stubborn gram negative infections in kids and adults.
The infections are angrier, faster, and deeper.

We are already inside another summer Covid wave and Covid is still breaking the rulebook on every germ we thought we knew.

[SARS2 is a Biohazard @mysteriousrona]

Calling the Covid Vaccine a bioweapon but calling SARS-CoV-2 itself "overblown" and "just another Flu" is illogical and devoid of critical thought.

[chantzy @chantz_y]

I mask in public still because no one has given me any convincing scientific evidence that getting repeat COVID infections is safe or sustainable for health, especially brain health 🧠

[Ryan Hisner @LongDesertTrain]

@Yash25571056 The surprisingly little-known fact that Covid infection during pregnancy leads to brain hemorrhaging in the fetus in a significant % of cases—with virus present in the fetal brain—should make our default assumption that Covid during pregnancy is harmful.

They were lied to and told that:
▪️COVID was just a cold, and they believed it
▪️only 1–3% develop Long COVID, and they believed it
▪️Swedes are superhumans, and they believed it
▪️they would receive excellent medical care when they needed it, and they believed it

What if there was a global pandemic killing millions, causes brain damage, heart attacks, a vax that doesn’t prevent, & the president simply gaslights the country to say it’s over & everyone believed him even though it continues killing & disabling? Would you follow the science?

[The Yeti of Kananaskis @kananaskinyeti]

You’re not angry at me for wearing a mask, you are angry that your conscience agrees with me.

A hidden pearl about colonoscopy is that adding Coke Zero to bowel preparation makes it much easier to drink and improves quality of views for the endoscopist.
