Very interesting thread.

Anecdotal, at this stage, but hopefully there will be a scientific study on chronic brain impact (damage) due to covid. (Brain fog, cognitive disorders, increased aggression, etc)

[Dana Parish @danaparish]

My psychologist friend: Have you noticed how many people seem to have brain damage lately? Like, literal cognitive decline and behavioral or personality changes? Am noticing it everywhere, even in my longtime patients.

Another exhausting round of "Ukraine can't win" from people who clearly are not watching the same war as I am. Ukraine can win, as long as it continues to receive heavy weaponry, continues outsourcing its war economy to the West, and crippling economic sanctions on Russia remain.

Unvaccinated COVID-19 patients put a $61.3-million avoidable burden on the Alberta health-care system during the fourth COVID wave, says University of Alberta study. Their “freedom” is not actually free. They rest of us pay in so many ways. #COVID19AB https://t.co/jNCzKlRzeH

@BobGolen @mass_ave One must approach this statement with caw-tion.

[CalgaryMatters @MattersCalgary]

@jonathanstea Plus the real cost, e.g. due to covid denier misinformation

“A defeated former president who was at the center of a failed coup allegedly walks out the door with nuclear secrets, refuses to give them back and then leaves a creepy, semi-threatening message for the attorney general — that’s apparently where we are.”

Ukraine’s remarkably resilient response to Russia’s invasion has served to highlight how far the country has come in its nation-building journey since the chaotic early years of the post-Soviet era, writes Anders Åslund (@anders_aslund)

Real history is not "elitist."
Also, 'History shows that fake populism and anti-intellectualism — with, as a byproduct, targeting independent thought — are necessary ingredients of an authoritarian takeover.' From the great @seanwilentz
