Been working on this one for a while!

My deep dive on Long Covid, functional disorders, psychosocial distress, and symptoms that medicine has never cracked, for @newrepublic:

Another failed, in this case large clinical trial of Paxlovid for Long COVID

These results are unsurprising. The evidence that Long COVID is the consequence of a chronic viral infection by SARS CoV-2 —the only reason why paxlovid could help — is far more flawed than many realize

why on Earth would you assume that his bizarro wellness side quests are medically legitimate in any way

Bryan Johnson is cool as fuck. If we want serious advancement in the medical field then it's going to require doing somethings that are uncomfortable or not viewed as cool

Measuring every human function at a level that 99% of individuals are incapable and then sharing that data freely is cool as fuck and I will not hear otherwise

We are a broken nation. Hundreds of thousands of Haitians were living and working legally, paying taxes, and contributing. Haiti remains completely unsafe.

But Trump hates Haitians, and the White House wanted videos of Black people in chains, so they stripped them all of status.

Live report from the Minnesota State Fair, located in the heart of American democracy, where there’s an ICE Out adaptation of Picasso’s Guernica made entirely from crops

There is no possible way to improve upon this headline. 10/10. No Notes.

@reblavoie lol, I don't even get what it does for them! "she decided to commit murder/suicide and botched the suicide part" is an argument I reject, but it makes much more sense than whatever they're trying to do instead

[Natalie Shure @nataliesurely]

I can't think of a case where the prosecution came off as worse - more off-putting, more callous, more internally contradictory - than Lindsay Clancy's. I hope the jury reviles them as much as I do

[Natalie Shure @nataliesurely]

@reblavoie and you follow these things far more closely than I do! I'm just bewildered by every decision the commonwealth made - from charging this as first-degree murder, to quadrupling down on unnecessary crime scene photos/testimony, to insisting she was faking everything...WTF?!

[Adam Gaffney @awgaffney]

This preprint is uninformative on causal question of COVID-vaccine-related complications.

It relies on whether a person with chronic symptoms attributes them to a vaccine. That may sound reasonable but it is not informative.

Chronic symptoms are *very* common in society.

This happened to me when I got a new credit card a few years back. Now they get solidarity dues straight outta my bank account ✊🌹

AOC apparently forgot to renew her DSA dues in 2019 which means she technically hasn't been a DSA member for the past 7 years. Neither she nor DSA realized it until this month, and she's now rejoined the org and is paying monthly dues that auto-renew. https://t.co/F3xQnzNbk4

Actor Tim Curry has died at 80, TMZ reports https://t.co/jJg1yCMweI

Utterly horrifying.

15 dead kids because Idaho has elevated so-called "parental rights" over healthcare rights of children to proper care.
