18 young, previously healthy people. Mild COVID, nobody hospitalized. Six months later, they're still dealing with brain fog, worse sleep, anxiety, low mood. On a test of inhibitory control they did just as well as controls.
But their EEG told a different story about how their brains got there🧵

my friend was perfectly healthy before covid and could easily jog 5-10 miles a day and manage a full-time job. after getting long covid at age 35 he now has permanent heart and brain problems and can barely walk. its not hysteria.

From October 2023 to August 2024, four major US airports ran air sampling in their arrivals halls.
SARS2 turned up in 98.3% of air samples. Influenza A in 17.2%🧵

YOU WORSHIP A LEVANTINE STORM GOD THAT ORIGINATED FROM THE SHASU TRIBE IN THE SOUTHERN REGIONS OF THE ARABIAN PENINSULA WHOM THROUGH RELIGIOUS SYNCRETISM WAS MERGED WITH THE CANAANITE HIGH GOD EL AND LATER REPLACED BAAL AS THE MAIN GOD YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR OWN GOD

[Blind Batman @bail73927]

the word futile stems from Latin futilis, meaning a leaky, cracked vessel that can never hold water. Plath captures that exact exhaustion: feeling like time is a broken container, and your days simply spill uselessly through the cracks

This is an Akira Kurosawa film, dawg. We shoot actual arrows at our actors, build entire elaborate sets and then burn them down with the mf’ers still inside. We clown in this bitch.

Among the most dispiriting things you can do is to just look at the world that most people, in American above all, now inhabit, the ugliness, the waste, the soul destroying banality, crass consumption, and think- we've destroyed everything, sacrificed everything, for *this*

SARS-CoV-2 Causes Brain Damage CURRENT TREATMENTS

The brain damage from COVID is real - and the treatment evidence is brutally honest: the most rigorous trial (RECOVER-NEURO) found brain training doesn't work, and the best HBOT trial found it's mostly placebo. What shows genuine promise is mechanistically targeted: guanfacine + NAC for prefrontal dysfunction, vortioxetine for the inflamed subtype, LDN for fatigue and pain (pending RCTs), PEA-LUT for neuroinflammation, and creatine for brain energy. And the prevention story - metformin during acute infection - may be the most important finding of all. The field is young, but the direction is clear: target the mechanism, not the symptom.

I would love to resurrect Carl Schmitt just to show him this, kill him again

Tsotchke is totally right here, yall are just mad about the word choices because you see poststructuralism as pseudery, refusing to engage with the field or ideas seriously. Get over yourselves, jeez.

[Benn Jordan @bennjordan]

Flock takes their privacy very seriously.

But the ethical gray area in surveillance technology works both ways.

Under no circumstances should elected officials or public servants enjoy an expectation of privacy when spending tax dollars to attend a surveillance lobbying event.

“It’s not airborne AIDS.” 👌 You’re right. It just causes acquired immunodeficiency across the whole population without sex or blood transmission.

Everyone's favorite horror freak is an absolute heater of a run lately. Chime, Cloud, an old school samurai movie and now a series??

This is lowkey such a cool and unique type of “performance art” that probably wouldn’t work in any other medium than a social media site.

Just a whole month of replaying events in ~real-time, curated with the benefit of hindsight, building up to a reveal we all know is coming.
