4 yrs ago this week, March 2020, I caught Covid-19. I’ve not been healthy since. That developed into #LongCovid, #Dysautonomia, #PEM, #MECFS, cognitive issues, weakness, & tachycardia. I worsen each year, now housebound & sometimes bedbound.

It’s now been 3 yrs since i developed #LongCovid, #Dysautonomia and #PEM
I wish I were teaching instead of resting in bed, because breakfast exhausted me #LongCovidAwarenessDay.

💯🎯 Based on modeling work I've done, if >25% ppl mask (N95), we eliminate massive waves. The power of masking! It is not linear, 25% masking reduces new daily infections by more than 60%. You CAN make a difference.

Look man, I hate that we lost. But being here to support the players (players in tears) when they return to the hotel is the core of all of this. We love no other.

National Bureau of Economic Research finds approx 1.4M excess deaths among Americans 25 and older between 2020-2023 due to COVID, saving Social Security over $200 Billion.

‘Social Security financial health improved due to excess deaths, driven primarily by the premature death.’

[Whitney Dafoe @DafoeWhitney]

Living just one more day with #MECFS is the saddest, most horrifying thing I could imagine.  But I’m going to do it.  I’m going to wake up tomorrow and let another day slide past me without living it.  And I’m going to get up the next day and do it again.  Acceptance, letting go, courage, crying, cursing, righteous anger, pulling out what’s left of my hair, whatever it takes to get through one more day and closer to that day when we get real treatments and a cure.  It breaks my heart every single day, but I can live with a broken heart.  I need to feel freedom again.

[The Shallow State @OurShallowState]

I see more and more comments from non-liberals on X asking the same thing: "How did child molestation become a partisan issue?" I always make an effort to answer that when I see it. Here's the answer - feel free to borrow and/or steal it anytime:
"Child molestation, in and of itself, is not a partisan issue of course. BUT - the American President IS a narcissistic sociopath. And his more avid followers HAVE elevated their MAGA identities into becoming their entire world view. For them, being imitative to HIS pathology, is what they do. Many can no longer control it. And THAT is what facilitated child molestation becoming a partisan issue FOR THEM. Because they suppress empathy, shame, and contrition - three things that Trump, as a narcissistic sociopath - CANNOT feel."
This IS the answer.

🚨 Epstein Searchers Are Missing the Big Picture

Epstein’s pattern was very consistent: he courted and funded prominent theoretical physicists, mathematicians, and biologists — largely from MIT, Harvard, Princeton, Caltech, and the Santa Fe Institute.

These were precisely the loci where many past and current JASON members taught or held emeritus posts.

JASON membership lists are semi-public in recent decades; you’ll notice repeated overlap:

Members or former members teaching at Harvard or MIT Physics Departments.

Connections to the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, which historically birthed many original JASON figures.

Some collaboration nodes through Santa Fe Institute, where complexity science, defense modeling, and JASON thinking merged in the 1980s–1990s.

While Epstein wasn’t inside the classified JASON mechanism, he embedded himself socially right next to its intellectual artery — the top-echelon theoretical science community that intersected academia and defense consulting.

Epstein wasn’t drawn to science out of curiosity alone. His specific obsessions — genetics, artificial intelligence, advanced computation, and “transhuman” ideas — overlap heavily with areas monitored for dual-use potential by national-security-linked science networks.

He funded:

Research symposia at Harvard involving prominent physicists and cognitive scientists.

Donations funneled to MIT’s Media Lab (through Joi Ito and Marvin Minsky), both of which were historically adjacent to defense-funded innovation.

Minsky, for example, had direct historical proximity to JASON-level circles through his involvement with DARPA-funded AI research. Epstein associated with and donated to Minsky, and later was accused in testimony of having assaulted a victim on Epstein’s island.

What’s been documented (in emails, public records, and investigative journalism—The New Yorker did strong work here):

Epstein met and socialized with scientists who had recent or former JASON ties.

He attended salons and conferences where some JASON members were present (e.g., certain events hosted by the Harvard Program for Evolutionary Dynamics and Edge Foundation gatherings).

He donated indirectly to institutions that either hosted JASON summer studies or related workshops (MIT, Caltech, Santa Fe).

However — and this is essential — there is no credible indication that Epstein ever had security clearance, attended JASON’s classified meetings, or saw any classified documents.

While not cleared, Epstein was a master of proximity influence.

He effectively shadowed genuine scientific elites—extracting conversational intelligence about research directions before they became public.

Such information has market value far beyond gossip:

Early knowledge of major AI breakthroughs.

Awareness of defense funding streams in certain tech sectors.

Access to person-to-person gossip about “who knows what” inside the classified world.

Think of it as social infiltration without formal clearance — a type of “epistemic spycraft” that monetizes social networks of elite scientists rather than stealing documents.

The Epstein–science nexus demonstrates how, when elite scientific advisory cultures lose transparency, they become easily parasitized by influence brokers. He acted as a mirror to the moral decay of Big Science—the same institutions that once birthed independent integrity guilds like JASON.

His story isn’t about one man’s corruption alone; it reveals how scientific prestige has been decoupled from ethical restraint.

Bill Clinton once remarked that there’s a government within the government—one he didn’t control.

He wasn’t referring to the “Deep State” as it’s commonly portrayed in the media. He was pointing to a parallel capability that operates beyond any real oversight: people with the power to finance projects that can’t be officially funded, to construct things that can never be formally approved, and to operate in spaces where normal rules simply don’t apply.

The sexual misconduct is what grabs the headlines and draws the public’s attention. And yes, it did happen.

But the far more consequential story is the science.

Designer infants. Human cloning. Hormone experimentation on children. Gene editing programs.

These were ideas and initiatives floated in private messages to a wealthy financier who possessed three critical things: a vast network capable of recruiting top talent, the unrestricted capital to bankroll the research, and the influence needed to keep participants silent.

If your representative, Democrat or Republican, is still silent about the Epstein files, or claiming it’s “much ado about nothing,” it’s time to elect a new one. Check their public statements today.

In 2016, Josh Whitman took over as AD and boldly proclaimed: “We will win.”

Fast forward to 2025…The Illini just won 9 games in back-to-back seasons for the first time in program history, while Bret Bielema became the first coach to win consecutive bowl games.

We are winning.

I curse Biden and everyone at CDC/public health for letting us get to this point with COVID. The amount of lies and disinformation is overwhelming. They took us from a bad situation from Trump & turned it into a far worse situation & sealed the deal. I also curse impact research

[Kedric Prince @KedPrince4]

There are a lot of things up for debate… this isn’t one of them.

Illinois women’s basketball coach Shauna Green is one of the NATION’S best Xs and Os coaches!🔶🔷

In today’s 78–57 win, the way they surgically carved the Indiana Hoosiers apart was incredible.🏀

It’s not just today’s game…her offensive sets and the way this team defended show real promise for a young squad. And her staff’s ability to adjust on the fly, Impressive.🔥

Spain’s Health Minister recommends mandatory masking due to being badly hit by COVID and Flu (H3N2) a month early.

“I am very sorry, but from now on, anyone who has symptoms of a cold should wear, in a responsible way, a mask. This is very, very simple.”

If you don't understand the significance of this, you are missing information that is vital to your health, possibly your survival.

[World Health Network @TheWHN]

We’re five years into the pandemic, and the science is telling a very different story than “just a cold.” COVID affects blood vessels, organs, metabolism, and cognition — and the impacts compound with each infection. It’s the same pattern we saw with smoking: people felt fine… until the long-term consequences surfaced.
