@MargaretOrr Thanks so much.

@MargaretOrr @wdsu Hey @MargaretOrr it's Eric from WDSU a million years ago - hope you're enjoying retirement. I'm taking a sailing course and a fellow student is asking about (basically) Meteorology 101 and how he can learn more. Any YouTube channels or other resources you could recommend? TIA!

[Eric Ettinger @eettinger]

@MargaretOrr @wdsu Don't know if you saw what I posted earlier so I’m going to be obnoxious and repost it. Hope all is well.

@jazzisdeadco Out of curiosity, how old was Herbie Hancock at this point.

@CZEdwards You see this? Fascinating.

I asked ChatGPT to predict the future based on a novel virus that parallels the outcomes associated with SARS-CoV-2 (but I omitted the name to avoid misinformation). Remember, GPT aced medical exams and there are only a handful of people who’ve been screaming from the rooftops about these possibilities…

Here’s DrHouseGPT’s 🔮 thoughts:

Given the scenario where the novel virus has significantly compromised immune systems, similar to severe immunodeficiency disorders, several specific infections might emerge or re-emerge. Here's a list of potential infections to watch out for:
Respiratory Infections:
•Bacterial Pneumonias: Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Staphylococcus aureus could cause more severe infections.
•Viral Respiratory Infections: Influenza, parainfluenza, and other common respiratory viruses could lead to more complications.
Opportunistic Infections:
•Fungal Infections: Candidiasis and Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PCP), particularly in severely immunocompromised individuals.
•Mycobacterial Infections: Tuberculosis and non-tuberculous mycobacterial infections could see a significant rise.
Gastrointestinal Infections:
•Bacterial infections like Salmonella, Shigella, and Campylobacter, which can cause severe gastroenteritis.
•Viral infections like Norovirus, which might lead to more severe and prolonged symptoms.
Neurological Infections:
•Viruses such as West Nile Virus or enteroviruses could cause more severe encephalitis or meningitis.
•Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a rare brain infection caused by the JC virus, could occur in severely immunosuppressed individuals.
Skin and Soft Tissue Infections:
•Increased incidence of severe skin infections caused by common bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus (including MRSA) or Streptococcus pyogenes.
Reactivation of Latent Viruses:
•Herpesviruses, including cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and Varicella-zoster virus (VZV), could reactivate and cause severe disease.
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs):
•Higher susceptibility and severity of STIs, including HIV, syphilis, and herpes simplex virus.
Parasitic Infections:
•Toxoplasmosis and other parasitic infections might become more common, especially in regions where they are endemic.
In addition to these infections, there could be a general increase in the severity and duration of typically self-limiting or minor infections. It's crucial in this scenario to enhance surveillance, infection control, and public health measures to mitigate the impact of these infections.

@alx Advertisers have blocklisted their ads from (or avoided in the first place) channels, platforms and programs since time immemorial but Elton is the first snowflake to call it blackmail. Pathetic.

@TaraBull808 Oh, so now we’re pro cancel culture?

@RyanShead Medical dumbfuckery to match her legal dumbfuckery.

@MeganApper @MollyJongFast Call is the RNC calling into question the efficacy of the vaccines the Trump bragged about fast tracking?

[Eric Ettinger @eettinger]

@EricKleefeld @svdate I’m with you in principle, but my question is what is the legal mechanism that allows the Supreme Court to tell a state, which is charged with holding the election, what to do. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure that the mechanism exists I just don’t know what it is.

[Eric Ettinger @eettinger]

@EricKleefeld @svdate 14th makes no mention of conviction.

[Eric Ettinger @eettinger]

@Out5p0ken @MacFarlaneNews Bingo. The semantic formula isn’t very difficult.

[Eric Ettinger @eettinger]

@mehdirhasan Yeah, I’m over here clutching my pearls in surprise.

[Eric Ettinger @eettinger]

@ClaudetteGGibs1 Flat out applies to the interwebs.

[Eric Ettinger @eettinger]

@WiattChris @donwinslow I agree with you, but was pointing out that a conviction of insurrection (the DC charges) isn’t required. “…shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.” Note: Before my quotes makes no mention of conviction.

@realTuckFrumper @kenyadad12 When has ration and reality ever mattered to these people?
