This is the tweet that upset NZ media COVID 'expert' @SiouxsieW so much she was forced to block me :).

Even though this is what Fauci himself says (the last part is actually from @VPrasadMDMPH)

Does this mean I'm off the team now??

[Mark Thomson @markmthomson]

@SiouxsieW Repeat after me..."we're almost all going to get it"

Mostly likely multiple times in our lifetime.

@ajthompson13 Thank you.

@dhh I've been on Mint for 15 years of Rails development, before that Ubuntu. Would be interested in someone doing a comparison video.

@Protestia 'Disavows' is your word. He says he is skeptical but does not outright deny. Nuance matters.

@windyapp_co you seem to have screwed up my windy app pretty good. For a given location, I used to be able to tap on a 3 hour time segment and the map would show the predicted conditions for that time. No longer. Why?

[Mark Thomson @markmthomson]

@dpfdpf So if in the heat of the moment, the man forgets to say yes, the woman will be prosecuted. I guess. Good to know.

@NZ_Trav The boat was left to drift after taking the sailor off?

@2ETEKA Park where? With new socialist Winston?

@MbarkCherguia Turn off the computer and go for a run.

@MikeWingerii 1. Would it be blasphemy if it depicted Trump as an apostle healing the sick (Acts 5:12). 2. Is this more problematic or less than killing occupants of boats in the Carribbean without legal process and ordering that there be no survivors.

@DavidAFrench How about Kavanaugh?

[Mark Thomson @markmthomson]

@MHReddell @EricCrampton Correct, and "reduce" is also not "eliminate."

[Mark Thomson @markmthomson]

@k_mahlburg @grok can you find me a link to the paper referenced here.

[Mark Thomson @markmthomson]

@radionz is not fit for purpose. It should be disestablished.

This morning, Radio NZ played a long ABC piece on a new Australian study on vaping.

Shame that neither RNZ nor the ABC checked the Science Media Centre's review of that study.

Let's have a look at what the SMC's experts had to say.

@aniobrien Read it in high school. Don't remember much about it, but seem to recall there was some recurring expression?

[Mark Thomson @markmthomson]

@CoachDanGo Lol, the best carb is none!

[Mark Thomson @markmthomson]

@aniobrien Sultans of Swing, especially the Alchemy Live version is great, but it's not a solo. Try Edith Pageaud's performance of Domenico Scarlatti's Sonata in B minor, K27.

[Mark Thomson @markmthomson]

@damienmgrant @grok @UnityNewsNet Good response. It pays to be polite to our future AI overlords!

@SharylAttkisson Carnivore diet + nearly daily exercise. Transformational. At the age of nearly 63, I have as much energy as I did at 20.
