And why is this crook representing the United States in negotiations with Russia and Ukraine in the first place? Who elected him? Where the hell is the Secretary of State?

[tern @1goodtern]

These are just wild.

Things are so far from back to normal.

Teenage kids are off school over 40% more than they used to be pre-pandemic.

Ten striking findings in the new German Long Covid guidelines:

1 Long covid can be a progressive, multi-organ chronic disease
The guideline adopts the NASEM definition of long covid as an infection-associated chronic illness that can persist, fluctuate or progressively worsen.

To understand what's at stake, take a look at this brilliant diagram (h/t Bloomberg) with Nvidia at the dead heart of the AI bubble. I wrote this exactly a year ago when only @GaryMarcus & @edzitron aside from niche business press were talking about it

🚨
Covid infections speed up your biological clock (not a good thing), and the worst affected are teenagers.

We warned about this, they said we were scaremongering, and now here it is in black and white.

Avoid every covid infection you can.
Mask up.

Of course he did. Palantir hired Tom Watson to schmooze his old pals. And he did.

There is no world in which Palantir helps boost "the UK's tech sovereignty". We need to know exactly how @YvetteCooperMP made this decision, based on what evidence & what data?

@SGriffin_Lab @covidinquiryuk @KayBurley I know. It’s unbelievable how they’ve corrupted every learning from the Covid Inquiry.

And don’t miss the follow-up🧵 about how the new guidance completely fails to take a ‘cautious approach to transmission risk’, which was the 1st recommendation from the Inquiry M3 report…

[Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice UK @CovidJusticeUK]

Following the Covid Inquiry's damning verdict on @MattHancock, we've launched a petition to remove him from the Privy Council.

His actions led to thousands of avoidable deaths.

This is a first symbolic step towards accountability.

The next time Nick Clegg in invited onto BBC to pontificate as an independent tech expert…please note that here he is, named in the $27bn New Mexico judgment as one of execs engaged in a systematic cover-up of Facebook’s deceptive consumer practices.

[Laura Miers @LauraMiers]

Well, well, well…

For the record, the whole “Covid will evolve to become milder & more benign over time” thing was always a lie.

This raises a lot of concerning questions. I would like to once again point out we have no idea what we are doing.

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

What does "legitimate" even mean here? The Electoral Commission found massive breaches of electoral laws. It was the biggest case of electoral fraud in at least a century. And that's *before* considering question of Russian interference.

[Mike Galsworthy @mikegalsworthy]

Well - at least it’s out in the open.

Also note that these two were the only international politicians loudly supporting #Brexit in 2016.

All of our allies said we shouldn’t do it.

Andy Burnham becomes first PM to confirm Russian interference in Brexit referendum

Today, people will kill other people by giving them covid.

Today, people will disable other people by giving them covid.

It's the simple truth.
If you don't like it, it's still true.
If you don't want it to be true, it's still true.

[tern @1goodtern]

Look.

Seriously, it's time to talk about what covid infections do to the endometrium.

If this were happening to men, they would have torn the world down.

This country is sick.

And getting sicker.

The woman who says she was sexually assaulted by Cornell University fraternity members has received threats pressuring her to drop her lawsuit. And at least three other women have been targeted after being mistaken for her.

I wish this video would spread all over the world so people could learn how to talk to these sick bastards.

The most damning fact about COVID: you can have measurable organ damage without ever feeling sick. Asymptomatic people show dying blood-vessel cells in their blood. The damage is silent and it accumulates with every reinfection.
