Being familiar is navigating chaotic road at hometown, I was confidently riding the bicycle around a busy big roundabout in China without any traffic light and blindly trusting the driver does not knock me over.
Hah..

Israel completely destroyed Hussein’s restaurant and resort in southern Lebanon. One of the most beautiful places in the south is now ashes

I saw the film Palestine 36 last night, while in Beirut. It portrays how the British kept handing Palestinian land to Zionist settlers, and how indigenous rural Palestinians organised armed resistance to fight back.

Two things. First, 'israel' clearly learned their brutal tactics for oppressing Palestinians from the British. Rounding up men, executing them, blowing up whole villages, setting fire to crops etc. etc. It is demonic that these same tactics are still being inflicted on Palestinians and Lebanese villages right now, and the world abandons them.

Second, why can't we humanise Palestinian resistance fighters now? The film heroised the men who took up arms. It is a disgrace that so few are willing to stand up for, defend, or humanise the men who are taking up arms against the occupation now. Maybe they will make films about them in 100 years when there is nothing riding on it.

Last full day of our 2-week Sichuan road-trip and we end it on a high point: a visit of SanXinDui, one of the greatest archeological discoveries of all times, anywhere in the world.

Unfortunately SanXinDui is bizarrely unknown in the West, even though it ranks on par with things like the discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb or the Terracotta army in Xi'an.

SanXinDui used to be the capital of China's ancient Shu kingdom which ruled here between 1,700BC and 1,200BC so everything in the museum is 3,000 to 4,000 years old.
The artifacts found here - and they uncovered an incredible 17,000 objects already - are beyond extraordinary, almost otherworldly, revealing a unique culture unlike anything that had been found in China before. And a culture much more advanced for that time period of Chinese history than had been assumed before.

Here you can see 4 pieces we just saw in the museum:
- A monumental bronze mask in pure SanXinDui style, with protruding eyes that archeologists believe symbolizes a far-sighted leader or shaman
- A typical SanXinDui mask with a gold plated mask on top of it
- A monumental 4m tall bronze "tree" with dragons for its roots and birds with 9 fruits and birds on its branches
- A wheel with 5 beams thought to represent the sun

WASHINGTON — In the next five years, the Earth is overwhelmingly likely to surge again and again past the international climate threshold set as safe and shatter its hottest-year record along the way, according to new United Nations climate projections.

Not being able to communicate in the same language is hard when you travelling.
I really really should learn basic language.

@ryangrim It really does suck, and it's just the tip of the iceberg. The left should be screaming about it - it's the #1 workers' rights issue of our time.

This may be one of the more important long COVID papers in a while.
A new study in Frontiers in Immunology suggests that COVID can trigger new-onset insulin resistance - and that this may drive abnormal NETosis in neutrophils months after infection🧵

Tanah sebelah stesen USJ7 punyalah dah lama takde apa berlaku lebih 10 tahun rasanya.

Dari masa tu, patut bolehlah consider buat hospital, senang ada LRT, tapi now dah ada developer nak buat condo lagi.

Cross junction sana dah busy, makin parah la jem nanti, haih.

[Joseph Allen @j_g_allen]

I’m so incredibly frustrated. We have an outbreak report for the cruise ship, published in NEJM, and great clinical, epidemiological, and genomic reporting, and…

NOT A SINGLE MENTION OF VENTILATION/FILTRATION SETUP ON THE SHIP

Folks, we keep doing this. A lot of MD/PhD coauthors on the “Andes Virus Outbreak Working Group”, and no one with expertise on mechanical systems. And no one on the team even thought to check or investigate it.

It’s malpractice at this point, and I’m not exaggerating in my use of the term. I do investigations in buildings and if I failed to check the status of the mechanical systems I’d be sued. (It’s actually *the first* thing I check)

@NEJM: see our report from The Lancet COVID-19 Commission on this in the thread. Include this in your reviews. Mandate this info in every outbreak investigation report.

The reason I first called the doctor on the ship was because I wanted to see if he could get info on the ship’s systems before he left it, bc I knew the official investigations would miss it. Because they always do.

MIT found Alzheimer's-like amyloid plaques in the brains of people who died of COVID. https://t.co/QbSJWJQhGW

Spike proteins were clustering with amyloid.

This was not in older adults with pre-existing disease.

It was caused by COVID.

Does Malaysia still have train lanes crossing normal roads?
​I remember cars stopping for trains when I was young. If the lanes are still there, I assume trains still pass through, but I rarely see this happen anymore. Especially not on busy roads and not in Klang Valley.

The Pahang Government just degazetted 85% of the Satak Forest Reserve last month. Only 164 hectares of the 1,072 hectares remain protected. With the threat of climate change & biodiversity loss, why are not protecting our forests even more?
