Everyone understands that insurance companies denying life insurance (not disability insurance, ~life~ insurance) to people with LC means they believe people w covid sequelae (10-20% of the pop and rising) are at increased risk of dying young, right? K, just so we’re all clear.

Denied life insurance due to #longCOVID. Pretty sure the insurance underwriters understand the risks of COVID better than public health and the general public.

If you’re queer and you’re not ace or aro, and you stand in solidarity with us, now is a good time to show it.

I know Twitter sucks but it's not 2009 anymore; we're no longer naive to the fact that apps like this and Instagram and TikTok exist to harvest and sell your personal information. Who still rushes to sign up for the newest iteration of THAT experience?

Great illustration of the current temperature spike relative to the trend since the end of the last ice age. It shows just how alarming the recent trend is due to human-caused heating. One note: due to some progress in slowing emissions, consensus does not expect 4C warming but…

Little astrophysics whiplash this morning — start with "The universe is humming with gravitational waves from supermassive black holes", then suddenly shift gears to "We can see the plane of the Milky Way glowing in neutrinos" 🤯 What a time for science!!

One year ago, the Supreme Court made the outrageous decision to overturn Roe, deny tens of millions of women the right to make their own reproductive choices, and interfere with lifesaving medical care. It's time for Congress to codify Roe and make abortion safe and legal again.

Bonus bad news: this is what happens with 1°C of global warming. We're on track for 3°C.

Remarkable heatwave across Mexico & Texas. Temps 110+. Heat Index 120+. This map shows the upper level ridge “Heat Dome”. Maxes out at 4.5 sigma. This means in a normal “historical” climate it’s basically impossible. But climate change makes the impossible, probable.

This is absolutely bananas. There is NOTHING like this on the instrumental record. Its likely impact is probably immeasurable. But is it leading our news bulletins & on newspaper front pages? Nope.

1/ I've said this before, many times, but let me be very clear: H5N1 is closer than it has ever been - by an order of magnitude - to mutating to efficient human to human transmission. If that occurs - and remember, it could occur today - globally, we could not be in a worse...
