In simplest possible terms: 1. Mask up & clean the air in all public spaces. 2. Nuclear energy and renewables wherever feasible. Failure to do 1 = not enough abled folks to do 2. Failure to do 2 = not enough energy to grow food & survive changing climate.

there is no excuse anymore, someone has to build the Google Maps of the Body, where you can zoom anywhere indefinitely, all the way to individual cells and even atoms, with the whole thing procedurally animated in a No Man's Sky-like fashion

Staff shortages are because of Covid. Rising disability is because of Covid. Excess deaths are because of Covid. Failing schools are because of Covid. The normalization of illness is because of Covid. And, your inability to connect any of these things is also because of Covid

If vaccines really cause autism why doesn’t the US have better trains

When they forced us to come back in person at least masks were mandatory. Came late 2021 and masks were gone. Zoom classes were forbidden by my university's adminstration (even if the prof was willing to do it, they couldn't). I asked them this:

During lockdowns, my university had online classes via zoom, everything went well. Once I got disabled by C0vid so much that I could not leave the house, suddenly it was not possible for profs to let me join classes via Zoom. "If we make one exception everyone will ask for this"

This honestly gets a lot of people. Ok so you have two elevators, one has 10 people with COVID in it, the other has 2 people with COVID in it. Is your chance of becoming infected the same no matter which elevator you ride? No- because viral quanta matters. Infection…

Is anyone in my network a technical writer that’s looking for work?


With LLM-assisted development, you steer a team of competent, eager devs who listen without always comprehending your intent. You sometimes need to be very specific with your instructions, and you must always read carefully. Kinda like "regular" coding!


Artists can do it, why not doctors?

last night i held the first ever mask-required covid-safer concert in france! everyone in the audience wore a KN95, and air purifiers were placed throughout the venue. what a wonderful feeling it was to go on stage and see this crowd of colorful masks 🥹🤍



The legal case against the establishment continues to build.

The BC Human Rights Tribunal decision found for the first time in Canada that the failure to allow for remote work for an immunocompromised employee during periods of infectious disease spread was discrimination on the ground of disability hcamag.com/ca/specializat…



If you can’t have nuclear, you’re more dependent on oil, and burning all the oil all the time is just about the dumbest thing our species does.


We must beware the retributive urge, and always seek dialogue towards reconciliation and better futures.


Imagine typing “Secret Service thought he was an attacker” about a current US senator inside an FBI facility. This would be an incalculable breach of duty by everyone present if it wasn’t completely fabricated bullshit, but it is indeed just thug tactics by the moron brigade.

Senator Padilla chose disrespectful political theatre and interrupted a live press conference without identifying himself or having his Senate security pin on as he lunged toward Secretary Noem. Mr. Padilla was told repeatedly to back away and did not comply with officers’…



Just filed closure documents for the US entity.


I believe the US can one day reach a point where we have respectful peer dialogue and real diplomacy, versus the current policy of imagining a guy to be mad about. But it won't happen under this administration, and it realistically can't happen under this governmental regime.

“safely reopen” society was a scam we needed clean air & mitigation tech like far uvc deployed on a mass scale still do need it actually

Children can’t consent to being infected with a brain damaging virus. Every Covid infection a child contracts is a tragedy and a failure of the adults responsible for protecting them. The pandemic has been failure upon failure and the damage done to the children is an atrocity.

Traditional biorisk analysis tends to be siloed. The cancellation of the contract with Moderna to develop and produce a vaccine for H5N1 tragically demonstrates a point I have been making since long before 2020: geopolitical risks and biological risks are inseparable.
