As someone who played the games tho, their props, costumes and set design were dead on. It's a crime they made a movie that bad with all the attention to detail focused on everything besides the script and casting.

Lol thanks that was like 10 years ago tho. I can't decide if it's busy enough to try again or not.

Word. Sounds cool enough to try! stalin-approval

Welcome. Basically what you wanna look for is historical data on opportunistic infections; Strep, shingles, hepatitis, that sort of stuff. I had a Twitter screenshot showing elevated levels of like 8 of them but can't find the dang thing. As that third link points out Tuberculosis is a good indicator of overall immune health and is heading towards shaky ground.

Building counter-cultural-hedgemony as one of the bricks in the Communism Foundation... That's a fuckin awesome idea lol, gee really makes ya think

Before I got kicked off Facebook many years ago I was running a very large number and variety of meme pages that regularly slipped pro communist jokes in the mix. Very rarely did I ever get any pushback. There's way more potential in boiling the frog rather than a frontal assault, imo.

The Last Girl Scout by Natalie Ironside actually has communists hunting fash vampires, but it has trot shit in it

I mean, I'm still adding it to my list! Thanks!

What is this, Communist Cuba?

But he spent much of the 1980s as a founding member of the famous hacking group Cult of the Dead Cow under the handle "PsychedelicWarlord".

wowee

I don't know what to do with that information. I was such a fan of the CDC as a kid. That's even worse than when L0pht sold out.

Yeah, I misunderstood what that term meant.😅 chomsky-yes-honey

[-] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago

And yeah, I guess it is a key component of radicalisation, never thought about it like that. Hmmm...

Gotta fight the Cultural Hegemony with more culture.💁 Problem is my reputation as being radical taints my recommendations. I keep meaning to start up like a DNC bookclub or something on insta that sprinkles in agitprop every couple books. "Why does Hillary Clinton love The Grapes of Wrath so much? Let's find out!"

Also regarding that terf chaser, what a useless character! c:

If the book wasn't so explicitly pro-trans I'd say they were a character written to lead Terfs to the light, but yeah, I can't imagine a terf reading that far. Idk, she's necessary for Fran's survival at least.

Awwww yeah, urban fantasy paranormal romance slop

Unfortunately, so much of it so very Lib. I need sexy communist werewolves hunting capitalist vampires!

:Cries in Florida:

Lol, I looked at the Florida hhs website, because other states are giving away vaxxes, and mine is bragging about not shutting down a school during a measles outbreak because it didn't turn into a disaster. doomjak

Direct Link to the Study:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-49891-w

Abstract:

Pervasive SARS-CoV-2 infections in humans have led to multiple transmission events to animals. While SARS-CoV-2 has a potential broad wildlife host range, most documented infections have been in captive animals and a single wildlife species, the white-tailed deer. The full extent of SARS-CoV-2 exposure among wildlife communities and the factors that influence wildlife transmission risk remain unknown. We sampled 23 species of wildlife for SARS-CoV-2 and examined the effects of urbanization and human use on seropositivity. Here, we document positive detections of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in six species, including the deer mouse, Virginia opossum, raccoon, groundhog, Eastern cottontail, and Eastern red bat between May 2022–September 2023 across Virginia and Washington, D.C., USA. In addition, we found that sites with high human activity had three times higher seroprevalence than low human-use areas. We obtained SARS-CoV-2 genomic sequences from nine individuals of six species which were assigned to seven Pango lineages of the Omicron variant. The close match to variants circulating in humans at the time suggests at least seven recent human-to-animal transmission events. Our data support that exposure to SARS-CoV-2 has been widespread in wildlife communities and suggests that areas with high human activity may serve as points of contact for cross-species transmission.

Given that we know that Dogs can get long covid, gotta wonder about the rest of the animal kingdom.

I've also been loving all my preferred youtubers complaining about being sick after coming back from OpenSauce. Great stuff. this-is-fine

One of the ways I remind myself to not stop masking is that I'll search twitter for whatever convention I wanted to go to along with covid and watch the results come in.

the saga continues

None of these are any I haven't seen, they must not have gotten any fresh ones to celebrate the shooting yet. Also, you may remember that last week I jacked some fash politician's America First laden corrugated sign next to the road. Well, I left the empty metal holder there, and now there's a second empty holder! So hopefully there's a comrade out there helping out. stalin-approval

Oh, my soundtrack was Utah Phillips's We Have Fed You All for a Thousand Years. Highly recommend!

Btw, if you're looking for a cheap plastic scraper you can get one and like 20 plastic razor blades for a couple of bucks on aliexpress in their "choice" section. I paid $16 for 2 on Amazon last year. Lmao.🙃

This is a really good like State of the Covid letter, of where we're at right now. It ain't great, obviously. This guy is an epidemiologist with a background in hospital infection control and emergency management.

These are absolutely going to start showing up at protests.

WastewaterSCAN is the dashboard a lot of us have switched over to after biobot sunsetted their dashboard. They've only dropped 49 sites, but that's still less data in a dwindling realm. Idk if it's related or not but I've lost yet another major county's data in Florida.

https://data.wastewaterscan.org/

Also, tbh, I prefer biobot's dashboard, but I guess in the land of a million freaking toothpaste brands having reliable analytics for an ongoing pandemic is too much to ask.

Kinda figured they'd be back after the shooting.

Bonus election road sign grabbed. Because remember what Woodsy says, "Give a hoot, don't let fascists advertise their bullshit in your neighborhood." black-bloc

I'm not affiliated with these folks in any way, nor have I gotten around to joining them. Yet. One of these days.

Good read overall, I recommend checking out the post, but here's the big highlights imo.

I know a lot of us have been watching Disability Numbers in the workforce and Long term sick in the UK. Here's some more fuel for the fire.

“New data from the official Spanish health survey. The share of the population that has a chronic illness now stands 9.8 standard deviations above its prepandemic average. Hospitalizations, 5.9 standard deviations above its average. All age groups doing badly.” Full thread here

Tuberculosis is on the rise. They mention that during the early years of HIV, it's rise served as an indicator of AIDS/Immune damage.

[cw:dead rat image] They wanna stress that covid is a vascular illness, not a respiratory illness.

Recent study found:

The pooled analysis found no significant increase in the risk of myocarditis among vaccinated pilots compared to unvaccinated pilots
