A reminder:
* COVID is airborne.
* Herd immunity did not happen.
* Omicron was not mild.
* Kids do get sick.
* Transmission does occur in schools.
* Each variant is not milder.
* No wave has been an exit wave.
Minimizers have been wrong about every
single one of those things..🦠

Boost this toot if you're planning on sticking around Mastodon whether or not it becomes more popular than the birdsite.

#Arctic climate rankings are in for October 2022: https://zacklabe.com/archive-2022/.

Twitter users are all like “I don’t know if I can trust a bunch of career sysadmins and network engineers to run their own Mastodon instances” — meanwhile Elon is just running around the Twitter data center going “what’s this button do?”

What's sadly telling in this list of media outlets are the few number of U.S. media organizations that published this editorial, and only *one* of those was by a large metropolitan-area paper:
"This editorial calling for action from world leaders on the climate crisis is published today by more than 30 media organisations in more than 20 countries."

This article on what the author calls the "antiviral" design of Mastodon is a good explanation of why Mastodon feels different from Twitter, and why, if you're looking for a 1:1 Twitter replacement, Mastodon might not be what you're looking for.

A team of researchers has revealed that blocking the production of a chaperone protein could largely reduce the replication of SARS-CoV-2.

I think Twitter imploding could be a good thing because some of y'all have 20k+ followers and are also consistently the meanest people I've seen in my life

The thing that’s amazing about Elon Musk’s Twitter is he's handled it worse than my wildest expectations.

Like when he announced he was buying it, I thought I was going to have to quit out of some hard-to-convey sense of moral unease, like the way I quit Facebook.

Instead, it's like he coated himself in SpaceX jet fuel, crashed his Tesla right into Twitter HQ, then stumbled out of the wreckage to light everything he touches on fire.

All while shouting: "The Holocaust never happened!"

Russia is pretty blatantly using the #COP27 international climate talks to meet with representatives of other nations to negotiate sanctions-violating business deals. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/nov/12/russian-oligarchs-and-companies-under-sanctions-are-among-lobbyists-at-cop27

Chukchi Sea #seaice extent is the third lowest for November 13 in 45 years of NSIDC data. Median extent for the date has decreased 50 percent since early 1980s. All the "extra" exposed open water is pumping heat into #Arctic atmosphere and contributing to ecosystem changes. #akwx

I wrote this three years ago but had been stewing on it for at least a decade before and honestly I can't believe so many people *still* view having EMOTIONS or a sense of urgency about the climate crisis as some sort of marker that you're not a serious person. https://popula.com/2019/08/19/the-case-for-climate-rage/

In case you missed it, the Arizona governor's race has been called for Katie Hobbs.

I refreshed the NY Times election page all day today waiting for Kari Lake to lose.
