“Research suggests that even at significantly reduced capacity, stadiums with 20K+ in attendance were associated with subsequent case spikes in surrounding communities.”

I remember when leaders and NFL bosses gaslit us that games weren’t super spreaders.

Instead of incoherent ramblings about debt immunity, that violate common sense & physical laws, while making a travesty out of #immunology e.g the persistence of #antibodies, just put together these established facts:
1. #Covid damages dendritic cells (DC)
2. DC are important to fight #RSV

A dear colleague of mine invited me to imagine my life without the current pandemic(s).
I closed my eyes. I smiled. Took a deep breath.
Recommitted to doing my part to end this thing.
How about you?

I have heard it said

a mask
is a fashion statement

The collapse of Twitter for (basically) self-inflicted reasons makes a strong case for building online infrastructure structured as a non-profit or public utility.

People rely on these platforms for public information, use them for democratic debate and many invest their livelihoods in them.

These platforms are too important to public safety, peoples’ livelihoods and democracy to leave in the hands of eccentric billionaires or the whims of stock markets.

Progress! The meeting date to debate the motion to #BringBackMasks at our school board (@OCDSB@twitter.com) has been set for Tues Nov 22, 6:30pm. Let’s get to work ensuring the health and safety of students and educators. Protective measures are about taking care of each other. #WeNotMe

JOURNALISM 101 RULE: If someone says it’s raining, and another person says it’s dry, it’s not your job to quote them both. Your job is to look out of the fucking window and find out which is true. — Now more than ever.

I'm sorry, did he... tell everyone who didn't want to be "hardcore" to quit and then THEY DID?

Just heard a new term: “Trumpster Fire”

So very apt.

Hi there’s no situation where billionaire - even when they donate all their money to charity - is a good billionaire.

Their grotesque wealth is *always* built on exploitation and even when they give it away they’re exercising power they should never have had.
