Fact check: New COVID-19 variants still found frequently...

Scientifically the pandemic is not over... But we of the short attention span and instant gratification time period find that if was just way easier to roll the dice, keep getting vaccinated, wear our masks occasionally and hope that eventually it'll just disappear.

That's not going to happen. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2023/04/14/fact-check-new-covid-19-variants-still-found-frequently/11615416002/

The Rutgers University faculty strike is over, for now, after a deal is reached https://www.npr.org/2023/04/15/1170284149/rutgers-university-faculty-strike-ends-tentative-deal?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon - via @NPR #news

Pretty much sums things up!

I was wondering why people on my live kept asking about Auto GPT. Apparently they were talking about it on The All In Podcast and one of them claimed it'd replace the need for technical skills in cybersecurity.

Luckily I wasn't aware of that at the time because I would have given my take on how I'm convinced that everyone on the All-In podcast shares a single brain cell and I'd have angered half of TikTok.

Corrupt judge is one whose decision is made before he hears the case, and doesn't recuse.

UPDATE: @CSexton25@twitter.com was finally asked about his Nashville home and the tens of thousands of dollars in per diems he is collecting from taxpayers for a 2 hour commute back to Crossville that he doesn't actually make

Sexton's response was to mislead the people of Tennessee

if you zoom in on the bright spot you’ll see what I saw - a canid, most likely coyote.

no matter how red the state, there is no such thing as a red state where everyone is a republican. to write off red states as lost causes is to do a disservice to the communities that are under-represented and often actively oppressed and silenced

we live in occupied territory and surprisingly! often it's not as easy as just saying "oh, just move somewhere else with no support network and no funding, and if you don't, it's your fault, you fucking rube" -- you might be surprised how much that doesn't help

UKRAINIAN TANKER

The world awaits a Ukraine Counteroffensive!

My plan would be to take out the Kerch (Crimean bridge), then block the Russians from resupplying Crimea from the north of Crimea

This way you can cut off Crimea and bleed it dry

I don't believe you have to attack Crimea directly - especially at the start of the counteroffensive

Just sayin...what do you think they should do?

Again, some people can’t leave Twitter. If that’s you, I empathize.

That was once me. For 7 years, my livelihood depended on Twitter.

Why? Because I helped build a popular Twitter client (Hootsuite), and that client helped feed my family.

I couldn’t leave if I wanted.

But my personal and financial situation has changed, and now I’m putting a significant amount of time and income towards helping people migrate away from Twitter.

When I was a kid, Mr. Rogers came to my hometown on a national tour.
After the performance, he met with us kids one on one.
Hundreds of kids.
He asked me "How are things in your world?"
And then he fucking listened to me.
He listened.
That kindness I will never forget, and I rue the fact that it is largely absent today.

As a disabled anarchist, the one thing that I am most concerned with right now is medication sovereignty.

The pandemic has shown us what the government thinks of disabled people, it has always been bad but it is now blatant. The cruelty is the point, now we are seeing more and more medication shortages, and tightening restrictions on who gets to have what meds.

I implore every disabled person to start looking into ways to source their own medications, the Four Thieves Vinegar Collective are some incredible people doing incredible things. We need motivated people, and people willing to do what it takes.

I refuse to live in a world where when shit gets bad disabled people are expected to sacrifice their lives for "the greater good."

Ableds, we are a part of the good.
