George Santos Admits to Lying About College and Work History - The New York Times

That's a first. A Republican who admits he lied

This is a Lindy Li toot. For some reason when you share between instances it takes off the name at the top. I want to give her full credit.

To all the Republicans who say that migrants exploit our immigration system

Are you mad Melania Trump came on an Einstein visa despite being talentless?

That her parents came here through chain migration?

Pissed about that too or are you just shitting on dark-skinned migrants? https://mas.to/@lindyli/109583068996051872

Migrants dropped near Kamala Harris' home amid record-setting cold - POLITICO

I would call it child abuse to drop off children in Tshirts in 15⁰ temperatures. They should have arrested the bus driver.

Winter storm death toll rises to 25 in the Buffalo, New York, area as residents remain trapped under feet of snow - CNN

Abandoned cars are making it difficult for rescue crews.

Before the storm hit here, Wednesday, I shopped. I came home and parked my car and have not moved it since then. Even though the roads were clear Friday afternoon, the temperature was sub zero. If the car breaks down you are in trouble.

Not going out in a storm was called "common sense" when I was young. So many people lack it now that we will have to start calling it "uncommon sense"

BRAIN AND COGNITIVE DAMAGE POST COVID IN MILD COVID: We identified a greater reduction in grey matter thickness and a greater reduction in global brain size in the SARS-CoV-2 cases. The participants who were infected with SARS-CoV-2 also showed on average a greater cognitive decline between the two time points. Importantly, these imaging and cognitive longitudinal effects were still observed after excluding the 15 patients who had been hospitalised. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-04569-5 (22/31) https://mastodon.social/@augieray/109574678728169485

My spreadsheet of #COVID19 studies showing longer-term damage to the body has grown to 100 studies. Here's a link and a thread of some of the most interesting. The conclusion is that COVID can attack many parts of the body, remain present in the body, increase risks of serious cardiovascular, brain, lung and immune system disorders, and increase risk of death and disability. Stop taking it so lightly!

COVID MULTIPLIES RISKS OF CARDIOVASCULAR AND PULMONARY CONDITIONS: The incidence of hospitalisation within 89 days of onset of COVID‐19 was higher than during the baseline period for several conditions, including myocarditis and pericarditis (IRR, 14.8), thrombocytopenia (IRR, 7.4), pulmonary embolism (IRR, 6.4), acute myocardial infarction (IRR, 3.9), and cerebral infarction (IRR, 2.3). https://www.mja.com.au/journal/2022/218/1/associations-between-covid-19-and-hospitalisation-respiratory-and-non (4/31) https://mastodon.social/@augieray/109574660047658105

COVID AGES THE BRAIN: COVID-19 is associated with molecular signatures of brain aging and emphasize the value of neurological follow-up in recovered individuals... Aging-associated and cognitive decline-associated gene expression changes observed in individuals with COVID-19 may lead to increased rates of cognitive decline. https://www.nature.com/articles/s43587-022-00321-w (6/31) https://mastodon.social/@augieray/109574661398553526

"#Ukraine is a nation that, through poor planning, is located right next to Russia. This is unfortunate because Russian President Vladimir Putin, a man who relaxes by putting kittens into a food processor, has long wanted to establish closer ties with Ukraine, in the same sense that a grizzly bear wants to establish closer ties with a salmon." #DaveBarry https://toot.community/@YusufToropov/109579543932853647
