New research looks at the effects of repeated Covid infections and finds pretty much what you would expect: you not only do not get any kind of superimmunity, you increase your risk of long-term consequences, hospitalization and death. The worse news is that this holds true regardless of vaccination status.

This is not over. Please take care. Mask up.

My suggestion if you want the Fediverse to work, follow and favorite and boost the absolute hell out of people. It’s not about dopamine or clout chasing, it’s about letting people know they’re not just typing into a void.

Illegal and unsustainable fishing, fossil fuel exploration, the climate crisis and disease are pushing marine species to the brink of extinction, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) red list, with populations of dugongs, abalone shellfish and pillar coral at risk of disappearing for ever.

Great to see that the Ottawa Public Library has 28 CO2 monitors that people can check out and borrow to verify ventilation in various spaces they visit. If you live in Ottawa these are now available if you want to try one out ( https://cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/ottawa-library-carbon-dioxide-detectors-borrow-1.6678651 ).

This is Maria Czechowska, my father's first wife. She remained in Warsaw during the German occupation but was caught working for the Polish resistance. She was taken to the Pawiak jail where her family managed to stop her immediate execution. However she was then taken to Auschwitz and murdered there on 10 January 1944. Prisoner number 69336. Remember her. #auschwitz

@arth This is a great explanation of git commands and data flow. I've uploaded the image with an alt-text description.

I ran into my ex three months after he dumped me & he started the conversation with “long time no see.” Yeah….as per your request…

can we at least recognize that if AI is built by people who have been socialized in a systematically racist society that the AI will also be racist????

Solidarity with the UC workers who are in their fourth week of the biggest strike in US higher education history. Let me remind you: absent the workers in a university, there's nothing. Workers not only deserve better wages & benefits, the quality of a UC education depends on it.

I'm curious if there is any sense of whether #mastodon has or is developing a generational identity?

Anecdotal or data-driven takes welcome, but as a start, indicate your #generation below and boost. Discussion of the assumptions behind this welcomed!

(I had to lump older generations in with boomers because evidently surveys are limited to four choices.) #generation #GenX #genz #millenials #Boomers

My grandfather, #KarlWeingberger, who died from sepsis OTD in 1941. He had been a highly respected lawyer in Würzburg, Germany. My grandmother, Ruth and two young children were deported to #Auschwitz in 1943. My mother had escaped on the #Kindertransport and was the only one of the family to survive. @auschwitzmuseum

Leaders aren't issuing mask mandates due to politics, but they're misguided: In multiple elections in Australia, NZ, and even the US, there has been no strong political blowback to leaders who were strong on COVID measures, with many winning re-election!
