Steeped in gaming and rightwing culture wars, Musk and his team of teenage coders set out to defeat the enemy of the United States: its people

If the mandate of DOGE was to “[modernise] federal technology and software to maximise governmental efficiency and productivity”, in the words of the executive order that launched the initiative on 20 January 2025, the reality was a strengthening of the state’s surveillance capacities.

Over time, Musk had become convinced that the real bugs in the code were people, especially the non-white illegal immigrants whom he saw as pawns in a liberal scheme to corrupt democracy and beneficiaries of what he called “suicidal empathy”. He understood empathy itself in coding terms. It was an “exploit” or a software vulnerability against which the system architecture needed to be hardened.

A recent survey among Quebec healthcare workers demonstrated that the cumulative risk of developing long COVID from an acute infection is 17% and increases with each infection. The estimated prevalence of long COVID in this population was 5.6%. Other research places the global risk as high as 40% among healthcare workers who have contracted an acute SARS-CoV-2 infection. …

Nevertheless, many healthcare workers still don’t believe that long COVID is real, despite dramatically disabling symptoms in people with no preexisting risk factors. “The me before and the me now are such opposites,” said Pinard. “I would swim three mornings a week before going to the office. I was running 40 km. I was traveling every second week. Now I leave my house only every 2-3 months….I was where I was supposed to be [with COVID vaccination]. I was in good health. I wasn’t depressed; I wasn’t anxious.” …

Hulme and other interested parties have tried to help build the infrastructure needed to provide care for patients with long COVID, but they have faced many barriers. Although the condition shares many features with fibromyalgia, myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, guidelines for those conditions could not mention long COVID by provincial government decree. “There are many, many political reasons as to why [long COVID] should not become a big deal,” said Hulme. “There are still little pockets of money for research, but they are very small.”

For decades, David Suzuki has been a familiar face and voice in Canada — known for his rare ability to make complex scientific and environmental issues understandable.

That gift reached millions through The Nature of Things, the iconic CBC television series he began hosting in 1979.

Over time, he became known not only as a scientist and broadcaster, but as a passionate and outspoken environmental advocate — one of the first major public figures to call for urgent action on global warming.

He deepened that commitment in 1990 by founding the David Suzuki Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to developing practical solutions to some of the planet's most pressing environmental challenges.

Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, who is a leading Republican candidate for governor, has seized more than 650,000 ballots from last November’s election and is investigating whether they were fraudulently counted.

“This investigation is simple: Physically count the ballots and compare that result with the total votes recorded,” Bianco said at a news conference Friday.

The unusual probe drew a sharp rebuke from California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta, who said in a statement Friday that it is “unprecedented in both scope and scale” and appears “not to be based on facts or evidence.”

So apparently pre-colonial Indian women just… wore saris without a blouse?? Midriff out, tiddies vibing, nobody cared?? Meanwhile our temples have 10% pure porn on the OUTSIDE WALLS where KIDS could see because kama was a legit life goal???

Then the Victorians showed up, saw all this, had a collective aneurysm, and said “obscene” is now a crime. Let the temples rot. Invented the blouse. Made us feel ashamed of our own ancestors.

“They did not simply colonize our country; they colonized the nipple.”

Anyway 90% of “modest Indian culture” is just Victorian missionaries gaslighting us for 200 years.

Link to research paper on Pubmed

There is a huge debate on whether to use head or sed 11q command on your shell scripts, it turns out using the latter can be a sign of dimentia as far as I understand from reading the above research paper. Its in a very reputed journal so it must be true

I can link to a Research paper with that in the title therefore I am right
