If pasta, bread, and red meat are so bad, why do Europeans live to 100+ and stay healthy? But when Americans consume these? They get chronically sick. After some research… I found the disturbing truth that explains exactly what's going on: 🧵

Now that’s funny… 👌

A thread.

Tonight on #HIGNFY @Feargal_Sharkey took less than a minute to say what millions across the world have wished for in the Middle East for decades. I hope and pray those in a position to make it happen make it happen. Thank you Feargal for sharing your dream. You are a good man.

This is powerful. #GazaGenocide

What would it take for crypto to have a new bull market? The real answer nobody's talking about:

Processing speed impacts how much you can hold in your head, how you weave the world together and make sense of it, the thoughts that come up when you think about the people, places, ideas that you love. It turns those processes into just a void, a blank wall. #LongCovid 5/

Processing speed impacts memory, because it impacts how fast you can register memories. It impacts emotional awareness & how fast it takes to know how you're feeling. The downstream impacts of having suddenly lower processing speed affect identity in a serious way. #LongCovid 4/

It is hard to overestimate the impact of processing speed deficits. Unfortunately, these seem to be the primary difficulties we see in our Covid-19 long-haulers who can't think on their feet, can't respond to questions or requests, and cannot 'keep up.' @CIBScenter

1/ ON ILLNESS AND HEALTH I have been a doctor for coming up 32 years, both hospital and GP through most of that time. I know what ill patients look like. I understand the illness process, its patterns and flows. I also understand what health looks and feels like.

@jburnmurdoch @FT The full article: ft.com/content/b2154c…. I beseech anyone addled on Daily Mail culture war trivia to read it.

I keep returning to these graphs by @jburnmurdoch at the @FT and wondering why more British journalism can't be as straightforwardly lucid and illustrative as this. The catastrophe of Tory rule laid bare.

I’m finding it extremely hard to accept that potentially my chances of survival seem to be linked to other people’s common sense right now. #BringBackMasks #COVIDisAirborne

RSV rates are not higher this year. More kids are ending up in hospital, though. That is NOT consistent with "immunity debt" (even the weaksauce, trivially true population version), and it IS compatible with immunity damage from SARS-CoV-2 infection.

A word on the idiocy known as "immunity debt". How did such a nonsensical idea take hold? Simple. The obvious mental model for our immune system is a muscle: use it or lose it. Muscles atrophy when we don't use them. The same mental model works for our memories & skills. 1/19

BREAKING: scientists warn humanity that urgent actions are needed to avert catastrophe caused by widespread extinction of tree species 🧵

Thread (1/14) This thread explains the assault the UK government is mounting on the NHS: its historical roots, its recent manifestations and the plans for the future. Most importantly, it explains what we need to do to prevent the assault succeeding.
