🚨 UPDATE: 8 people charged in Sex Ring “Underground Bunker” for Paying adults to Rape their Children and Pets — Ages 3-16. Trial delayed as mom pleads guilty and flips on co-defendants In Bibb County, Alabama, eight suspects ran a sex trafficking ring out of an underground bunker where children as young as 3 were drugged, bound, and raped with adults paying to abuse them. Animals were also targeted. Rebecca Brewer and mother of some of the victims, pleaded guilty to sexual torture and nine counts of first-degree kidnapping. As part of the deal she agreed to testify against the other seven defendants. The trial for the remaining suspects has been delayed while the case expands, including a federal investigation into at least one of them. These monsters turned their own kids and pets into victims for profit. How long will it take for every last one of them to face real justice?

@waysidescribble Brilliant. More please!

– Not buying it. I crossed the road yesterday and I was fine. #longcovid #postcovid #ableism #satire

@ExpatRepeat Sending you strength!

@Foerocious 😅Well I did live near SeaTac for awhile years ago and still know people there, so if I get really desperate, it's always nice to have options! Yeah, trying to keep my kid safe is pretty much all I do these days, as she's special needs and has some extra medical complexities.

Rant: Several sets of relatives are taking big trips without even considering health precautions, while I'm frantically scheming/planning how to get CC dental care for my my family. Life isn't fair. And knowing my luck, the relatives will likely escape unscathed, but I won't.

@RackMask Any plans to make some in the future?

@Foerocious There are none at the moment.

Filter your world

@ExpatRepeat Oof. Yeah, Calgary is a bit far away to travel for a Seattle dentist 😂. I am so grateful my kids are grown and managing their cc life on their own. Keeping young children safe must be an incredible burden.

@Foerocious That’s fantastic! We have a mobile dental hygienist who comes to us in a van, but it’s a lot of logistics to set it all up. And we have a fairly CC dentist for adults we’ve used a couple of times (in Calgary). But children’s dentistry has been AWFUL- even in the HOSPITAL!

Asked myself why Apple TV is pushing the show unconditional so hard without any mention of where it was filmed or what language it’s filmed in. So I looked it up. Israel. Fuck them

If covid infections make you *more vulnerable* to almost every other pathogenic infection by multiple mechanisms, then you'd expect increases in almost every other pathogenic infection. And that's what we see. Ten completely unsurprising news stories:

MIT found Alzheimer's-like amyloid plaques in the brains of people who died of COVID. buff.ly/ikYRPuI Spike proteins were clustering with amyloid. This was not in older adults with pre-existing disease. It was caused by COVID.

@zhouliang_mask why are the colorful designer masks only n95s?

My "Roman Empire is the realization that my life is a lottery win. Somewhere in Sudan, Pålestine, iran, Afghanistan, Iraq or Congo, there is a boy smarter than me. He is more disciplined, more resilient, and holds more potential in his single finger than I do in my entire career. The only difference? I am siting in a train and he is sting in the rubble of his dreams. My "bad days" are his wildest dreams. My "burnout" is a luxury he can't afford because his only job is staying alive. It's geographical luck and it's a haunting injustice that we all refuse to acknowledge and look away

As someone who works in customer service I can tell you that 45-70 demographic is getting absolutely demolished by that covid induced early onset dementia. It’s genuinely sad

@NukitToBeSure @ParentMishmash This exactly “droplet theory is a load bearing belief”. So good

Well, I got some bad news for you😅 when we lost droplet theory, we largely lost coughing into our hands/elbows as “polite” infection control. It’s still polite, it’s just not doing all that much. Particularly not as it’s often used, “If you are sick, at least cover your mouth when you cough!” when really the only covering that will matter is a good mask. Effectiveness of cough etiquette maneuvers in disrupting the chain of transmission of infectious respiratory diseases pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC38… Simulating the Environmental Spread of SARS-CoV-2 via Cough and the Effect of Personal Mitigations mdpi.com/2076-2607/10/1… Coughing into our elbow/hand “feels” right because we have an entire 60-year-old risk-management heuristic based on bad data that we’ve all been using our whole lives. "Suzy at the office is sick- so I’ll be careful to wash my hands." or "I’m sick- but I’ll cover my mouth when I cough". In China, when we quarantined individual apartments, but all the apartments that shared the same sewer line or kitchen vent pipe got sick because it was aerosols, not droplets. This is one of the problems with losing the droplet model- it’s a load-bearing belief. You lose it, you lose a lot of things built on it- literally. Nearly all modern buildings are built on droplet theory, not aerosol transmission. Scientists and policymakers with a macro view of things reflexively oppose it because, if droplet theory is wrong, it's a cascade failure (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascading…) on a vast scale. So many things have to be reexamined and are likely to be very bad if it was aerosols all along. As outrageous as the ongoing institutional denial is, aerosol transmission as a dominant infection model breaks a lot of things- everywhere, and the people in charge, got there, and stay there by maintaining the status quo, not by being disruptive and advocating for costly adaptation to change.

Stop using my music, perverts @WhiteHouse

I’m going to use the term “USIS” for US+ISRAEL from now on. It saves time. And is more accurate.

covid is like if everyone u know was in a house fire 3-6 yrs ago, and it stressed them out so much that they begin unplugging smoke detectors and throwing away fire extinguishers so they don't have to think about it. and if when their house catches fire again, they just ignore it

@GhostOfSocrates And the whole scene describing how many residents have to be on TB meds 🙄

"Holiday flu" and "you can take off your mask". Dunno why I still watch The Pitt.

“Ziyad Al-Aly estimated cvd may have increased the number of adults in the US with an IQ of less than 70 from 4.7 million to 7.5 million— a jump of 2.8 million adults dealing with "a level of cognitive impairment that requires significant societal support” cbsnews.com/news/covid-lon…
