@nymetrowx Oh wow. I'm so glad you're doing ok, all things considered. So scary! Be well!

On Sunday morning, I suffered a sudden heart attack at the ripe age of 36. I was extremely fortunate to be in the hands of good friends, family and amazing doctors that very literally saved my life. It will be a few days before i’m back in action.

fascinated by the ultimate vision with this stuff. a sociology PhD pumping out 10+ AI-assisted articles a year. for who? well it'll be too much for any other sociologist to read, so you'll have to use AI for that too. machines producing articles just to be read by other machine

The new academic wealth gap isn't your university. It's not even your advisor's connections. It's who knows Claude can turn 50+ research papers into a thesis chapter in 3 hours and who's still manually coding qualitative data. I just watched a sociology PhD skip 8 weeks of analysis. Here are the 9 prompts they used:

It’s 75 degrees out and nobody is allowed to sit outside on Canal Street to eat/drink. Two years ago there would have been hundreds of people here on a nice day like today.
Huge fail by the Adams administration. Mamdani’s gotta fix this
Charlie@ccbaker2023
It’s days like today when it becomes clear how massively the Eric Adams administration + Adrienne Adams city council messed up by decimating NYC’s outdoor dining and open streets programs. Where are we supposed to sit outside and eat and drink on this beautiful evening?

Strongly recommend following the BBC’s @Shayan86, who’s doing a daily debunking rundown of war-related fakery.

One of those screenshots I think everyone needs to stare at before reading one of those salary articles. I constantly have to mentally adjust to it because I grew up thinking of $70k as the target "good" salary and $100k as wild wealth. But the 70k I used to think of is now 100k.

Brother if reading the Epstein files and seeing the world’s richest white men OPENLY PLAN how to kill off the poor and non-white of the world doesn’t convince you to:
- get vaccinated
- wear a mask
- take care of your fellow man and neighbor
- look out for children
You’re lost.

part of the problem with the united states right now is like 30% of the population genuinely believes that having to show vaccination records at a cheesecake factory to eat inside is literally the exact same as being killed by state police on the street for no reason

So then what, exactly, what this?

The highest rate on record.
It staggers me that no-one in public health seems to be acknowledging that immune dysregulation caused by prior SARS-CoV-2 infection is likely a significant factor in this, and the implications of this concept going forward.

Flu activity is continuing to climb across the U.S. as hospitalizations rise, according to newly released data from the CDC. The percentage of outpatient visits for respiratory illnesses is now at the highest rate on record. abcnews.link/Z1g0Ai2

And wear a high quality mask (KN95/N95 or better) in public spaces. It's truly so simple.
Mark D. Levine@MarkLevineNYC
NY's bad flu season is getting worse. Last week there were 4,546 hospitalizations—most ever recorded in a single week. This is happening at time when flu vaccination rates are down. It's not too late to get your flu vax this season. Find a provider in NYC here: on.nyc.gov/getvaccinated. The tool allows you to filter for sites where there is no cost for the uninsured.

How is this not the story of the century that everyone and their dog might have a dysregulated immune system?
AJ Leonardi, MBBS, PhD, MPH@fitterhappierAJ
Key finding: Post-COVID patients show markedly reduced T cell reactivity to common pathogens (influenza, Staph, VCZ) which is evidence of lasting immune dysregulation favoring secondary infections and viral reactivation Link: biorxiv.org/content/10.648… 2/5

@KaiMADAOZen @NowRosie467 @cocomarvgrows It's reeeeally faint, imo. I've never detected a strong smell from HOCl and I have a very sensitive nose. I dunno, I feel like it's worth a try!
English
@meredithmo @NowRosie467 @cocomarvgrows yeah some pools I'm ok with, but if they're very off-gassy, I can't. it's been touchy. masked helps reduce my lungs wanting to shut down but those are "emergency inhaler" episodes when they're triggered. it's scary. so I've been v. cautious.

hydrogen peroxide is effective against norovirus
and works in ONE MINUTE of contact, not the 10-15 that Clorox needs -
your Clorox wipes DO NOTHING to protect you from any of the things it says on the package because the disinfectant evaporates before it can work.

Norovirus is incredibly contagious and is the most common cause of acute gastroenteritis. Outbreaks peak this time of year, in particular. For more, including tips to prevent illness, read today’s newsletter: news.immunologic.org/p/its-the-most…

@KaiMADAOZen @NowRosie467 @cocomarvgrows To me it smells more like a swimming pool than actual bleach. It's not unpleasant (to me, but I understand ymmv).
English
@NowRosie467 @cocomarvgrows I have zero tolerance to bleach scent/fumes. probably an artifact of having once accidentally mixed vinegar and bleach and gassing myself.
I do not own anything with bleach in it, haven't used it in 20-ish years outside of work environment. so I'm really hesitant.
H2O2 is ok.

Congress is about to pass the biggest set of censorship and surveillance laws in our lifetime and influencers and the media are silent. It’s pitiful

UPDATE KOSA and all age verification bills passed the subcommittee. They are now heading to the full committee. If you were not loud before, it's time to get loud now. There is still a week left in the House. There's a chance they rush these bills through it Call 202-224-3121!

New: Egg producers suspect bird flu is traveling through the air. After a disastrous Midwestern outbreak early this year, we tested that theory and found that where the wind blew, the virus followed. Vaccines could help, but the USDA hasn’t approved them. propub.li/49r1TQS

Calling mask bans “sometimes well-intentioned” while eulogizing a disability rights activist is so evil

Absolutely zero mention of COVID or Gaza in the NYT obituary for @SFdirewolf, just a completely whitewashed version of her legacy. Pitiful nytimes.com/2025/11/15/us/…
