Netanyahu’s rant against the ICC quoted a biblical verse that warns against the dangers of not completely wiping out your enemy’s society. It doesn’t take much to figure out what this means for Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza.

@mondoweiss @palestine @israel It's kind of shocking how much of the Bible is obviously just insane right-wing nationalist propaganda.

Thoughts for :

If all are culpable for the actions of because they voted for them 18 years ago, does that mean all Israelis are culpable for the actions of Benjamin ?

Yeah, I didn't think so.

@nus @liveposting I seem to remember Bin Laden using the same logic - citizens of democracies bear responsibility for the actions of their leaders, and are thus fair targets. Citizens of autocracies aren't.

Ever try to find one of your childhood favorite board games, and when you do, it's this sometimes not even functional, lightweight mess of cheap cardboard and crappy plastic?

I think that's what AI will do for customer service. On the cover, it will look about the same, but when you try to actually use it, it'll feel cheap and ultimately not worth engaging with.

Biden has now cancelled over $140 Billion in student loan debt

This is in spite of the Supreme Court shutting down his loan forgiveness program

This is in spite of republicans killing further reaching legislation over student loan forgiveness

This is another win that voters need to be aware of

Let them know since most of the media refuses to.

At least three wire services have issued kill alerts to their clients regarding this family photo Kensington Palace said Prince William had recently taken that was the first public image of Catherine, Princess of Wales, since her abdominal surgery. AP’s notice said the picture had been “manipulated.”

So interesting to look up your CEO's work experience and find it's just other executive jobs, most of them lasting 18 months or less. And a lot of memberships in private networking groups for executives.

There's literally a class of people who flit from place to place, getting paid way more than everyone else, telling people what to do, and going to nice dinners, without ever doing actual work of any kind. Good luck climbing the ladder - there's an elevator and you don't have the key.

admin, to psychology

I'm copying a public post below from an interesting Assistant Professor of Philosophy and Data Science at UNCC (not a medical doctor or psychologist).

Everything he is discussing is TENTATIVE but very interesting. I'm sending this out now because there is so little in the popular press about what can actually be done to help people with brain fog and other Long COVID symptoms. The research is still very early, and of course medical professionals should be consulted.

  1. The article link from Nature Magazine describes brain damage caused by SARS-CoV-2 related to cell death and especially to synapse loss, leading to cognitive impairment.

  2. The study in Bioelectric Medicine is extremely small, yet shows the potential of nicotine patches in the treatment of Long COVID symptoms including brain fog. (Another paper from the same publication also goes into why nicotine might help with Long COVID: https://bioelecmed.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s42234-023-00104-7 )

  3. He then points to a study on the NIH PubMed site reporting the encouragement of synapse growth from psilocybin.

  4. A comment in the discussion thread also links to a British Medical Journal article on Metformin improving Long COVID symptoms ( https://www.bmj.com/content/381/bmj.p1306 )

There's further speculation in the discussion thread that other psychoactive substances might be helpful. There are perhaps AI bots in the discussion thread discussing psilocybin microdosing, so be aware of that and maybe not get excited that so many "people" are discussing it.

…HUH. Long-COVID destroys synapses, and is a major contributor to the brainfog. <https://www.nature.com/articles/s41380-022-01786-2>

This goes some way to shining a light on the promising results they've been seeing in testing nicotine patches as treatment for long covid: nicotine effects synapse formation and receptivity (tests using patches because they don't habit-form and aren't, y'know, SMOKE [<https://bioelecmed.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s42234-023-00104-7>]).

But what's super interesting to me is that another thing that's also been shown to encourage synapse growth? Is psilocybin.

I once had a white South African roommate. The things she said, like "it was a fair split of land," "they destroyed their part bc they're savages," "we had to protect ourselves from their violence," I was only 19 and knew it was bullshit. What's the excuse of educated adults now?

So very exhausted of articles like this.

Paul Simon who "recently survived a severe bout of COVID-19, which has been linked to sudden irreversible hearing loss in some patients" has lost his hearing, yet “Nobody has an explanation for it.”

Honestly, we can ignore the data, reject the science, and keep pretending we're safe, but that won't stop from damaging the health and wellbeing of more people.

@augieray The Pearl Jam concert podcast I listen to just put up a new episode - the host went to a show and has covid. Also someone in the band is sick (haven't said with what, but who would bet against covid?) and had to cancel their next show.

Sorry everybody, live music just isn't safe anymore.

    From the AMA's What Doctors Wish Patients Knew About Reinfection:

    "Each subsequent COVID infection will increase your risk of developing chronic health issues like diabetes, kidney disease, organ failure and even mental health problems.” Evidence “dispels the myth that repeated brushes with the virus are mild and you don’t have to worry about it.... it is akin to playing Russian roulette.”
