The CDC is telling people on social media that the public health risk of #COVID is currently "low." This is a flat-out lie.

The reality is that #COVID19 causes brain damage, strokes, heart attacks, and more, and current levels of spread are remaining VERY HIGH. #COVIDisnotover #MaskUp #N95

If you don't like that the system keeps giving you choices like Obama or Romney, Clinton or Trump, and Biden or Trump, then the solution is to end that system, not to attack the other people who also don't like it and refuse to pick one of these terrible options

Just had to block my second patron ever, some Trotskyist dipshit who wrote me ten pages in DMs about how great Trotskyist orgs are and then got faux-offended when I explained I was opposed to Trotskyism, as I have expressed many times (and as implied in Marxism-Leninism). Trotskyists fuck off

#MaskUp with an #N95 or better, get whatever booster shots you're due for, and avoid crowds wherever you can because #COVID19 is experiencing a big surge right now, especially in the Midwest and Northeast USA.

Reminder that about half the population of Gaza (2.3M people) are children under the age of 18

That's who Israel is putting under "total siege" and depriving of food, water, and electricity

"Comparing public health agency staff lists from 2017 with those of 2021, researchers led by Jonathon P. Leider, PhD, of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, discovered that 46% of workers were no longer present in 2021.

Importantly, more than 100,000 workers -- which amounts to half of the total governmental public health workforce -- could leave by 2025 if current trends continue, the group detailed in Health Affairs."

"Even though we've had so many people already leave, we still have 40% plus of the workforce saying, 'I'm thinking about leaving,'" Leider told MedPage Today. "These are the people that are more educated in public health science than ever before, in pandemic crisis management than ever before. How do you replace people like that?"

"Epidemiologists are finding #longCOVID is more than just a respiratory disease.

Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine clinical epidemiologist, Ziyad Al-Aly, MD explains, “In some patients, it can manifest as heart attacks or heart failure.”

It also impacts a patient’s brain.

“A lot of patients are actually having strokes and we found that people are having brain inflammation. People are having symptoms that are almost reminiscent of Parkinson’s disease or early Alzheimer’s disease,” Dr. Al-Aly adds.

In fact, people who suffer long-COVID are at an increased risk for 44 conditions of the brain. Analyzing 150,000 #COVID patients, doctors also found long-COVID can cause a spike in cholesterol and gastrointestinal problems, ulcers, Gerd, and it can impact liver function." #COVID19 #COVIDisNotOver

BAD #COVID IDEA (UK)

"Last autumn, all over-50s were invited for a [#COVID19] booster jab to protect them during the winter months.

But only the over-65s should get the option this year, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation said."

"Here’s the thing about long COVID: It’s really common. The CDC estimates that one in five adults who survived COVID has experienced lasting symptoms. Yes, vaccination reduces the odds, but only modestly. Paxlovid does too, but again, not by that much."

So I downloaded a whole bunch of free or pay-what-you-want Game Boy games off itch.io for my Game Dad. They're all made with GB Studio (which is a free super-easy game-making program to make Game Boy games) and so far they're all pretty chill.

A highlight is Analog Age Rainy Day, which has you playing as a kid trying to survive a rainy day; catch is it's 1984 so there's no phones or game boy or anything so you've gotta find ways to amuse yourself.

A lovely benefit of using the Game Dad for Game Boy games is the ability to shift the palette so that it's red-on-black for playing in bed without giving me insomnia. It only works for Game Boy games though, not Game Boy Colour or Advance; I wish this were an option I could toggle in Retroarch for all my games.

I'm getting into the idea of writing my own Game Boy game and I think I want to make it about a tiny smol officeboy/retailboy who gets laid off and joins a moving company to make a bit of quick cash, and finds that he loves using his body and feeling those aches and becoming stronk. And like this is possible now, it's very do-able to make a game that isn't about saving the world or whatever, doesn't have to have mass appeal enough to justify burning a bunch of ROMs and moulding a bunch of cartridges, you can chuck it up on the internet as easily as we could copy a tape game in a boombox thirty years ago and if ten people fall in love with it then Hooray.

Friedrich Engels on Marx, Marxism, and why his name isn't in the title:

"What I contributed -- at any rate with the exception of my work in a few special fields -- Marx could very well have done without me. What Marx accomplished, I would not have achieved."
