This one weird thing can help protect you and your family from:

- Heart disease
- Diabetes
- Dementia
- And more!

What is it, you ask?

Avoiding Covid!

Why is it a weird thing, you ask?

Well, I can't help you there. Why is it considered weird to protect ourselves from a deadly and disabling virus, indeed.

Back in 2006, AOL tried something incredibly bold and even more incredibly *stupid*: they dumped a data-set of 20,000,000 "anonymized" search queries from 650,000 users (yes, AOL had a search engine - there used to be *lots* of search engines!):

Si vous avez encore de l'argent vous pouvez soutenir une association encore plus importante : le Planning Familial !
Ses subventions ne cessent de baisser et la situation devient critique.

Le web libre c'est utile et génial, mais la santé sexuelle et la lutte contre les violences c'est encore plus important : https://don.planning-familial.org/soutenir-16-juin

J'espère que y'aura autant de boosts pour ce post que celui pour PeerTube :blob_cat_heart:

... et ça marche aussi pour virer les aérosols viraux (on rappelle que le Covid est en pleine remontée)

British MPs have voted to decriminalise abortion, marking the biggest step forward in reproductive rights in almost 60 years.

(Abortion was previously legal in limited circumstances in the UK, but during COVID police began charging women under a law from 1861: they can no longer be prosecuted.)

"New data from Nasa has revealed a dramatic rise in the intensity of weather events such as droughts and floods over the past five years.

A Met Office expert said increases in extremes have long been predicted but are now being seen in reality. He warned that people were unprepared for such weather events, which would be outside previous experience."

In 2021, hundreds of citizen scientists walked a distance of 600 km, counting up and classifying all of the outdoor lights they could see while they did it. The results of their observations have just been published in the journal Nature Cities: https://www.nature.com/articles/s44284-025-00239-5

Find out why they did it, and what they found out in this thread 👇

When people talk about "survival of the fittest" or "the crime of empathy," I want clips like this to be pressed into the sides of those people's self-serving dumbfuck heads until they cave in.

Long COVID is Now the Number One Chronic Illness in Children.

"Repeatedly mass infecting kids with COVID is not a public health strategy. It's a fast pass to declining population health"

"So many children are getting Long COVID because COVID causes Long COVID, and children are not “immune” to COVID, they are not becoming healthier with each infection, and the adults around them are doing nothing to mitigate the virus."

"So if COVID is a virus that can disable them, damages their blood vessels, raises their risk of heart failure and cardiac arrest, causes autoimmune disorders, diabetes, and a range of mental health and cognitive problems, then we’d be doing something really awful by failing to deal with, or even acknowledge it. Maybe even unforgiveable."

The Windrush Compensation Scheme denied compensation to 2/3 of applicants, but those who appealed with legal advice/support received much larger settlements.

The Govt. may now claim the scheme is being differently managed, but you can see why the Tories didn't want applicants to get legal aid...

As with the Post Office scandal/criminal actions, its yet more evidence of how state institutions callously chew up normal folk.

Judgement Day for the EHRC - an incredible piece by Ian Dunt.
Tl;dr: #EHRC have well overstepped the mark; any employer who follows their interim guidance probably opens themselves up to more legal challenges than they protect against.
"With any luck, this will be the nadir. The reaction of the MPs on the women and equality committee suggests that we are reaching a political tipping point and patience with this clown-show is finally running out."
