Men calling women bad drivers when men still cause 73- 78% of fatal and serious car crashes.
Men calling women “too emotional” when men commit 80 - 88% of violent crimes (and most war crimes) yet also form 80 - 86% of police and security forces maintaining law and order.
Men calling women “dependent” even though women still perform about three times more unpaid care and domestic work worldwide.
Men calling women “overly sensitive” even though women score higher in cognitive empathy across 57 countries.

Sam Altman thinks RAM sitting in personal computers is a waste when it could be put to better use in data centers.
Weird. I was just thinking that all those billions sitting in billionaires’ bank accounts could be put to much better use in our communities.

Up in Canada
hospitals are testing
“Real-Time Disinfection
of the Air”
to protect people
from getting infected
at the hospital,
but here in the US
we have a simpler way
to protect people
from getting infected
at the hospital:
we make it too expensive
to go to there.

ALT side-by-side comparison meme illustrating differing levels of knowledge about a medical condition. On the left side, labeled "My Knowledge About My Rare Disease," a person opens a giant book standing several feet tall off the ground. On the right side, labeled "My Doctor's Knowledge About My Rare Disease," fingers hold an extremely tiny, microscopic book. MyBodyIsTryingToKillMe.com

In honor of POTS Awareness Day, I wanted to share a video that I genuinely wish more people would take the time to watch.
It’s one of the best videos I’ve come across explaining what POTS actually is and just how debilitating living with this condition can be.

📈 The Worst of the Pandemic Is Decades Away
SARS-CoV-2 is not just a respiratory virus that occasionally causes Long Covid. It's a systemic, multi-organ pathogen whose damage outlives the acute infection - and because different organs fail on different timetables, the population-wide effects won't plateau all at once. They'll arrive in waves, spread over decades. 🧵

Before marriage or becoming sexually active, couples sometimes ask me: Doctor, which tests should we both do?
Most people think only of HIV. That is not enough. These are the checks I usually discuss:
1. HIV, HEPATITIS B, HEPATITIS C AND SYPHILIS
Mary-Sarah retweeted
“Covid is a Fake Cold” was brought to us by the same people who insist AI is our savior & data centers are good. The “You Will Own Nothing & Be Happy” people. The people who guard the Epstein Files. The people who are poisoning our food & water. The people whose wealth has increased by over 100% since 2020. The ones who are building bunkers & awaiting “The Event.” The people who don’t pay taxes. The folks who criminalized homelessness & are currently building labor camps. The people who worship at the altar of private equity. No one believes the government UNLESS it’s about Covid, pandemics, & pathogens, in which case everyone eagerly believes we’re getting the entire truth. My God, it’s so sad to watch. And it will only get worse.

Making a new COVID research thread bc this website is trash.
Part 2 of a working thread of published research on COVID 19. Every claim links to a real study. Published, peer-reviewed research from journals like Nature, The Lancet, BMJ, and Nature Medicine. Not speculation.

Based on my Cornell follow the money findings, and with a daughter applying to colleges right now, I wanted to look across more universities to understand how far this goes. So I built Behind the Ivory Walls, a model that ranks America’s 31 richest universities on who controls their police, how many sexual assaults they never count, what they have already been caught failing to stop and how much they have paid to settle abuse claims.
I scored every school on 10 criteria. They come down to three questions: who controls the police, how many assaults never get counted, and how much the school has already paid for abuse it was warned about.
The 10 criteria: who employs the campus police, who those police answer to, whether city police are required to lead sex crime cases, whether the public can see the records, whether anyone outside oversees the department, how many assaults never make the official count, how many victims tell no one at the school, the school’s documented failures, the money it has paid for abuse, and pending lawsuits.
Highlights of findings:
(1) USC, Cornell and Columbia stand apart from the rest. Each one has paid or agreed to pay ~ $1 billion or more for abuse by a doctor the institution had been told about.
(2) 21 of the 31 schools have no rule that requires anyone outside the university to see a sexual assault report before it reaches a prosecutor. Only seven have a written rule that hands sex crime cases to city police.
(3) Only about 1 in 15 of the assaults students describe in their own schools’ surveys shows up in the official federal count.
(4) 28 of the 31 run their own police force with arrest powers, and 28 have no independent oversight of those police at all.
(5) 16 keep their police records completely closed to the public. At nine, the police report up to the university’s finance or legal office. At the University of Chicago, the department is overseen by the general counsel, the school’s top lawyer.
(6) At 19 of these schools, students’ own survey answers point to about 7,600 sexual assaults a year. Those same schools reported about 510 to the federal government. At the University of Chicago, the federal count captures 1.9% of what its own students report.
(7) At Penn, victims told no campus office at all in about three out of four incidents involving women.
If you have a child applying to college this fall or attending one right now, all 31 schools are in the article. Public universities are next, so let me know what other schools you want run next!
Full article is up on my Substack now (link in bio and it's free).

Things that are connected:
US live-streaming the firing squad execution of a paraplegic in a wheelchair. The public calling CPS on celeb parents with disabled babies & demanding their removal. US states bringing back forced institutionalization in private equity-owned institutions. US removes disability protections & cuts off disability services, as we’re systematically disabled by unmitigated pandemics & no one can afford healthcare. US/Canada euthanizing the disabled, poor, & mentally ill. Netherlands just euthanized a baby. Very obvious increases in ableist content, beliefs & behaviors, after we learned cognitive disabilities in the US have increased by over 40% since 2019 & the RECORD disability we’ve ignored since 2020 continues to increase. There is no funding & no help for the rapidly increasing disabled population, which is YOUNG & GROWING YOUNGER, only institutionalization to enrich private equity & certain premature death.
Human life has been fully devalued. Bad things are upon us & even worse things are coming. All together now: This is a Business Model. In the end, they’re going to kill us.

This is Matthew Schleier. In October of 2024, he strangled his five year old son Jack to death, and three months before the Lindsey Clancy trial began he was found not guilty by reason of insanity.
There was no outrage; in fact, like most murders of children by their own fathers, Jack’s death barely even made national headlines. All of the people who are so rabidly furious because Lindsey Clancy might get locked up in a state hospital instead of in a prison didn’t so much as lift an eyebrow when the judge sent Mr. Schleier off to the psych ward, even though he became eligible for release after just 60 days. His lawyers are already clamoring for him to be let out, claiming that he’s made excellent progress.
In fact, it’s entirely possible that Schleier will be released within the year, with absolutely zero public outrage having been stirred up from start to finish — even though by now he’s been repeatedly brought to the attention of the people who hate Lindsey Clancy so much that they want to watch her die.
It’s almost as if the fanatics who want her dead don’t actually care about kids at all, and just jumped on her case because it gave them the opportunity to shit all over women. They certainly twisted the narrative at every opportunity. Women who said they believed that she was in psychosis were accused of “supporting the murders.” It was claimed that Lindsey Clancy wasn’t mentally ill and AT THE SAME TIME claimed that her post partum issues were proof that women should lose the right to vote. Any woman who dared do anything other than howl for blood was painted as a murderous bitch who cheered over the children’s deaths and wanted Lindsey Clancy to go free immediately, even when they specifically said that she should spend the rest of her life in a hospital. We were told — repeatedly — that any parent who murders a child should be executed, and that for them to be found not guilty by reason of insanity would be a travesty of justice.
Well, here’s Matthew Schleier. The travesty has happened, so where’s your outrage? Where’s your claim that, since men are much more likely to suffer from schizophrenia, they should lose the right to vote? And before anyone says “well but no one supported him,” allow me to remind you that millions of men have made Andrew Tate rich.

Masks are great. But they aren’t magic. Throw a high enough viral load into an inadequately ventilated room and give it enough time, and keep repeating that experience, eventually the mask won’t work. Solo masking can do an awful lot, but eventually luck is also needed 1/2

Chronic Illness can be so frustrating because you can constantly rest, watch your diet, wear a mask, take your meds, etc just so you can maintain the same level of chronic illness.

“I WOULD NEVER TAKE OPIOIDS.”
People say that with such confidence.
Usually from inside a body that lets them sleep.
A body that lets them shower without wondering how much pain it will set off.
A body that lets them stand in a kitchen, drive to the store, sit through dinner, work, exercise, make plans and assume their body will cooperate.
So from there, sure.
It probably feels very easy to know exactly what you would never do.
But live in severe pain for a year.
Then two.
Then five.
Wake up hurting.
Go to sleep hurting.
Start measuring your days by how long you can stand, how far you can walk, how many hours you can function before your body collects the debt.
Cancel enough plans that people eventually stop asking.
Watch your independence disappear one ordinary thing at a time.
The grocery store.
The shower.
The drive.
Dinner with your family.
A decent night’s sleep.
And while all of that is slipping away, you do what everyone tells you to do.
You keep looking for another answer.
Another treatment.
Another thing that might give you some piece of your life back.
Try physical therapy.
Try injections.
Try nerve medications.
Try antidepressants.
Try medical cannabis.
Try DMSO.
And it continues…
Try ice.
Heat.
Stretching.
Breathing.
Diet changes.
Supplements.
Procedures.
Try being told to “give it time.”
Try being told to “stay positive.”
Try everything people insist you should try before they will finally believe you have tried enough.
Then imagine that one treatment finally turns the volume down.
Not to zero.
Just enough.
Enough to shower.
Enough to cook.
Enough to drive.
Enough to sleep.
Enough to laugh at something and realize, for a few minutes, you weren’t thinking about pain.
Enough to get a piece of your life back.
And then imagine somebody who has never spent one day trapped inside your body looking at you and saying:
“I would never take opioids.”
Maybe not.
Opioids have real risks.
They require appropriate prescribing, monitoring and informed decisions.
But chronic pain patients are exhausted by people confusing their own good fortune with moral superiority.
Because it is remarkably easy to be brave about pain you do not have.
And even easier when every experience you’ve ever had with pain eventually ended.
The sprain healed.
The incision closed.
The tooth stopped throbbing.
The pulled muscle settled down.
You have known pain.
You have not known what it is to wake up and realize there may be no finish line.
So before you tell a chronic pain patient what you would never take, what you would never do, or how you would never live,
understand that you are making promises from a body that has never forced you to break them.
