This is a very worthwhile interview with actor Matt McGorry (Orange Is the New Black), who wants people to realize the threat of Long #COVID19.

"The science is really clear that getting Covid over and over again is not good for anyone. It feels like where the climate movement was like 10 years ago, where the scientists were saying things and people were not really listening."

Save someone from chronic illness (possibly even yourself). Wear a mask when you can.

“As an able-bodied person, you trust your doctor is going to steer the ship if something pops up. But if I were to wait for them & not be proactive, my health would have continued to decline.”

"When your health is taken away from you, you realize how important it is. There’s not much that feels worth the risk of another Covid infection."

"brain fog is a cute little name for brain damage" https://www.theguardian.com/wellness/ng-interactive/2024/dec/02/matt-mcgorry-long-covid

December 2, 2024- “.. never fully recovered” after two Covid infections.” “Long Covid has dramatically changed my life,” I was in denial about it, because I knew there’s no easy fix. I knew that if I did have long Covid, that I probably couldn’t afford to get it again, and if I couldn’t afford to get it again, then everything in my life would have to change. Breaking out of that denial was the first step.” - https://www.theguardian.com/wellness/ng-interactive/2024/dec/02/matt-mcgorry-long-covid

‘I was in denial about it’: actor Matt McGorry on having #LongCovid .

“Long Covid has dramatically changed my life,” said McGorry, describing symptoms including debilitating fatigue, depression, dysautonomia, Raynaud’s disease & brain fog, which he called “a cute little name for brain damage”.

I thought this was a shockingly good piece about long covid, resonated with a TON of my experiences, from fears of career discrimination to having to be your own scientific expert to the ideas of "health as virtue". The idea of "access intimacy"

Eventually maybe I'll be able to read stuff like this without crying a bunch but who knows

We're so brave and kickass and amazing out here, we folks with long covid

Thank you, Matt McGorry. Thank you.

From glued-in batteries to software lockouts, you're paying more than ever for gadgets that won't last. Here's why and what can do done about it.

Nearly every device we rely on -- from laptops and smartphones to IoT gadgets -- is designed to fail. Repairs are so expensive they might as well not exist. Upgrades? Forget them. And when something breaks, you often have no option but to replace the entire device. It's a scam, plain and simple, dressed up as progress.

After the election of Donald Trump, the power of Silicon Valley needs to be challenged now more than ever — and that requires countries to take control of their technological destinies.

I’m thrilled to share a new white paper I helped co-author called “Reclaiming Digital Sovereignty” with Cecilia Rikap, Cedric Durand, Edemilson Paraná, and Paolo Gerbaudo.

Formaldehyde Causes More #Cancer Than Any Other Toxic Air Pollutant. Little Is Being Done to Curb the Risk.
—

The Environmental Protection Agency’s attempts to reckon with formaldehyde have been repeatedly thwarted by the companies that rely on it. If the past is any guide, even modest steps toward reform are all but guaranteed to hit a dead end under #Trump.

This year, the Biden administration finally appeared to make some progress. The Environmental Protection Agency is expected to take a step later this month toward creating new rules that could restrict formaldehyde."

There's always some kid pointing out that the emperor has no clothes. Meanwhile, courtiers, toadies, and carpetbaggers are too busy acquiring vast sums of wealth to care.

We've entered the post-truth economy. My prediction is that soon, all stocks will be meme stocks, their performance driven by culture rather than anything resembling business fundamentals.

Until all the wealth is extracted, then we fold up tents and loot the next economy.

I never tried online #gaming but know lots of people who did. An interesting article about changes in the online social culture over time and the ability to make online friends.

There are multiple somber YouTube video essays about the lack of conviviality in multiplayer lobbies, and most of them bear titles that gesture toward an elemental wound in the culture.

(One video, titled “Modern Gaming Is Becoming More and More Isolated,” has over 500,000 views.)

A similar despondence has struck the domains of Reddit and GameFAQs, which have historically served as the premier watering holes for fans of the hobby.

(“No one uses voice chat these days,” wrote one user. “People don’t chat in gaming anymore,” added another.)

On a more macro level, about half of Americans are currently experiencing loneliness,
particularly among millennials and Gen Z, who represent the industry’s primary consumers.

All of this is evidence of a generation that has come to believe that a reliable source of intimacy
—even if it’s down the scope of a sniper rifle
—has gone awry.

I would find it pathetic if I didn’t totally relate
