Thanks to Violet Affleck’s public comment, pretty much every media outlet of note in the world is now writing about masks and Long COVID… even the New York Times!

A Daughter of Hollywood Royalty Appeals to Los Angeles: No Mask Banswww.nytimes.com Violet Affleck, the eldest child of Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck, called for greater access to masks in a short speech during which she revealed her own “post-viral condition.”

“We show the overall incidence of cognitive impairment among older COVID-19 survivors was 19.1% at 2.5 years after infection & hospitalization…. Cognitive decline primarily manifested in individuals w/ severe COVID-19 during the initial year of infection.” www.nature.com/articles/s43... #LongCovid

He loved the natural world, and I'm glad to have read his work when it was new. Here's a very short story he did with Steve Bissette and Alan Moore in his indie series with Stephen Murphy, Puma Blues. Drew Ford, also late, also unfairly, convinced Dover to reprint the series with a new final story.

"Project 2025 is not targeting “pornography” as something that’s harmful to children per se, but rather redefining anything concerning sexuality and gender that they say is harmful to children *as* pornography." - @melissagiragrant.com

Project 2025 includes the call to “outlaw” porn. If you want to understand what they mean by that? Look to what these groups are already fighting “porn,” and their connections to anti-gender movements outside the US. I start that analysis here:

Michael Zulli's wife has announced that he died on Monday. His contributions to "The Sandman" are utterly indelible. His work was so lush and detailed, but it cut to the heart of whatever he drew, which was often something that would have been either sillier or more serious in different hands. 1/2

The trick is to learn to #float just above the surface. It is vital that you touch nothing and nothing touches you. I am imperfect at this talent as of yet, but every day, I am practicing my art. Soon, I will be a haunting beyond compare. #whistpr

Google’s emissions are up 48% in 5 years. Microsoft’s are up 30% since 2020. Those soaring figures are being driven by mass investments in data centers to power AI tools. Generative AI is a climate disaster and data center expansion must be stopped.

As a side note, this is John McEntee, Trump's Director of White House Personnel and the primary architect of Project 2025. On Tik Tok he said he gives counterfeit bills to homeless people so they will be arrested when they go to spend them.

It will be difficult to measure how well an AI "professor" is doing helping students learn. It's difficult to measure how well a human professor is doing at that. An AI system will get really good student evaluations though. So helpful! So available! So friendly! That's what gets us in the end.

Yup. As a teaching librarian, one of the most important tools in my arsenal is the question, "Where have you already looked and what methods have you used?" Otherwise, I'm just assuming things like baseline knowledge of resources and tools available. 1/x

As a chem TA, one of the most valuable things I ever did with struggling students in office hours was have them narrate for me how they would solve a problem, and then figure out what it was they weren’t getting. That’s how you get the lightbulb moments.

One of the least nuanced assumptions in US political discourse is that folks who have served or are related to people who have served are patriotic or pro-military. The collective memory and personal experiences of Black, indigenous, and other vets of color makes that way more complicated.

Sophia Sophia (@sophmaclennan) on Threadswww.threads.net Some people have asked me how I was raised into my power and self confidence as a Māori trans person, someone who is Takatāpui Māori. And in specifics, someone who is Tangata ira wahine- a trans woman, whose soul is purely female and that energy radiates naturally. My mother gave me this language when I was a teen, but even before then she would tell me that I was special. That I had been blessed by our ancestors, by this world and the ebb and flow of the balance in the world in being me- 1/4
