Pope Leo XIV throws down the gauntlet against AI hype.

Don’t Wait For Everybody – Episode 023
Don’t take public health prescriptions from repeatedly wrong Doctor Monica Gandhi.
The failed politics of “centrist” corrupt clientelism has infiltrated and corrupted public health and we need to put a stop to this nonsense all around. There is an audio recording podcast recording (with transcript and references) that mirrors this post. Now is the time to make your voice heard about vaccines. Request for Written Comments—2025–2026 Formula for […]
Is the Pope Marxist?
The bear poops in the woods and Pope Leo XIV was born in Chicago, lived in Peru a lot, and has spent a large part of his life ordained in Holy Orders, so we know he’s Catholic.
A misconception about the “evolution” of the pandemic is ignoring survivorship bias.
A problematic misconception is that people inappropriately assert that covid isn’t severe anymore (wrong) and it’s because of “immunity” – either because someone suggests natural immunity or indeed vaccine immunity
Workers wearing masks while working with food just makes sense, think about it.
I think everyone who works with food ought to be wearing a mask just like they wear hairnets.
This David Grier person belongs nowhere near the health records of anyone.
The data mining that RFKJr wants to do with the health insurance records of Americans is going to go to a guy who chemically castrated autistic children and called it treatment.
More people marked dead in the Social Security system by doge than previously known.
How are we supposed to even know if we were marked dead by DOGE in Social Security if we’re not yet receiving Social Security?
MAGA is actually still obsessed with covid.
And the reason I know MAGA is actually fixated on covid is because I occasionally watch right-wing MAGA videos by far right pundits and various right-wing content creators, to find out what they’re saying for myself.
Is your local county sheriff making deputies defacto ICE agents?
The answer is maybe, because it’s happening in Bucks County Pennsylvania which is 2,000 miles from the Mexico border, and not close to Canada, nor even too close to the coastline.
Claims about pivoting from crypto to AI may actually be false promises too.
Is it even possible for Panther Creek to just “pivot” to anything else?
The covid dot gov website url leads to some kind of lab leak truther propaganda.
Hopefully once and for all people will understand that lab leak trutherism is far right-wing covid contrarianism, and stop letting red-pilled horseshoe lefties push that propaganda in disabled and public health advocacy spaces.
“We are not monsters, we are only following orders.”
Amy Goodman mentioned on Democracy Now that one of the lawyers of Rümeysa Öztürk reported that among the hooded figures who did the abduction, who said they were police and turned out to be ICE agents, one of them said to Öztürk at the time, “We are not monsters, we are only following orders.”
Mistaken houses, mistaken identities, a serious danger for us all.
Smash & grabs by the government with a lack of due process are the threat to everyone in every neighborhood.
Normalcy bias explains a lot of peculiar surprise.
“The normalcy bias describes our tendency to underestimate the possibility of disaster and believe that life will continue as normal, even in the face of significant threats or crises.”
Feeding the trolls maybe gets you clicks, but rewarding stalkers with attention is dangerous.
Just don’t do it, it’s not worth it.
Bonkers quack anti-vax conspiracy social media research pseudoscience stuff floated as legislation.
Politics controls governance. Governance influences every aspect of life, including healthcare. And the crackpot opposition is crowding out the legitimate reasonable experts enough to get bills introduced that are poo circus nonsense.
Peddling false cures is nothing new.
It’s perhaps not surprising that a lot of bogus and iffy claims get repurposed for various diseases, including Long Covid.
“We need to forget about infectious disease because it’s all about food safety, yo!”
RFKJr ran for his position on “food safety” or so I’ve heard. Republicans are bent on cutting funding to local health departments, and now they’re floating in press ending routine food inspections.
