A fellow Dragon needs help. I want to help do for him what the Dragons did for me and Sorceress last year.

There isn’t any downside. If we are wrong and the thousands of studies are bogus, all we’ve done is wear a mask and avoided all sorts of bugs. If the studies are correct, tjen webe preserved our health the best we can. Easy calculus.

Dear baby Jesus
I don’t ask for much
Just grant me, in 2026, the calm and the nonchalance of this girl to face the fires of life
That would be enough for me 🔥
Friends, again we find ourselves asking for your help. We will be HOMELESS unless we can scrape together about $4000 more in 2 days. I know it’s a lot but see the update for details on what we’re doing to remedy the situation.
We’ll pay back all we can.

Ai existence made me way less picky to human made art. Now I like almost everything I see when I know that it’s created by a real person who actually tried. It became way more precious and respectful. Please doodle, sketch, paint, sculpt. You all are incredible

ARGH WHY AM I THE ONLY PERSON IN THE FAMILY THAT CLOSES THE TOILET SEAT BEFORE FLUSHING?!
DOING IT WITH THE SEAT UP IS DISGUSTING!
AND WE HAVE UNCOVERED TOOTHBRUSHES AND ALL THE STUFF FROM THE TOILET IS GOING TO LAND ON THE TOOTHBRUSHES 🤢🤮
ALT TOILET FLUMES AT 2.8, 4.4 AND 6.4 SECONDS, EACH SHOWING PARTICLES ILLUMINATED WITH GREEN LIGHTS MOVING FURTHER UP FROM THE TOILET AS TIME PROGRESSES

@burgerbecky was an Interplay co-founder, a true pioneer, and one of the finest low-level coders in our industry. She loved computers and programming her whole life, and that passion stayed with her through decades of game development. RIP.

🔬Interesting new brainstem and cerebellum study in Long COVID - new imaging findings from 2025
A new brain imaging study of Long COVID patients reveals major damage in key parts of the brain responsible for movement, balance, and automatic body functions like heart rate and sleep.
Let’s break it down. 🧵

More than 2 years after infection, people with Long COVID still show signs of a leaky blood-brain barrier (BBB) - the brain’s protective filter.
A new MRI study links this persistent leakiness to motor dysfunction. Here’s what that means🧵

COVID Is Different
I get it. You think COVID isn’t that dangerous anymore. You think it’s just like all the other viruses now.
A lot of it has to do with the times you grew up in. We don’t have much memory of viruses and bacteria killing thousands of people. We don’t remember when it was common for families to lose at least one child to infection before WWII. We don’t remember the permanent scars smallpox left on peoples faces. What we remember are colds and flu. Fever, aches, a few days down. Then you bounce back.
That became our baseline for what “sick” looks like.
COVID came around. At first, people freaked out. Millions died. Then something shifted. It slid into the same mental bucket as everything else. Just another cold. Just another flu.
It’s not.
If you grew up in a second or third world country, places where serious diseases still circulate, you know the difference. Zika is different. Ebola is different. Polio is different. Each virus does its own kind of damage. We used to understand that. Now we’re making the mistake of normalizing something we don’t understand.
Flu and colds don’t breach your blood-brain barrier. SARS-CoV-2 does.
Flu and colds don’t shred your endothelial lining and increase your risk of blood clots. SARS-CoV-2 does.
Flu and colds don’t persist in your tissues. SARS-CoV-2 can.
Flu and colds don’t damage your immune system, causing low T cells. SARS-CoV-2 can.
Now we’re seeing signs it may increase your risk of cancer. SARS-CoV-2 may do this.
The list goes on.
Long COVID is caused by SARS-CoV-2. It’s devastating millions of people. Stop expecting it to act like something it’s not.
Want to break the mental spell? Go to PubMed. Search SARS-CoV-2 or Long COVID. Hundreds of thousands of studies staring you in the face. Tons of damage.
Maybe you’ve been infected a dozen times and you still feel fine. Will that always be the case? Don’t bet on it.
COVID is different because you can catch it every year. You can catch it multiple times in a single year. It mutates fast. Do you really want something that damages your arteries hitting your system over and over?
I sure don’t.
