20,000 Gazan civilian casualties in a month via an air campaign against a postage stamp sized city with zero air defenses defended by dudes in T shirts armed with AK-47s.
What’s a better name for that?

"Ukraine went woke" is one of the strangest sentences I've ever read. Care to explain how or is anything you dislike (justifiably or not) now "woke.?

Emma Green - Gov't & Arabic major @ Georgetown & Epoch Times writer - has something to say about Covid. With zero college science credits, Emma frames it in the culture war terms that fueled her career.

@AaronChalfin
You’re eliding the fact that Stuyvesant is majority Asian - a significant omission considering that all highly selective privates follow the Harvard model of admissions, which is clearly meant to cap Asian enrollment.

Michael Tracey is a "reporter" who claims the images of Russian atrocities in Ukraine are hoaxes. A real reporter would stop tweeting from the frontlines of .... his living room and conduct a real investigation.
@IAPonomarenko
The NLAW didn't misfire. It is designed to pass over the top of the target. When directly above, the warhead explodes sending a "shaped charge" - molten metal - down into the vehicle burning a hole & lighting up ammo/fuel. It worked as intended.

In Gaza, are most of the Christians Greek Orthodox by virtue of roots in the Eastern Roman Empire or Roman Catholic by virtue of the crusader founded Kingdom of Israel?

The US and allies spent 20 years and untold billions in Afghanistan to try to bolster its economy, educational system and military. How much aid has the West provided South Africa since its emancipation? Not everything is about race.

Elon has said he doubted at the time that SBF had $3 billion in liquidity per SBF's initial offer via an intermediary. Let's try to demonstrate more than a toddler's level understanding of finance, shall we?

Great topic. Let’s start by going over the history of military conscription starting (checks notes) at least 4,000 years ago… You can begin by covering the first 2,000 years…

Does Erdogan plan to rely on diplomacy now in his dealings with the Kurds?
That was your follow up question to Erdogan, Mr. Objective Roving Journalist, right?
@MeetJess
The article blames pilot shortages strictly on increasing demand for holiday "post-pandemic" without ever addressing the shortfall induced by Covid + long Covid.

@Columbia
Great questions for her to answer.
But someone who did enough work in the draft to get credit should be credited on the largely unchanged final.
Life insurance actuaries are reporting that many more people are dying – still – than in the years b4 the pandemic. while deaths during COVID-19 had largely occurred among the old & infirm, this ..wave is hitting prime-of-life people hard.
Predictable.

So unless the Chinese Communist Party voluntarily comes forward with evidence that its gain of function research in Wuhan led to an accidental release, no one’s allowed to connect the dots? Good one, Amanda!

The larger question is one of institutional failure. How did Veldhoen get to be a tenured immunologist and why isn’t his current institution putting a stop to his midwittery and misinformation?
@hjelle_brian
Your ongoing engagement with other scientists on Twitter is very educational and informative even when you disagree. Please continue with those because our public health officials and politicians aren't communicating the science in good faith currently.
@SpaceKidette
@slsandpet
Scientists know that Covid attacks all tissues that contain the ACE2 receptor, which explains the rampant organ failure. Politicians want to ignore this evidence because they want to pass on the unsolvable problem of long Covid to the next guy.
@mtracey
Ethnic cleansing, which is happening in east Ukraine right now & which has characterized Russian policy in the past in, for eg, the Crimea, is fine as long it's being applied to east Europeans, Mike? Keep up the "courageous," "original" reporting from your safe space in Poland.
@VirginiaBuysse
“Children are our future” so let’s infect them repeatedly with a BSL3 level pathogen says the early childhood development staff member at UNC (non-tenure track).
Virginia’s doesn’t getthat our immune systems are used to fight cancer AND viruses. She has a non-science PhD.
@elizavetaka
The long term damage that SARS2 causes is internal and, at least initially for many, subclinical (ie symptom free). Further, public health has communicated the idea that the virus causes respiratory damage and little else.

The little one was too smart to reach with his hand to block the shutting door. He seems very .... practiced ... at avoiding being locked out by older brother...
@andrew_croxford
Plenty of people get infected, have serious symptoms (eg sick for 4 weeks) but don't get hospitalized. These fall outside your arbitrarily-limited set of "mild/asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2-infected."
You're arbitrarily excluding a very large population who often do experience LC.
@fitterhappierAJ
These “experts” are now claiming their “textbooks” tell them that it’ll take 100 infections beginning at infancy to confer immunity for individuals. Is there anyone out there who gets 100 flu infections by age 50?
@DailyJLee
Did the CDC do more than post guidelines on its website? Did it actually send letters to schools and school districts explaining the situation?
@TRyanGregory
How do people like Musgrave ever end up as doctors? That's the question that must be answered in light of how so many in the medical profession have self-owned on Twitter during the pandemic.
@Incindery1
Yep. We could see the narrative shift as the first Omicron wave loomed and Biden’s administration knew they had lost control of the pandemic.

(1) denied aerosol transmission of SARS2
(2) denied mass reinfections by SARS2
(3) told everyone SARS2’s severity was due to its novelty (rather than its structural biology) and that therefore it would attenuate and become a cold
(4) denied the extent of Long Covid

@ImmunolCellBiol
Below is an excerpt from Professor Iwasaki’s website. She is a chaired professor at Yale Med, has done extensive research on C19 and is as mainstream as they come. Are you accusing Prof Iwasaki of being a cult member, Kasper?
@RolandBakerIII
She has continued to minimize and deceive by refusing to publicly link her obvs long Covid to Covid thereby not being the leader she craves to be. Not going to forgive someone who continues to harm others with blatant misinformation.

LMFAO at Michael Tracey covering the Russo-Ukrainian War by strolling the streets of his hometown NYC taking pictures of street vendors.
That must be what Tracey's Twitter bio means by "roving journalist"!

Who exactly has Stancil convinced with his calling everyone a racist? That doesn’t work so well for … someone who looks like him…
I get that you agree with his blank slatism but for those who don’t or who don’t have a view, he’s unpersuasive.

@lisa_iannattone
The way that so many PhD virologists and epidemiologists have self-owned in this pandemic supports my theory that those fields are filled with people who lacked the cognitive ability to win entry into medical school.

It's "funny" how there aren't more pictures being taken of dangerous, real world fighting that's ongoing.
The Snake Island garrison that was pounded to death by Russian warships included women.

@clairlemon
No, you decide on their validity by (a) reading their research and the related contrary research of others and (b) seeing whether their predictions play out in the real world. Listening to them (or anyone else) yammer on doesn't accomplish much.
@RadioFreeTom
Another rant without nary an indication that Tom has the slightest clue about the ongoing research into long Covid. Did you know that life insurers deny applications of long Covid sufferers and that the Bank of England attributes the labor shortfall in England in part to LC?

@Osinttechnical
That's why the Javelin and certain other systems have 2 stage thrusters. The first stage is just enough to get the projectile out of the tube and far enough away so that the second, more powerful thruster can ignite without hurting the operator or his comrades.

Michael’s trying so hard to copy the Greenwald grift where the only “reporting” he does is on other reporters. Never has to leave his living room or turn off his TV.
@AlisaValdesRod1
This is the truth that politicians don’t want publicized. Instead they put forth coordinated messaging about Omicron’s “mildness” to make sure the Christmas shopping season goes smoothly.
