I like helping people, products, and plants grow. Working at @june and @Apple and @IDEO is good, but LMK if you want to hear about the time I sold shoes.

Extremely proud to announce that Purdue university has granted me a certification in Rat Tickling (Not a joke).

Lol, my fellow brits using Windows 11 with en-GB in the Insider Program might have noticed that MS has mistranslated ZIP files as "postcode" files in the latest builds.

BETTER THAN RANGE HOOD? Even range hood is no match for the astronomically high rate of particles from frying or making pancakes, dosas, crepes etc on stove. This weekend I learned there is a “DOWNDRAFT VENT” that seems to do a better job b/c it works much closer to source. (1/3)
ASTRONOMICALLY HAZARDOUS: With the buzz about NO2 from gas stoves, what about w/ particles in kitchens? (h/t @celinegounder). This wk I did 10-min tests w/ particle counters. SHOCKING. Lung cancer 🫁 risks from specific kinds of COOKING 🍳as bad or worse than smoking 🚬? (1/20)

Almost 3 years COVID-negative. Here’s what’s in my travel kit: - @flo_mask - Enovid spray (before and after each flight) - small hepa filter - distancing - vaxxed to the max - privilege #BringBackMasks

So, without telling anyone, Dave Grohl brought his giant smoker and cooked/fed barbecue and sides for 500 folks at Hope Mission in L.A. during the storms. Paid for it all. Worked 16 hours. So, when the aliens get here and ask “who’s in charge?”, I think we take them to Dave

Deep breath, repeat after me: all your friends dropping covid precautions is not evidence that you should drop covid precautions.

The pandemic hasn't gone away. The only thing governments have done is shift all the burden of the pandemic onto the people who are most vulnerable and at highest risk.

Short thread on Covid and respiratory support. There are numerous grifters, and serious academics, out there who seem to think if the fatality stats are not that bad, then Covid is no big deal.

I can’t believe we give our kids vitamins in the morning and then send them maskless into schools.

Testing wastewater from planes found that almost all flights had passengers with COVID. https://t.co/VVd4Sth3a4

If you believe it’s now safe to fly without a protective mask, you might want to think again. New research shows the COVID-19 virus has been found on nearly every flight.

I don't follow the logic of "COVID is never going away, so we might as well just do nothing about it". You know what else is never going away? Death. But the entire purpose of medicine is to prolong this inevitability and to reduce the amount of ill health in the interim.

At the #MTA board meeting public comment session, @JosephRappaport makes his remarks holding up a #COVID19 model and with sharp sarcasm about the @MTA current masking policy. “Keep up the good work. At this rate I’ll be around for a long, long time.” #NBC4NY
