New review on masks & Covid isn’t what you think https://t.co/i8pVZPwwU5 by @KelseyTuoc via @voxdotcom cc @DFisman @GidMK Review mixes studies (78, most non-pandemic) with 2 (more positive) COVID mask studies. “...really surprised that @cochranecollab let this go through.”
vox.com
A meta-analysis seeks to be the last word on the effectiveness of masks, but finding answers in science isn’t that easy.

I’ve been seeing this account all over my feed lately and I just wanted to say that they blatantly spread misinformation and don’t credit any of the people whose photos they use. It’s really sad that so many people follow. It really does impact us science communicators.

Hmmm. I just had a bizarre experience, involving a global news organisation and a trillion dollar corporation. (I got caught in the middle, so... owch.) It’s not the sort of experience the people involved usually talk about in public… so I think I’ll talk about it in public. 🧵

8yo: Dad did the niners win me: yes 8yo: of course they did they’re famous me: they don’t always win sweetheart. Being famous doesn’t mean you always win. Sometimes people are famous for losing. 8yo: oh wow, really?! I better get to work losing then!

What human problem is this fixing? Is it materially better than the current method? How? Very curious.
This house sold as a real word NFT for $175,000 over the weekend. The way it works: - The LLC takes ownership of the property - They tokenize the property & mint an NFT that represents ownership of the house - Holding the NFT gives you ownership of the actual house

Totally sustainable right?!
The average US consumer now spends 52% of their take-home pay on mortgage payments—almost double the recommended ratio of 28%. Even worse, 70% of people in the US can’t afford to buy a home in their state. (per @House_Method)

Don't know who needs to hear this, but Putin's annexation "referendum" was a propaganda operation and no one should fall for it. Even if you actually tried to make it fair, a "referendum" in a war zone during a war of aggression that has displaced millions has no legitimacy.

I never ask this, but I'm asking now: Please retweet this. Texas plans to kill Melissa Lucio in four days. Five jurors say evidence was withheld from them. A bipartisan majority of the Texas legislature favors clemency. Why are you waiting, @GovAbbott? https://t.co/9iMkVhNDrQ

The execution of Melissa Lucio would be the first of a Hispanic woman in Texas. New evidence casts doubt on her conviction.
