Oh no, not an Ariane 5. If it ever launches, it’ll be the James C. Webb Pieces of Debris in the Ocean Telescope.

Wouldn’t Trad It
It’s a very fine line that you cross the moment you purchase or are unironically gifted an apron https://t.co/31swmnxR8n

I was unironically gifted an apron. Dang, I am a tradwife now.
The Chances
Masks are good and we should keep wearing them.
Fuck you, and fuck this. I like breathing and masks make that harder. (No, liberals, don’t argue with me about my own personal experience on this or bring out your stupid-ass fucking oximeters.)
And while the vaccines provide a staggering reduction in the chance of infection, it’s not 100%.
So fucking what? Nothing is 100%. Your daily chance of living is less than 100%. What does this prove exactly in the lib mind?
I wish the conservatives weren’t such assclowns because the liberals are scarcely any better. I’m no anti-masker in the conservative sense. I believe they work. But I am beyond tired of the face diaper and once I can stop wearing it, I will.
Rote Type
It’s just bananas that the “highly educated” and “media literate” demographic is the one that is relatively more misinformed regarding covid risks, especially its relative risk to young children. How did we get to this point?
— Genève Campbell (@bergerbell) May 14, 2021
These so-called highly educated are the same “believe science” types who were claiming in February and March of 2020 that masks don’t work, that not wanting to shake hands was racist, and that Covid was “just the flu.”
They don’t actually know anything or have any insights at all. They merely parrot what they see higher-status people claim (who also often know little) and what allows them to appear morally righteous in front of their peers. However, they have no capability for systems thinking and don’t understand most of what they read so they’re usually only right by accident, and even then not that often.

And, you know, the thing about a shark… he’s got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll’s eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn’t seem to be living… until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then…ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin’.
Put All Your Cardios On the Table
Setting the record straight: There is no ‘Covid heart.’
I was wondering about this, as many diseases cause temporary myoacarditis (inflammation of the heart), but it eases weeks or months after. I suspected Covid might be the same. Looks like my suspicions were correct.
Doesn’t mean long Covid is not real — I think it is. It just means that Covid is likely not causing long-term heart problems.
What I Expected To See
The term "breakthrough" infection is so off the mark
—Most only show up because a routine PCR test was done
—Rarely are there symptoms.
—The viral load is so low sequencing is not possible in most
—The chance that someone could spread covid is close to zero, yet to be documented pic.twitter.com/YhwHSHlD3q— Eric Topol (@EricTopol) May 14, 2021
Exactly. Vaccines are working as expected. Panic not warranted.
Soundness
i can't believe that people made fun of the rumsfeld 'unknown unknowns' line. it is a really good way of subdividing the world of possible facts!
— rev. howard arson (famous archaeologist) (@Theophite) May 16, 2021
Agreed. Whatever Rumsfeld’s other flaws, that analysis was epistemologically sound.
But I also like to add the “unknown knowns.” That is, things you think you know but are completely wrong about. We’ve seen a lot of instances of that during the pandemic.

11 rotations, so that’s about 1 minute 17 seconds.
I could’ve gone longer, but that’s as many times as the ball rotates. When I was a kid, I could easily hold my breath for more than two minutes while actively swimming.
Used to freak people right the fuck out. Still have decent lung capacity it appears.
