If you're flying anywhere in the next month, or going anywhere where there might be people, I'd recommend wearing a high quality FFP3 mask. If you want to get them ahead of the rush, you can buy them here 👇x.com/1goodtern/status/19535…

New study shows how SARS2 ORF8 protein hijacks your lungs immune cells to spread the virus more efficiently and trigger long-term inflammation. This isn’t just acute illness - the mechanism drives chronicity directly🧵
A hidden viral protein may be one of the key drivers of severe COVID-19 lung damage. ➡️ Researchers found that #ORF8, an accessory protein secreted by SARS-CoV-2, can “reprogram” lung macrophages, making them more susceptible to infection and triggering pyroptosis—a highly inflammatory form of cell death. 1/

The most common symptom of Covid right now appears to be believing you have food poisoning: “I had food poisoning and felt like I had Covid.” (But you’re saying it’s still not Covid though right?) 🙄 “Pretty sure I've had food poisoning…I haven't been this sick since I had Covid back in 2020 or 2022. I can't remember” (Sounds like Covid. And you can’t remember because, well, Covid.) 😬 “First I get an upper respiratory infection and then food poisoning.” (Mmm that doesn’t sound like food poisoning….) 🤦‍♀️ “Been in the hospital with severe gastroenteritis that turned into sepsis…. Doctors think I had food poisoning…. Being that sick was traumatic and WEIRD. I saw and thought things that weren't real, like fish frog and chicken people….” (Okay WTAF 😳) “Wonder if i got food poisoning because i went to eat after my dr’s appointment wednesday and i’ve been sick since.” (By why were you at the doctor to begin with?!) 🤬 Then comes the inevitable update: “F*cking Covid. Like, Really?” The script writes itself.

I don't like whitewashing what is *really* happening by using photos from 2025. No scissor lifts or cherry pickers were used in the operation yesterday. Scaffolding and a tarp was used to deliberately miss a federal deadline *and*—maybe permanently—hide the front of the edifice.
It’s done! Trump’s name has been YEETED from the Kennedy Center like the failed grifter he is. No more pretending he belongs anywhere near JFK’s legacy. Bye, Donnie. Don’t let the tarp hit your ass on the way out. 🇺🇸

Fair play.
About to watch the World Cup in the pub when a fella said to me ‘I bet you can’t name 3 Qatar players’ I replied - George Harrison, Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton #worldcup

Musk is the leading example of an illegal immigrant living off public welfare in human history and the man spends every day pretending the real problem is a woman cleaning motel rooms in West Murfreesboro Our species has let this evil man prosper and we will pay the price for it

Thank you, @1goodtern I see you've emailed the upstairs Boss 😊😇
🚨The @UFC press conference for Trump’s Birthday Bash has descended into total chaos! God’s severe weather continues delaying it, flights are grounded, Sunday’s forecast looks even worse, and the crowd is now chanting: “FUCK YOU DANA.”

Once you see that Mark Kelly is a cross between Hugh Jackman and Terry O'Quinn, you can't unsee it.
🇺🇸🤯🇷🇺 "Trump has been kissing Putin's ass for years." A sitting US Senator. On the Intel Committee. Said it on camera. US Senator and combat veteran @CaptMarkKelly, in an exclusive interview, says Putin didn't just benefit from Trump's deference — he exploited it. And Ukraine is paying the price. "Putin has played Donald Trump in a way that has clearly benefited Putin and put the Ukrainians at further risk." This is a member of the Armed Services and Intel Committee. Not a pundit. Not an op-ed. That's not incompetence. That's a pattern. Full interview in first comment ↓ | Extended cut for X subscribers @SenMarkKelly

The bigger your con, the bigger your lies have to be.
Elon Musk says humans will soon have cybernetic chip implants that will enable "God-like powers" describing the chips as creating "Jesus-level miracles."

"How do you even keep your mental health together?" "I don't. I lost it a long time ago. Ever since three of my closest friends and my boyfriend were killed. I was the one who recovered his body from the evacuation point." Ukrainian Defender "Kit" ("Cat") from the Magura Brigade joined the military at the age of 24. Over four years of service, she has fought in some of the war's hottest sectors, including the defense of Donetsk region, the counteroffensive in Zaporizhzhia region, and the Kursk operation. Kit's boyfriend died defending Ukraine in Donetsk region while carrying out a combat mission. "One evening, he brought me the wounded and the fallen from the positions, and the very next evening, he was the one being recovered..." Today, Kit is defending the Sumy region. 📹: Hromadske Radio
