Scientists: Covid is a disease of the blood vessels. The spike protein travels around the body entering all organs including the brain, able to do irreparable and fatal harm. Unlike common cold coronaviruses or flu, the spike protein persists in your body, doing harm. Media: 🤫

Another massive holy cow huge piece of news, so this will probably get about ten likes and disappear into the twitterhole: CDC say this: "the virus that causes COVID-19, can have lasting effects on nearly every organ and organ system of the body weeks, months, and potentially years after infection" How the fuck is this not news everywhere?

Does something like this exist in Davis? If not, it should. And if it does, I wish I knew about it.

One of the big advantages of using a rebreather is the lack of bubbles, which makes it less intrusive and allows us to get closer to the fishes. The shy Spotted Garden Eel (Heteroconger hassi) is very hard to approach, but a little easier with the rebreather. #PerpetualPlanet

If you're just tuning in, 40,000 Americans in Moore County, NC, are without power and many without water today after domestic terrorists coordinated simultaneous attacks on three electrical substations. The reason for this attack was to stop an 18 drag show.
Community note
The claim that the Moore County power grid went out in order to close a drag show is at this point an unsubstantiated rumor based on a social media post. There is no known suspect or motive for this crime as of yet wral.com/moore-county-a…
