In case you missed it... Here's the podcast to help explain it.

Replying to @michaelmina_lab
@elonmusk Michael Mina explains all this in much more detail in the This Week in Virology podcast linked to below. Its host, Vincent Racaniello, is described by Wikipedia as having "revolutionized modern virology". bing.com/videos/search?view=…
Imagine celebrating the deaths of a small number of kids so that you don’t have to wear a mask on a plane. What happened to decency?

We cannot ignore the fact that if Brittney Griner wasn’t a Black woman, it would be plastered across the news that she is being held as a political prisoner in Russia. Free Brittney Griner.

As we focus on #BrittneyGriner's well-being & efforts to get her home, you can’t possibly ignore the way Griner’s plight exposes deeper issues about women’s sports. If a top 10 player in the NBA was a political prisoner this would be the biggest story in sports. #CrossConnection

Transmission is best reduced when masking is bidirectional and compliance is high. In other words, “you can wear one if you feel like it” policies are unlikely to be effective; further, it stigmatizes those with medical conditions and sends a clear message: “you’re on your own.”

Years ago, I was chatting with @atsalix about the deficiencies in digital pigment mixing in painting software. Yesterday, my husband sent me a link to the @twominutepapers on @scrtwpns #mixbox and I immediately downloaded the @escapemotions demo of Rebelle 5 Pro & I am AMAZED. 🧵

Kudos to the @escapemotions team for having a true corner on the digital painting market. If anyone knows of anything that can AT ALL compare, let me know. (I'll do more comparisons to @adobefresco and @Procreate if folks ask - but I'm fairly convinced this is the future.

I mean... I know this might not look like much to some - but it's secretly incredibly amazing to me. A quick sketch of Camano Island clouds and water ... escapemotions.com/community/…

Do you want to help fight disinformation? I don't even really like Neil Young's music (not my style) but you can stream it on @amazonmusic and support his fight (and any other artist who joins him) against spotify. #ByeByeSpotify 🧵

Streaming revenue is crazy complicated, but it DOES come down to plays on a device. So why not set your unused echo to play Neil in another room? Just check in on Alexa from time to time to let her know you're still listening (even if you are not.)

I am not as familiar with Tidal's streaming revenue and I left Amazon many years ago - but I wager that it hasn't changed much. TLDN : Stream any artist who leaves Spotify because of Rogan's misinformation on any platform (besides spotify.) #BoycottSpotify

I’m deleting @Spotify. You should too. Vaccine disinformation is not cool. #DeleteSpotify #Spotifydeleted

Spotify is down more than 25% since Joe Rogan ramped up his attacks of the vaccine on their platform… they paid him $100 million for this #SpotifyDeleted
Community note
Spotify stock is down due to the market risk associated with the stock. In general the entire stock market has been experiencing a downturn at the start of 2022 due to a correction and Spotify stock reflects the general trend in the market, not the Joe Rogan controversy. cnbc.com/2022/01/24/the…
