“The real enemy of my people is here. I will not disgrace my religion, my people or myself by becoming a tool to enslave those who are fighting for their own justice, freedom and equality.” —Muhammad Ali
Muhammad Ali was a boxer, philanthropist and social activist who is universally regarded as one of the greatest athletes of the 20th century. Ali became an Olympic gold medalist in 1960 and the world heavyweight boxing champion in 1964.
Muhammad Ali was stripped of his heavyweight title, had his passport revoked, and faced a five-year prison term for refusing to serve in the U.S. Armed Services at the height of the Vietnam War.
Following his suspension for refusing military service, Ali reclaimed the heavyweight title two more times during the 1970s, winning famed bouts against Joe Frazier and George Foreman along the way.
“Religions all have different names, but they all contain the same truths. I think the people of our religion should be tolerant and understand people believe different things.” —Muhammad Ali

OK, so this article is pretty terrifying:
Post-COVID lungs worse than the worst smokers’ lungs, surgeon says
I quote:
She says patients who’ve had COVID-19 symptoms show a severe chest X-ray every time, and those who were asymptomatic show a severe chest X-ray 70% to 80% of the time. “There are still people who say ‘I’m fine. I don’t have any issues,’ and you pull up their chest X-ray and they absolutely have a bad chest X-ray,” she said. In X-ray photos of a normal lung, a smoker’s lung and a COVID-19 lung that Bankhead-Kendall shared with CBS Dallas, the healthy lungs are clean with a lot of black, which is mainly air. In the smoker’s lung, white lines are indicative of scarring and congestion, while the COVID lung is filled with white.
Edit: see @QuillcrestFalconer comment’s below; he’s right that the article may be a tad alarmist.
I remember reading earlier this year that unless people have progressed to the point of emphysema, the lungs are incredibly versatile and able to rejuvenate.
This article was posted on r*ddit and the first comment says this article refers to scans of people currently infected, and that scans taken months after the infection are mostly back to normal
Thanks a lot, you appear to be right. It’s probably more nuanced though - there are research papers appearing on long term effects now, and they usually paint a worrying picture (though usually not for the asymptomatic infections).
When the BLM protests were happening, there was so much information going around about keeping your identity hidden and how to not get tracked with your cell phone and all that. And then the chuds storming the Capital were all streaming and showing their faces and now they’re getting arrested after being tracked down through social media and cell phone records. If anything, it’s a strong reminder to the left to continue to focus on privacy and being as untraceable as possible.
I’m all for green energy but my neighbors solar panels are pissing me off. They’re shining right into my window and blinding me whenever I try to get out of bed.
Typing this from a secure blanket bunker :comfy:
Hehe I did for a while. But I’ve cozeyed out for long enough, time to begin the day 😤
I have the same problem with street lamps. Considering getting a sling shot almost every night, on an unrelated topic.
Ok here’s what I don’t get- if the sunlight is getting harnessed by the photoelectric effect, how come so much visible light is reflected off of solar panels?
We’re in fuckin 1320 motherfucker
You are a serf.
Bitch, you live in Alsace.
You are a peasant. You need to give your fuckin’ lord the grain. Your fucking children, you’ve had 15 children. You’ve never taken a bath. You’ve literally never. washed. your. penis. You’ve never used toilet paper. Motherfucker, you have worms. You are dying. You’ve had 40 children, 3 of them are alive. 2 of them are child soldiers in the Duke’s army.
Bitch, the greatest thing you can hope for is to die at the old age of 36. You fucking can’t read. You don’t know what TV is. If you were transported into today, you would be the worst gamer of all time. You don’t know shit. You literally probably don’t even know what the direction ‘left’ is. I’m sure some Medieval guy is gonna get mad at me for this, bitch I’ve been to the Renaissance Fair. I’ve eaten a large turkey wing, which the Juggalos call ‘bitch beaters’, which I think is problematic but a funny thing to call them.
Motherfucker, you gotta recognize where you are, and then you gotta get past that. You gotta be unemotional. You can’t sink into this hole. You live in the oubliette. Your job is to crawl up the ladder, motherfucker. You live in the HOLE. You’re in the HOLE. You are a RAT. And the rat, when he’s in the hole gets fucked. People only throw trash in the hole.
You need to eat a body. And you need to carry the plague. And you need to carry a plague around this whole world, that will change this whole fuckin world. And all your enemies will vomit black bile and will choke on blood and will grow boils and die. But only if you get together with your other RATS. And you come up with some kind of super plague, to fuckin end your enemies and…
End. This. Nightmare.
I am reading Milton Friedman. This motherfucker is talking about privatizing national parks. I can’t. These are the people that won. Let me out.
