โ€žFrom a military and medical perspective, it would be unwise to dismiss the evidence for directed energy. And it is morally wrong to dismiss the symptoms and suffering of those who have experienced Havana syndromeโ€.

1/12 (antivaxxers, read the entire thread or get ignored/blocked)

This bit of theater from Sen Ron Johnson has been floating around this week.

He is lying. He used made-up numbers and mischaracterized VAERS)

I'll break it down with source links.
2/12

He holds up this sheet with a bunch of made-up numbers. None of these numbers are in VAERS. They are entirely made-up. Image
3/12

His claim: 1,665,735 adverse event reports in VAERS.

Total reports in associated with the COVID-19 vaccine, as of TODAY, 12/12/25: 1,010,137.

He exaggerated by at least 655,598.

โ€žThe U.S. has suggested creating a ยปfree economic zoneยซ in parts of the eastern Donbas region from which Ukraine would withdraw under a negotiated peace with Russia, Ukrainian President Volodymyr @ZelenskyyUa said Thurs.
@ralakbar @michaeldweiss @ZelenskyyUa 2).
โ€“ ยปIf some troops have to leave and other troops remain where they are, what exactly will prevent these other troops โ€” i.e. Russian troops โ€” from going further?
@ralakbar @michaeldweiss @ZelenskyyUa 3).
Or from infiltrating the โ€˜free economic zoneโ€™ under the guise of โ€˜civiliansโ€™ and taking control of it? This is all very seriousยซ โ€“ he said.โ€

I beg to differโ€”consciousness is still very much an enigma.

While there are many theories about what causes consciousness, what David Chalmers termed the "hard problem of consciousness" (i.e., why physical processes in the brain are accompanied by subjective conscious experience) still remains unsolved.

Here's Swami Sarvapriyฤnanda explaining verses 2.13 and 2.22 from the Bhagavad-gฤซtฤ, where he also speaks about the hard problem of consciousness.

"The reason we think that the death of the body means the end of consciousness is because we have this materialistic idea that the brain produces consciousness, but does it really? Or is it that consciousness uses the brain?"

See the thread below for more details about how the hard problem of consciousness still hasn't been solved.
Although I already knew the answer, I thought I'd ask Grok anyway, just to get more details.

Would it be correct to say that the hard problem of consciousness still remains unsolved?

Here's Grok's reply:

Since the SeditiousHunters were so kind to share my sentencing recommendations from the prosecution, I've had an opportunity to peruse my many dastardly crimes from the perspective of my prosecutors.

Let's get the worst part out of the way first. Here are the photographs of my "assault." Clearly, worth half a decade in prison. Image
This image purporting to show me swatting an officer's hand is actually me falling on my ass because I'm choking on pepper spray. The video from the officer's angle makes it much more clear. I never made contact with the officer's hand. Image

If you think Russiaโ€™s nuclear weapons are constrained by procedure, you are dangerously wrong.

There is no "Red Button." There is just one man, and a room full of people too afraid to stop him

๐Ÿงต[Read on โ€” 1/18]
Russiaโ€™s nuclear weapons are not guarded by institutions or checks and balances. They are carried, quite literally, by a handful of officers whose sole job is to obey one man. So, what is Service K?

[2/18] Image
These officers are the people who physically carry and operate Russiaโ€™s nuclear command-and-control terminals (โ€œChegetโ€ briefcases) alongside the president, the defense minister, and the chief of the General Staff

Aspirin was recently shown to reduce liver fat by nearly 40% in a recent landmark study.

(๐Ÿงต1/7)Image
Image
This study was published early last year in JAMA.

They examined the response of people with fatty liver disease (now called "metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis") to aspirin.

They took a baby aspirin (81 mg) daily. Image
People were randomized to either aspirin or placebo.

This type of study design minimizes confounding factors and allows us to see true effects of aspirin on its own.

71 people made it to the end of the trial (6 months). Image

New in @NEJM: Pfizer's mRNA flu vaccine beat the standard flu shot in a phase 3 trial. 34.5% better. Statistically superior, not just noninferior.

The timing is brutal. ๐Ÿงต
nejm.org/doi/full/10.10โ€ฆ
2/ 18,000 adults, head-to-head against Fluzone. The mRNA vaccine reduced lab-confirmed flu by a third. If Fluzone was running around 50% effectiveness that season, the mRNA vaccine was likely in the 60-67% range.

That's exceptional for flu.
3/ The advantage was clearest against H3N2, our most difficult target.
Traditional vaccines underperform against H3N2 because egg-based manufacturing introduces mutations. mRNA bypasses eggs entirely, avoiding the adaptive mutations that kneecap H3N2 vaccines.

1/ Ukraine's recent reversal of Russian gains in Kupyansk โ€“ celebrated here by President Zelenskyy โ€“ย highlights months of false claims of victory by General Valery Gerasimov. Russian warbloggers have for months been warning that such claims are false. โฌ‡๏ธ
2/ The Russians have been fighting their way into Kupyansk since July 2025, making very slow (and now reportedly reversed) advances into the city from the north.
3/ This has been accompanied by a steady drumbeat of exaggerated claims from the Russian military, including to Putin's face. Kupyansk is a large-scale example of the Russian practice of "taking on credit", or faking successes for medals and bonuses.

What a new Nature Immunology study shows about long COVID?
Long COVID is not post-infectious fatigue.
A new study shows that it is a clearly defined biological state =
chronic immune activation, T-cell exhaustion, and metabolic disruption๐Ÿงต
The study analyzed 142 individuals, including 28 patients with long COVID.
Compared with recovered controls, people with long COVID showed persistent activation of inflammatory pathways lasting more than 180 days after infection.
These pathways include IL-6, IFN-ฮณ, JAKโ€“STAT signaling, complement activation, and coagulation pathways.
This pattern does not look like recovery.
It looks like an immune system that remains stuck in an activated state.

That said, if youโ€™re denying that youโ€™re NOT the Ann Marie heโ€™s referring to, then weโ€™re having a much different conversation. So are you denying that?
