At the end of a recent 800-meter race in Oregon, a high-school runner named Maggie Williams got dizzy, passed out and landed face-first just beyond the finish line. She and her coach blamed her collapse on a deficit of oxygen due to the mask she’d been forced to wear, and state officials responded to the public outcry by easing their requirements for masks during athletic events.
But long before the pandemic began, scientists had repeatedly found that wearing a mask could lead to oxygen deprivation. Why had this risk been ignored?
One reason is that a new breed of censors has been stifling scientific debate about masks on social-media platforms. When Scott Atlas, a member of the Trump White House’s coronavirus task force, questioned the efficacy of masks last year, Twitter removed his tweet. When eminent scientists from Stanford and Harvard recently told Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis that children should not be forced to wear masks, YouTube removed their video discussion from its platform. These acts of censorship were widely denounced, but the social-media science police remain undeterred, as I discovered when I recently wrote about the harms to children from wearing masks.

My proudest accomplishment, to date. :)
It must be something to do with how you have your settings and just a certain group of people can see your page, meaning it’s not all out there for the General Public.
LOL
Kind of goes beyond ironic.
Suckerberg was born May 14, 1984
May is International Workers’ month.
In Russia and other communist countries May Day, May first, is officially called “The Day of Spring and Labor.”
In 1918 May 1 was declared the day of International Solidarity with Workers
May 9th is Victory Day for Russia/Soviet Union over Nazi Germany and when Russia rolls out its might in military parades.
One more bit of irony. There are 32 CCTV cams within 200 meters of a house at 27B Canonbury Square in London where Orwell once lived. There is also a CCTV cam on the corner of Placa de George Orwell in Barcelona.
Last March Suckerberg gave a $4.2 million donation to the Hawaii Community Foundation calling it a “Rise to Work” program to help ease the ire of locals on Kauai where he built his mile long 6ft wall along his compound there blocking access to beaches. The International Workers Union must be proud.
In the novel 1984, Orwell describes an artificial intelligence tool he named the Versificator which produces party approved music and literature without human input. Wouldn’t be surprised if Suckerberg’s Facebook algorithms won’t soon be called Versificators.
Thanks. It’s in the stars? could be. dunno. strange.
Jung talked about archetypes.
