New HVAC System And Other Stuff

why were they spending so much money on these changes:

you have to understand the public health context of 1994: we are still at the height of the #AIDS #pandemic but, after 12 years of fascist antigay policy from Reagan and Bush, 1994 felt like a pivot towards destigmatizing the disease.

so some genius at CP thought it would be great for the company to pivot to “antimicrobial all the things!”

not because soap and water weren't enough…

not because it would stop the spread of AIDS but… 🧵

COVID PPE failures left healthcare workers and patients at risk – what lessons the government needs to learn for the future

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 📝📊 The #SAT was first administered to 8,000 students in June 1926, born from #WorldWarI #military I.Q. tests designed by #Princeton psychologist and eugenicist Carl Brigham.

Now taken by two million #students annually, fewer than 10% of U.S. #colleges require it for fall 2026 admissions, a shift accelerated by the #Covid #pandemic and long standing debates about what the test actually measures. The article traces the test’s #evolution from a tool that helped break into the old boys’ network of elite colleges to an #exam whose scores strongly correlate with family #income.

#TheLever is definetly a great media and its podcasts are both radical and unbiased (yes, it is possible).

Listening to the latest podcast of Augut 11th 2025, I discovered a movie from #AriAster, #Eddington

"You might recognize director Ari Aster from his groundbreaking horror films like Hereditary and Midsommar.

But Aster just dropped the scariest film of his career: Eddington, a dark COVID-19 comedy starring #JoaquinPhoenix, #PedroPascal, and #EmmaStone, about social media-driven polarization, gun violence, and the looming tech takeover.

Today on Lever Time, David Sirota speaks with Aster about the inspiration behind his all-too-prescient film.

Did the coronavirus pandemic break our brains, leaving our communities with no commonly accepted set of facts?
How do we navigate today’s AI slop-driven informational hellscape?
And is it possible to avoid the twisted fate of Eddington, Aster’s fictional New Mexico town?"

Listen to the podcast, it's 35 minutes of intelligent interview and thoughtful answers.

And, oh, go and see the movie, I definitely will, I will be the first time in ages I'll pay for a ticket rather than qBit it.

The War on #Masks Has Taken on a New Meaning

This time, the masks have nothing to do with #COVID19.

By Henry Grabar
Feb 05, 20254:57 PM

"Last month, state legislators in New York introduced a bill that would create a new crime: 'masked harassment.'

"That, the law explains, is when you wear a mask 'for the primary purpose of menacing or threatening violence against another person' or 'placing another person or group of persons in reasonable fear for their physical safety.'

"If that seems like a bit of a niche offense—threatening violence is already a crime, after all—it’s because the language has been watered down to attract political support. It’s a sign of New York Democrats’ cautious new approach over masks in public life, and a retreat from last spring, when anti-Israel protests, on top of a widespread urban crime panic, pushed leaders from New York Gov. Kathy Hochul to Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass to consider mask bans.

"In its original form, the New York bill would have banned masks at public assemblies entirely. But the outcry from #DisabilityRights advocates, #CriminalJustice reformers, #HealthCareWorkers, and #CivilLiberties groups was swift, and so New York wound up with this bill on 'masked harassment' instead.

"Elsewhere, the pandemic-era leniency on masking in public is over. #NorthCarolina Republicans overrode a gubernatorial veto last summer to once again #BanPublicFaceCoverings, except to stop the spread of contagious diseases. Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost dusted off an old law to threaten #StudentProtesters with #felonies. Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has asked the state’s Senate to consider a bill to #unmask #protesters this year.

"For Republicans, it’s a chance to kill two birds with one stone. They can strike back against the perceived overreach of pandemic-era #HealthDirectives and make it easier to arrest #demonstrators at the same time.

"In #Ohio and North Carolina, the original statutes were written in the 1950s to stop demonstrations by the #KuKluxKlan, but had been ignored or suspended during the #pandemic and the #GeorgeFloydProtests. Many lawmakers have cited the recent demonstrations in defense of #Gaza as a reason to crack down again. Defending the proposed mask ban in New York, Anti-Defamation League [#ADL] president Jonathan Greenblatt said the demonstrators were using '#KKK tactics' to intimidate Jewish New Yorkers.

"That instinct was bolstered by the sense among many city residents and elected leaders that widespread masking was a factor behind the pandemic-era crime spike. That led to #Philadelphia banning #SkiMasks in parks, on trains, and in public buildings. A more recent, high-profile example came in December with the Midtown Manhattan killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO #BrianThompson by a #MaskedAssassin, which prompted New York Mayor Eric Adams to call for cab drivers and business owners to ask customers to remove their masks. The new New York bill has won over the liberal Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who endorsed the 'tailored' approach. As the police say: #NoFaceNoCase.

"For what it’s worth, there are too many confounding variables and too little data to be sure if mask-wearing is associated with crime, said Ernesto Lopez at the Council for Criminal Justice, which collects crime reporting statistics from various cities. 'From a theoretical statement it makes sense that could occur, but it has not been demonstrated that’s the case,' he told me.

"But if all that weighed in favor of more mask bans, there was also widespread resistance. Disability advocates mobilized to defend the right to mask; North Carolina had to write a medical exemption into their bill at the insistence of a GOP House member. #PoliceReformers observed that #MaskBans have often been used for pretextual #policing and racial profiling against #BlackAmericans. (#AtlantaGeorgia tabled a mask ban for that reason.)

"What looms largest, as the second Trump administration begins, is the role of protest. As Semafor’s Dave Weigel has noted, masks have become a badge of left-wing protest culture. That’s in part an extension of politicized COVID-era concerns about health and civility, but at this point it is mostly a tactic to preserve anonymity in an era of #FacialRecognition, streaming video, and #doxing. Last year, the anonymous #ProIsrael website the #CanaryMission posted photographs of hundreds of students and faculty at campus protests and posted their names and photos online, labeling some as supporters of terrorism.

"'The concern takes on new urgency as Donald Trump pledges to revoke the visas of pro-Palestine protesters, and the Trump-Musk GOP embraces the naming and shaming of otherwise private citizens. A conservative group called the American Accountability Foundation has begun circulating lists of federal workers, many of them Black, who should be
'targets' for their alleged involvement in #DEI initiatives at work.

"Clearly, the masked protest does not always sit well with an older generation, many of whom cut their teeth in the protests of the pre-internet age. As Georgetown professor Michael Kazin told the New York Times last year: 'I do think if you are going to demonstrate, and it’s something you feel deeply about, you should be willing to stand up and be counted.'"

During the pandemic I became unable to listen to podcasts, watch television series and watch films. Each of these media reminded me of how dreadfully my existence had become during the pandemic. Instead of watching films and television series I listened to tech podcasts and watched people play computer games. The reason for this was simple. It didn't remind me of my loneliness so it was bearable.

I was watching people play GTA V and a few other games, before eventually losing interest and watching other content. It's only when I started to do group activities with people in the physical world, as I like to call it, that I got the ability to watch films and television series again. Now that life is "normal" again I am not reminded of what is impossible anymore. I am reminded of what I aspire to, once again.

It's nice to have resumed watching films and television series, in the evenings, before bed. It's nice to have made it through the tunnel of pandemic solitude and re-emerged on the other side. I am still not back to normal. I still mask if I'm in a crowded space, or too close to others, but other than that doing group activities has become normal again.

In recent weeks I did the Charmey VF, hiked the Areuse, hiked the Orbe, went to Leukerbad for the VF and hike, and more activities. I am no longer doing solitary hikes within walking distance of home. Even cycling increased once again.

I could be specific about the films I am watching but the post is about once again consuming mainstream films and television series rather than watching YouTube content that did not remind me of the solitude I was trying to cope with. The next step will be to get back into the habit of doing things indoors, despite places being crowded.
