A new report confirms the immune escape of the BQ.1.1 variant, along with BA.4.6 & BA.2.75.2. The response to a BA.5 breakthrough infection reinforces benefit of the bivalent booster, broadening protection

Meanwhile things at #twitter are totally normal.
RT @ZoeSchiffer@twitter.com
NEW: Twitter just alerted employees that effective immediately, all office buildings are temporarily closed and badge access is suspended. No details given as to why.
We're hearing this is because Elon Musk and his team are terrified employees are going to sabotage the company. Also, they're still trying to figure out which Twitter workers they need to cut access for.

@paul would certainly welcome a nicer app than the official Mastodon one.

Science is a differential equation. Religion is a boundary condition.
Alan Turing
Interesting quote but I would disagree somewhat. Science is *both* a differential equation and a boundary condition. Religion is trying add a new boundary condition which make the differential equation unsolvable.
expected but still bad news.

@chancerydaily is helpfully livetweeting (but not #livetooting?) Elon #Musk testimony from the #Tesla compensation trial, where we get this gem about the Tesla #SEC consent decree.
Let me tell you: every litigation attorney LOVES to get this kind of witness on cross. The kind of guy who's smart enough to think he can outsmart lawyers, but not smart enough to get away with it. There's pretty much always bound to be some damning admissions in such cases.

Ninety percent of all counties in the United States have experienced a weather disaster over the past decade, and these climate-fueled events have caused more than $740 billion in damages, according to a new report from the climate adaptation group Rebuild by Design

This, on the other hand, is hilarious. NPR and the NY Post serve very different functions.
RT @EsotericCD@twitter.com
Holy mother of God, the *actual Post* story is brutal. It has to be seen in the context of the paper to be properly appreciated as the "whatever, boring" NYC brushoff it is. "Post Staff Report" as a byline is the touch designed to personally enrage Trump.

@stevenmazie about what you'd expect. Musk is fine with this of course. Turning twitter into a right wing heaven was why he bought it.

Lovely

Twitter data suggests most of the people buying Twitter Blue are promoting three things: right wing politics, cryptocurrency, and porn. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/11/16/musk-twitter-email-ultimatum-termination/

Here’s the text of the email Musk sent to Twitter staff overnight.
Those who don’t commit to being “extremely hardcore” by 5pm ET today must leave the company. ‼️

@normative this is some way to treat your employees. at least he is leaving a way out for those who want to leave. except for people on visas and/or waiting for green cards. green card process takes years and makes you a slave of your employer in the meantime.
@drvolts 3rd party bid?! it's not going to come to that. GOP base still loves Trump and he'll win the primary. After that who knows.

Canada gets low marks for its efforts to tackle climate change in the new Climate Change Performance Index presented at COP27, scoring 58th out of 63 countries evaluated. But the federal government says they’re starting to make changes to improve the country’s standing
