So I heard too much of knee-jerk takes about #ivermectin vs. #COVID-19, so I went on the Internet and read something that looks factual: https://www.covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov/therapies/antiviral-therapy/ivermectin/
So:
- It's not just a horse dewormer, it's a legit drug against some tropical diseases.
- There are lab tests showing it inhibiting the replication of the Corona virus.
- There is however no evidence of it helping in real treatments. Probably because the efficient dose would be ~100 times higher than approved for people.

It's only been a few days, but I'm still diggin' elfeed. A big improvement for me over using an app on my phone.
(The phone app was perfectly adequate. It's just that phones are generally terrible for the things I want to do.)

Mastodon FeedJust noticed the "Toyota" on the windows of the building on the right.

Mastodon FeedI love the autumn air.
It's sunny and cool and crisp outside.
Every season has something that I look forward to, and then I can't wait to leave it behind towards the end of the season.

Shouldn't that be en fandom, since "dom" is common gender?
Or are Discord not talking about a devil's judgement?

the best quirk of the activitypub protocol is that you only see posts on people's profiles that your server knows about, so if you click on someone's profile odds are most of what you'll see is just a whistle stop tour of your own best posts that this person has boosted.

Mastodon FeedThe hammers are heavier on the lower keys because they strike bigger and longer operators.
