I'll post some quotes in the replies.

We got some key things wrong about long COVID. Here are 5 things we've learnt

Three years into the pandemic, it’s now clear we got some things wrong about long COVID early on.

A report from the BBC website, about the Horniman Museum in South East London, returning looted artefacts.

Benin Bronzes: Nigeria hails 'great day' as London museum signs over looted objects

Nigeria's official for museums calls it a "great day" as the Horniman signs over looted objects.

Okay what's the consensus on far uv personal-sized devices such as these:

@BlackAzizAnansi one of the interesting results of Mastodon is going to be the lack of “virality” which has helped bring light and community to utterly horrific behaviour from cops.
By giving minorities a voice by showing the video it has helped shine light on racism.
I’m not sure how to fix it but everyone who isn’t a minority stops being an asshole and start listening would be a good start.
Teen who was set for their booster was just exposed - at least a minute of big maskless gulps of air in a huge crowd. I'm dying.
Advice, go ahead with the booster anyway, praying that the exposure does not lead to an infection, or that the boost will help not harm, or wait for a confirmation that there is no infection? I have 14 hours to figure this out.

Disney is now age-restricting The Owl House and other shows depicting LGBTQ themes. The shows are hidden in "Junior Mode," which is activated by default for children.

They're quietly adopting the idea that non-heteronormative content is somehow harmful to children.

“So my son was upset "The Owl House" was suddenly removed from his disney plus. I was worried that this was anti-LGBT enforcement, but it appears Disney has forced a new "junior mode" that eliminates many kids shows. Go and un-toggle junior mode on your computer to get it back.”

What's the better booster now? BA1/4 or 4/5?
Why is it a full time job to figure this out?

@ltsequelae I've seen that CDC is wanting people over 5 to get a booster if it has been 2 months since your last booster, since they updated the omicron vaccine to be more effective. It also says you can delay your booster to up to 3 months after symptoms showed up if you recently had Covid.

In case I'm wording this wrong, or accidentally giving misinformation, here's the page (last updated Dec 9, 2022) https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/stay-up-to-date.html

@ltsequelae @lisa_iannattone @erictopol I was grappling with the same issue. Ended up going for the flu shot 2 weeks ago thinking at risk due to Covid #ImmunityTheft (3+ months post COVID infection). Had robust rxn (high fever) to Flu shot & was told wait 1 month more for 4th dose. Was hoping for Novavax approval for teens in next few weeks; however, now she’s “mildly” sick with something else 🤦‍♀️
