Opinion | For millions like me with long covid, the pandemic isn’t over – The Washington Post

In 2019, I was in high gear. I had two young children, a busy social life, a book tour and a novel in progress. I spent my days racing between airports, juggling to-do lists and child care. Yes, I felt tired, but I come from a family of high-energy women. I was proud to be keeping the sacred flame of Productivity burning.

Then I got covid.

Twitter/X defends restoring account that shared child abuse material | Twitter | The Guardian

…a rightwing influencer account with over half a million followers shared an image of child abuse material on X, stating it was to draw attention to child exploitation. It garnered more than 3m views and 8,000 retweets before it was taken down and the account was suspended.

Musk claimed only staff on X’s child exploitation team had seen the tweet, said the tweet was deleted and then restored the account after pressure from other rightwing accounts on the platform.

…“There is no excuse, whether you’re posting something through outrage, which to me just is not logical, that your account should not be permanently suspended,” Labor chair senator Helen Polley said. “You can see why we don’t have a lot of faith and trust in what you’re telling us here today.”

Hawaii wildfires burn historic town of Lahaina ‘to the ground’ – BBC News

A handout photo made available by Carter Barto shows an arial view of buildings damaged in Lahaina, Hawaii as a result of a large wildfire which has killed 6 people and forced thousands of evacuations on the island of Maui in Hawaii, USA, 09 August 2023. Winds from Hurricane Dora, which is currently over the Pacific Ocean hundreds of miles south of Hawaii, have intensified the wildfires. There were reports early on Wednesday that some people jumped into the ocean to escape the fast-moving flames. The US Coast Guard said it rescued at least a dozen people from the water.

Maui County Mayor Richard Bissen Jr said in a news conference that many homes and business structures were completely destroyed.

One resident in the town of some 12,000 people told local media that every boat in the town harbour was burning.
