Bangladesh: "A fresh wave of COVID-19 infections is sweeping across Bangladesh, triggered by the fast-spreading Omicron sub-variants JN.1, XFG, and XFC, reigniting public health concerns and prompting calls for renewed vigilance." unb.com.bd/category/Spe...

Does anyone have an accurate count yet on how many dolls Trump got for his birthday?

On the impact of masks in schools during Covid in 2022 "We further estimate that the removal of mandates during this time contributed to 21,800 COVID deaths through the rest of 2022, 9% of the U.S. total that year." www.nber.org/papers/w33849

Hmm, how can I make a #CyberTruck even more hideous šŸ¤”?

Happy Father’s Day to all the great & dedicated Dads out there.

🚨 Rebel News just lost its court battle for official journalism status. The judge found only 10 of 423 posts met the standard for real news. The CRA ruled most were opinion, rewrites, or activist fundraising—not journalism. The ruling makes one thing clear: propaganda isn’t journalism.

Now can we PULease get people to stop saying ā€œfiremanā€ all the damn time? Words matter.

Scientists have studied remote work for 4 years and have reached a clear conclusion: working from home makes us happier www.cmu.fr/en/scientist...

I don’t think you can grasp the power you have until you stand up together in solidarity and declare it. It’s so darn easy to be cynical about protest but it’s so powerful-especially when you are in it-but also when we see you in it. Thank you USns. šŸ‡ØšŸ‡¦ is with you friends. Keep up the good fight.

Important result from CDC research team: H5N1 flu virus from a dairy farm worker transmitted by direct contact in ferrets with 100% efficiency (6/6 animals infected) and by droplets/aerosols in ferrets, physically separated, with 50% efficiency (3/6 animals infected). wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/...

BREAKING: Just reported on local news. The city of Lockhart, Texas has threatened to arrest any protesters displaying ā€œNo Kingsā€ placards. This obviously is illegal and a violation of their First Amendment rights. Welcome to Texas, where the rule of law is for me, not for thee. Disgusting.

U.S. Marines have arrived in Calgary for the G7 summit. The presence on Canadian soil of U.S. Marines (which are also being deployed against civilians in L.A.) is repugnant. #cdnpoli

Ford government used code words to make it 'unduly difficult' to search Greenbelt records: report Political staff were using code words to thwart document requests, says IPC commissioner #Ontario www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

National unity – as conceived by Big Oil – isn’t what we need. As climate fires rage on, national unity is no excuse for more pipeline insanity. #climate #cdnpoli www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Trump ICE regime forces are kidnapping former Afghan translators that risked their lives to help the US. The regime in coordination with corrupt judges is entrapping people. When they show up to hearings the corrupt judges dismiss their cases quickly to allow ICE to snatch the victims. #3E #StopICE

Vocabulary is ā€œfoundational to accurate word recognition. When children have a large reservoir of known words in their oral vocabulary, their brains are better prepared to make connections, resolve ambiguities, and correct decoding errors.ā€ open.substack.com/pub/readwrit...

Good news at last!

So the people in the cars are the vulnerable ones? This apocalypse is sooooo much uglier than I even expected.

Could probably eliminated need for toddler m*sks(as I recall wasn't even happening in Cda?)if prioritized clean AIR indoors, N95s vs 'm*sk', & less disinfo re vaccines. How many infections should we have let kids get/share? SO many ways y'all ACTED like toddlers. Solved 🟄/šŸ”ŗdilemma if anyone needs.

Well, of course. Judging by the June festivities going on in various cities, June statistics will show great reductions in travellers to the USA. www.forbes.com/sites/suzann...

This entire #military report era in #LTC will be wiped from the public record in less than a month, thanks to the Ford Government. You have 24 days left to give your comments on this repugnant regulation: www.regulatoryregistry.gov.on.ca/proposal/50715

No pipelines!! Baby and Mama Belugas and so many others are counting on you @mark-carney.bsky.social

The Trans Mountain pipeline is a financial disaster. Fossil fuels are killing the planet and robbing our futures. If we want our economy and environment to thrive, Canada must invest in wind, solar, geothermal, modern grids, public transit, health, and housing, not pipelines.

ā€œDecarbonized oilā€ is an oxymoron. šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø

My father, who served the public health system in ON loyally for many years, will soon need to enter a longterm care facility. Terrifies the hell out of me anyway but under circumstances we're in with Ford government it is SO much worse. ON why'd we elect Ford again?! Comparison to childcare a joke.

please @mark-carney.bsky.social we expected better than this.
