Of one thing, teenage writer Danica Popovic is certain: as powerful as AI may be, it cannot give voice to the complexity of human life. Only human-made art can. After all, pain and uncertainty aren’t problems technology can solve. thewalrus.ca/at-3-a-m-i-turne...

"4.5 million Canadians tuned in to CBC News Network from February 1 through 3, making it the most-watched English-language Canadian news network. When the country was reeling from the threats from US President Trump, who did we turn to? We turned to the CBC - our trusted national broadcaster.

Really cool RA position at @kingsioppn.bsky.social in a unique cannabis/psychosis clinical service: www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DLZ023/r...

Canada needs CBC!!!

A slogan is not a national conversation, and you can't de-fund English CBC and leave Radio-Canada intact and able to function. The infrastructure is integrated, and they're lying to claim that they can do just that. www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/national/cbc...

CDC data’s “explicit purpose” is to guide researchers toward the places and people who most need attention, Patrick Sullivan, a former CDC Epidemic Intelligence Service officer, said. “It’s hard to understand how this benefits health.” www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

This picture breaks my heart and is worth a 1000 words. Bye bye integrity, fairness, compassion, diversity, respect...

“on Thursday the [National Science Foundation]’s online payment system was still down, throwing lives into uncertainty. An NSF email seen by STAT suggested salaries had been suspended to “ensure only eligible activities” are funded.” www.statnews.com/2025/01/30/t...

Just to say it: Diversity is a good thing. Equity is a good thing. Inclusion is a good thing. Accessibility is a good thing.
