DOGE's "cuts have cast uncertainty over the rollout of a newly developed injectable that scientists have hailed as 'the closest thing to a vaccine that we have ever had in HIV response.'" "It's nearly 100% effective at stopping new infections." #USA #Healthcare

We were hoping that this letter to @bsky.app could first be shared by a Gazan, but we were too worried that doing so would get their account deleted so we are sharing first. You can sign on to the letter about the unfair treatment of Gazans on Bluesky here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

this is a bad article—for one, CEOs of private services, cops, church reps, and condo owners are inappropriately the only sources—and when it veers into interpretation it leaves out important histories of exclusion & conflates a single opioid with wide-ranging social issues bsky.app/profile/theg...

3 months ago, I wrote this about centrist parties aping the far right, and how it's not just immoral, but suicidal. This is not secret knowledge. It's the most reliable effect in world politics. It's watching 40 guys getting killed by the same gorilla, one by one, and stepping up to take your turn.

crap like this "investigation" that refuses to even NAME what's it about, is a perfect reflection of the response to mass death from Canada's comfortable classes (the commentariat, the fake "left", civil society, health professions & our elite): condescending indifference & condolences murderers

Poilievre has spent his entire adult life in politics. It's literally the only thing he's ever done. But him sucking at it is entirely some woman's fault.

Hey, @washingtonpost.com, you keep sending me emails despite the fact that I unsubscribed years ago. This is, fun fact, illegal in Canada. You are breaking Canadian law by sending me emails with no working unsubscribe mechanism.

Yeah, it’s the rent. Retail rent in Toronto has jumped 130% in five years. That’s what’s pushing local businesses out - not wage increases. Businesses need: Transparent leases | Predictable terms | Dispute resolution If you love local - sign and support: commercialrentrights.ca

NEW: Andrew Cuomo is mounting a stunning political comeback despite 12 women accusing him of sexual harassment just 3 years ago. I spoke with several of the women whose claims were substantiated by three investigations. They feel betrayed & forgotten. www.huffpost.com/entry/andrew...

A) Makary is lying. Despite rampant misinformation about COVID vaccines they retain well above 70% public support…far more than this administration can say. B) If people “don’t want COVID boosters” they don’t have to get COVID boosters. Why do these dweebs oppose informed consent & the free market?

there's so much to hate about this, but i need to point out that one of the "benefits" for this job is that you don't have to pay for the equipment you'll use out of your "competitive" $40k salary

Questions for journalists covering Alberta's recovery model: 1) How many ppl are living w/ substance use disorder in Alberta? 2) Of those ppl, how many attended treatment (detox, residential, medication) last year? 3) How many ppl completed treatment (or were retained in care) last year? (1/3)

Vancouver council is debating a giant permanent sign that says "VANCOUVER", and staff say an issue is putting the sign in a place that won't interfere with film shoots. In other words, a giant "VANCOUVER" sign could interfere with vancouver's lucrative business of pretending to be any other city

I admire the people who came forward for this piece, Olivia obviously included. The backlash to Me Too was and is vicious. It's important to push back.

Still working on this documentary about BC's summer of heat dome/fires, that fall's following atmospheric rivers, & how many lives were lost/destroyed. It's all so sad. Folks, keep your photo albums in waterproof plastic containers if you're in potential flood areas. You'll never get those back.

Hey @cityofvancouver.bsky.social is there a plan to build a bike lane on Broadway now that the city has approved dozens of towers along the 10th Ave bike lane which will snarl if not outright block the bike lane? Crucial bike infrastructure is going to get stomped on here.
