Mary Greyeyes enlisted to serve Canada during the Second World War. She was promptly used in a staged photo to encourage enlistment. Later, she refused to be a prop and stood up for her people and their voting rights. This is her story. 🧵 1/10

I just want 'ai' to go away. The simultaneous widespread poisoning of knowledge; attempt to end-run professions that cultivate critical thinking; and sucking the joy out of everything while ramming unwanted technology down our throats is so exhausting. I just can't anymore.

I have been studying illness and labour in Alberta for years now. Without a doubt, one of the most common responses to the COVID-19 vaccine is that it doesn't work because you can still be infected after getting vaccinated Health Canada needs to address this immediately and widely.

My mom Michele Landsberg wrote columns for decades - changing countless lives with her powerful prose and sparkling arguments. At 85, goddamn she still has it. Read this piece about her pop-up feminist protest against genocide. Mom, you’re my hero. archive.is/vc8me

Since 1988, polio vaccination is estimated to have prevented 20 million cases of paralysis and saved 1.5 million lives. Global deaths associated with the oral polio vaccine is in the dozens. Nothing is without risk. But the risk-to-benefit ratio on this one is damned clear. RFK Jr is a menace.

This is worth 3 minutes of your time. No one wants to eat at a restaurant that only serves bland chicken. (It’s not about chicken, or restaurants, tho)

It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.

Infants can literally just stop breathing and die with no warning from “whooping cough” (pertussis) infection. They do not necessarily even get the infamous cough that older children and adults get (and can be severe enough to break ribs). Do not let unvaccinated people around your newborns (or you)

The Iraq playbook is back & the media won’t question it. Iran has no nuclear weapons. Israel — on trial for genocide — does. Iran signed the NPT & allows IAEA inspections. Israel hasn’t — & its leaders face ICC arrest warrants. Beware of politicians beating the drums of war.

This is all good stuff... But I'm not sure about the "world-leading fusion energy" statement. We already have nuclear fusion energy delivered relentlessly to Earth as sunlight. All we have to do is collect it. Nuclear fusion belongs in stars. www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/stat...

"The present study demonstrated that a single bout of sub-maximal exercise led to a reduction in oxygen pulse and oxygen consumption, indicating a potential impairment in cardiac and peripheral skeletal muscle function." Maybe recommending prevention with N95s was the way to go.

Sending love to all of the Dads… with extra love going to Dads who have lost a child, people who have lost their Dad, people who have a strained or non-existent relationship with their Dad, and those who always wanted to be a Dad but have never had the chance. I see you.

ON TOP of the ethical reasons to not use AI, it's also 1) bad at what it does 2) literally makes you stupider 3) has HUGE environmental costs: every search is equivalent to pouring out an entire bottle of water. It's not worth it to generate a cutesy emoji or have it write an error-riddled draft.

Just adding to the evidence… Here’s confirmation that SARS is on VCH’s “diseases to report” list when it comes to “schools, care centres & community.” Either known or suspected cases. Like pertussis & all the other serious diseases on this list #bced: www.vch.ca/en/diseases-...
