Great example of bad science policy communication 👇🏽 This post does not communicate that they don’t propose cuts to the Artemis program. In fact it proposes an increase to their budget. The cut is to the science programs: the curiosity and saving planet earth programs. 🔭🧪 #scicomm

They did a tour of Whyte Ave today and they were the only cars honking. Nobody joined in. I hope they know they're failing.

a friend recently shared this with me and i'm obsessed — it's an MTV/VH1 simulator with almost 30,000 videos (organized by decade) along with special sections for things like 120 Minutes, Unplugged, Yo! MTV Raps, and Pop-Up Video (!!!) wantmymtv.vercel.app

Chai Tea is a handsome fellow! I’m familiar with the vocalization of the Oriental shorthair, one of ours starts calling out to me while I’m doing my morning yoga. Sibyl has no respect for the downward dog!

I don’t blame Maxwell, yogurt in the morning is always a treat!

One of our #OrientalShorthairCats insists upon a spoonful of organic Greek yogurt every morning also! The yowling as she waits for me is outrageous. I’ve taught her to sit on command, a small price she must pay for breakfast service.

Your cat is my cat's doppelganger.

Since the toilets on Orion are a continuing topic of fascination, here's a thread about space toilets. It's not just about function - toilets are symbolic and social too, and raise issues of privacy and intimacy. This image shows how to use the Apollo Fecal Containment Device. #ArtemisII 🧪

I have been laughed at, spat at for wearing an ffp2 respirator. There have even been tv dramas portraying us as anxious. I have known vulnerable parents who have even gone to court over Covid is airborne. Yet when the Covid inquiry finds us correct, the media stays quiet.

We are seven months away from the most consequential midterm election in US history. Meanwhile, we are fighting a war. These are the structural conditions for a coup attempt in which a president tries to nullify elections and take permanent power as a dictator. snyder.substack.com/p/the-next-c...

If you ever meet an Air Force PJ, buy them a drink. They’re some of the bravest MFs you’ll ever meet. They’ve been at this all day trying to find the WSO, despite taking fire every time they go out. “These Things We Do, That Others May Live”

This shit boils my blood.

I still don't understand how OH&S in hospitals was and continues to be overridden and outright ignored when it comes to airborne hazards.

Similar experts doing crazy stuff? bsky.app/profile/cidr...

"It’s difficult to know why the word “airborne” is avoided so consistently, but the impact is clear: without that word, occupational health and safety requirements can be evaded." #Covid #WorkerSafety #HealthAndSafety

This quote answers its own question: reason “airborne” is avoided since Covid is to evade accountability. If workplaces acknowledged Covid—& others like meningitis that WHO took down its webpage listing it’s transmitted by aerosols=airborne—then they’d have to provide clean air, paid sick days etc💰💰

"It’s a bracing scene, and it also illuminates some of the realities of the world ICE is helping to create." Television is now dealing with it:

Trying to ensure an upcoming mask-impossible procedure will be safe and it's a damn nightmare, yeah.

Excellent article from @jvipondmd.bsky.social @dickzoutman.bsky.social @smbilodeau.bsky.social thetyee.ca/Analysis/202... The nearly total absence of OH&S regulation in health care facilities meant respiratory protection required anywhere else was not available.

So it's clear that BA.3.2 preferentially infects children, something we have never seen before in a SARS-CoV-2 variant. Why? The question's baffled me, but after a suggestion from @darrenmartin.bsky.social, I think I have an explanation that makes sense. 1/16

And predictably there’s a ton of adverse attention focused on the controller. Who made a mistake, and caught it almost immediately. But the truck didn’t stop. Also now know the fire truck didn’t have an ID transponder for the ground radar system. And there was a long line of vehicles…

Astute commentary on the Jazz 8646 crash at Laguardia. The rate of near misses has been climbing in the US, been heading to an accident. And important to avoid the simple blame game - failures like this are not mere human error. deanblundell.substack.com/p/breaking-d...

I was just reminded of this list...

I'm no expert, but this accident sounded like it was clearly caused by the controller's direction. He was trying to attend to another incident, & missed the AC's landing. Short staff in the Control Tower is the issue. I know who I blame! #LaGuardia #AirCanada #uspoli www.cp24.com/news/canada/...

Aircraft on landing rollout don’t have many options to avoid collision. It’s the reason for positive control over ground vehicles on the airfield.

"half of the days" is some dystopian shit.

This is egregious.

We need to be filing complaints about this shit. At minimum there is a paper trail. This is malpractice .

Hi, so my 6yo needed to go to the after hours clinic for an ear infection & fever (Covid negative on plus life) & they gave me a patient info sheet on viral illnesses and guess what? They are calling Covid a common cold now 🫠

...then everything else is downstream from there. They blew the call on *the single most important part of managing transmission*, and all of the lies since - kids don't get it, N95s don't work, it's not serious now, #longCOVID is rare, kids don't get it - are all about hiding that failure. 🧵:

...well-established aerosol physics that has been in place since 1934. Not only are our public health and infection control leaders literally nearly a century out of date, in a fit of egotism and reflexive turf warfare (also highlighted by the SARS Commission!) they just....refused to learn. And...
