Absolutely LOVE this updated Recurrent Automotive post on EV battery life. Especially the breakdown by generation and brand! Looking for the fastest charging with the best battery life? There's just no one competing Hyundai's EV tech - best all around 🇺🇸 Mrkt www.recurrentauto.com/research/how...

I would say it doesn't stop with them - if this version of the republicans are in power during a pandemic, the world will be in bad shape

open.substack.com/pub/insideme... The TLDR? If Battycharia and Memoli are still in charge when the next #pandemic hits then expect chaos and amateurish unpreparedness.

So there is no real surprise that a MLA in Alberta has been caught on a hot mic calling their constituents MF's & classifying them by who they care about & who they don't. This is exactly where Alberta as a province is. These people really do represent us (on average).

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers have just identified a powerful new antibiotic that is 100x STRONGER than existing drugs against deadly superbugs like MRSA and VRE. Hiding in a well-known soil bacterium, pre-methylenomycin C lactone KILLS drug-resistant bacteria WITHOUT triggering resistance.

Canada has just lost measles elimination status. The U.S. will undoubtedly follow shortly. Elimination means that there is no continuous spreading of measles within the country for a year or longer. Canada and the U.S. have blown it, and it’s largely the fault of the anti-vaccination movement.

On May 27 2025, these 3 MAHA/MAGA dudes took to X to say they were no longer recommending COVID vaccination in pregnancy This was terrible advice: First, pregnancy is a risk factor for severe COVID-19 (discussed at www.acog.org/womens-healt...) 1/2

Antivaxxers own this. Infectious disease minimizers own this. www.cbc.ca/news/health/...

It's official: Canada has lost its measles elimination status because of an outbreak that has persisted for more than 12 months. Country can regain status only if on-going spread is of measles interrupted for more than a year. www.cbc.ca/news/health/... via @cbcnews.ca

Canada loses Measles elimination status, as does the entire Americas region. Clinics here have signs warning about Measles but no masks in healthcare www.statnews.com/2025/11/10/m...

This is a total embarrassment. All because of weak largely right wing governments who cannot or will not uphold proven and effective Public Health policies in the face of anti-vax diarrhea (Disinformation). #VaccinesWork #Vaccines #Measles #FactsMatter #Canada www.cbc.ca/news/health/...

Canada has lost its measles elimination status. A sad day, a win for anti-vaccine ignorance and politicized public health, a new age where children, families, and communities will face additional health risks for no good reason other than the comfort of joining others with similar fact-less beliefs.

More people have died in ICE custody in last 9 months than in the entire prior 4 years. We hear of a few, but most barely make the news. Cases like Randall Alberto Gamboa Esquivel. He was in perfect health when ICE detained him. He disappeared in June & by August was in a vegetative state.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.
