It’s #WorldVentil8Day! 🌬️ Clean indoor air is a fundamental pillar of school safety. Effective ventilation drastically reduces the spread of airborne illnesses (flu, RSV, COVID) and is crucial for maintaining healthy Ontario classrooms. #OntEd #SchoolSafety #CollaborateToVentilate

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

🧵Most people have a very poor understanding of source control. Want to help them gain a better grasp of it? Go to work or school or a hospital or any other place you have to be that doesn't have universal masking in place. Then take a shit on the floor. (1/10)

Completely unsurprising. Every single policy position has been the exact equivalent of this craven capitulation.

Why is the 'Living with Long COVID' exhibition so important? Open October 4, 2025 - March 22, 2026 at the Museum of Vancouver, Canada youtube.com/shorts/pPVqo... #longcovid #longhauler @wanderingkayli.bsky.social @rackebt.bsky.social

Circulating on Bluesky are weird posts saying the flotilla activists who were (illegally) detained by Israel couldn't possibly have been abused, that it is all Hamas lies or blood libels or some such In case you have doubts ⬇️

Nobody has Long COVID, but everybody has brain fog, cognitive decline and memory loss. I talk about the overwhelming scientific evidence that COVID damages the brain, and the overwhelming social unwillingness to acknowledge it in my latest: www.thegauntlet.news/p/when-will-...

If a federal judge, appointed by Trump, can call him “simply untethered to facts,” our White House press corps can as well. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

On Sept. 15, Israeli forces fired on a clearly marked MSF water truck delivering 10,000 litres in #Gaza City’s Sheikh Radwan. Destroying infrastructure while making humanitarian aid nearly impossible is not just cruel, it’s illegal.

I presented our work at the national public health conference and the number 1 thing people said to me was “you shouldn’t have to be spending your own money on respirators and tests for the public!” Yeah, we shouldn’t. #nbpoli

Our conservative run neighbour has rapid tests for free. Please take a minute to ask the @susanholtnb.bsky.social government why it is not possible for us to have the same. (That’s it)

Harvest is over. School is in. Illnesses spreading like crazy. We do not have any rapid tests, and we’ve decided we’re not going to be fundraising for more. It’s not fair to you to be funding things like this. (1)

@jessicawildfire.bsky.social: “It’s important to remember that the CDC lost all credibility years ago... We’re talking about an agency that waited until well after the fact to tell the public that a deadly, disabling virus was indeed airborne…”

#Z94.4 The Canadian Aerosol Transmission Coalition put out a statement supporting CSA’s revisions to Z94.4. Over 1,700 individuals and organizations signed on to the statement - including unions representing over 3 million workers in 🇨🇦. www.globenewswire.com/news-release...

This article, by Carleton PhD student Alexander Rudolph, should be on the front page of every Canadian newspaper. It highlights how the US can access all data on the government and military’s Microsoft servers, Canadian laws be damned. www.digitaljournal.com/tech-science...

Calvinball is a good analogy; Calvin always wins because he changes the rules as he sees fit. Thus, there are no rules and the Trump admin has captured the Supreme Court, the US is currently under a weak dictatorship.

This is brilliant. A declassified World War II guide for citizen saboteurs on how to fight fascism is going viral www.404media.co/declassified...

🚨BREAKING: Donald Trump announces he will issue an unconstitutional and illegal executive order purporting to ban mail-in voting and certain voting equipment for the 2026 midterm election. Such an effort would violate the Constitution and is a major step to prevent free and fair elections.

Hi everyone. Very time-sensitive ask here from your friend in NB. Two parts, relating to the CSA standard #Z94.4. The Canadian Aerosol Transmission Coalition has written a statement in support of the revisions to Z94.4. You or your organization are welcome to sign on in support, deadline tom. /1

In authoritarian crackdowns, it’s important to randomly ensnare some people whom one would think would be safe, so that everyone is at least a little bit afraid that something could happen to them. The regime scales up its power of intimidation over a much larger group than those directly affected.

The woman petitioning SCOTUS to overturn marriage equality in the name of the sanctity of marriage is on her fourth husband.

Each day, they could just discuss the details of one (1) former Republican who was arrested for sex trafficking, pedophilia, or some related scandal. If they're going to shut down Congress for this, fill the silence with these news stories. Make it unavoidable.

We aren't buying U.S. products, we aren't supporting U.S. concentration camps with our tourism dollars, so why are we allowing a fascist-aligned propagandist to perform in Canada? This guy needs to be turned away at the border.

COVID has also been associated with Parkinson’s. “COVID’s unknown future consequences… A growing body of evidence [suggests] that COVID may affect human health long after the initial infection—in ways that aren’t associated with stereotypical long COVID, and that aren’t yet well understood.”

Once again, viruses are implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases.

I will consistently stand up for children. I am childless, & it’s the least I can do to contribute to the next generation. Whether it be babies in Palestine or victims of Epstein I will say the same thing: hold people accountable & protect children. If that’s a problem for you, that’s a you problem.

"Canada cannot build economic recovery on the backs of Indigenous Nations without our consent, our participation, and our laws being respected." B.C. and Canada have broken their own United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People (UNDRIP) laws. #cdnpoli #canpoli

The vice president, his wife, Usha, and their three children are expected to explore London in mid-August, rent a cottage in the celeb-favorite Cotswolds, and then travel to Scotland.

The #Canadian government must end their complicity in this genocide and mass murder of innocent people! @terrybeech.bsky.social @mark-carney.bsky.social #IDF and #Netanyahu are terrorists & must be stopped!! #cdnpoli

ICYMI-- I did. A study of software developers found it took them 19% more time to do their work when they used AI tools. At the same time, they *perceived* they had saved time. They thought they would work faster and so they falsely "believed AI had sped them up by 20%."

This is one of the reasons why many good people do not go into politics. We should never normalize and accept harassment and death threats against politicians. globalnews.ca/news/1129452...

Autocratic populism produces poverty and decline

We are doing this. Our governments. Our taxes. Our arms sales. This is our Holocaust. Our Cambodian killing fields. Our Balkans. Our Rwandan genocide. We are doing this and history will never forgive us. Gaza:

“Prenatal SARS-COV-2 infection in pregnant women is linked to developmental delays in toddlers, with cytokine and chemokine changes associated with neurodevelopmental outcomes at 24 months.“ www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Launching explody rockets in a vain attempt to be the first man on Mars and in the process decimating enormously rich biomes on the only known habitable planet in the universe is the worst kind of contemptuously dumb supervillainism.

"but defunding public media will devastate rural communities the worst." That's entirely the point. They want to eliminate any and all media that contradicts the authoritarian narrative. They want a loyal captive base that doesn't question anything and this accomplishes that.

I’ve recovered from long COVID to the point now that I am not even taking any supplements anymore except for stinging nettle, lysine and CoQ10, and I don’t even take them every day. I was taking like 50 different ones to get to this point

Gender affirming care for cis folks gets celebrated.

"There are no red lines anymore ... It is scary… It might block me from moving around. It will have a chilling effect on people normally engaging with me." Francesca Albanese on the sanctions that have been placed on her by the US. www.reuters.com/world/middle...

Come visit PoP NB and me at the Fredericton Pride Festival in Officer’s Square from 2-9 today! We have lots of goodies, info, free tests and masks and will be putting together DIY air cleaners later on in the afternoon for our lending library 🩵

If this goes through, say goodbte to Wired, Teen Vogue, Ars Technica, The New Yorker, Them, and Vanity Fair as you know them currently. They'll be gutted and reoriented towards oligarch friendly propaganda.
