So, ventilation and filtration (building scale - MERV13 in HVAC; room scale - portable HEPA; personal scale - N95s), right? PHAC is leading in acknowledging that ALL respiratory illnesses transmit via aerosols. CMOHs & @ipaccanada.bsky.social need to catch up! www.canada.ca/en/health-ca...

This is devastating for C19 cautious community. Most Sonders offered FAR better control over indoor air & a comfortable ability to eat in worldwide. They also spun the standard hotel concept of two queen beds in a “tunnel” with minifridge/TV on its HEAD. I HARD expect Marriott not innocent here.

🤯 Mtl’s best hotel choice gone. When they say left people “homeless” it is more extreme than typical hotels as these are set up as smart apts & some book extended stays. We stayed MANY times at Sonder & we LOVED it. Far better than any Marriott & met needs perfectly. I’m devastated by the loss.

Please excuse the Harry Potter reference but he is grinning like I imagine Dolores Umbridge did when she was handed the headmaster position at Hogwarts…

This is such an important episode. It explains a lot of experiences we have living in women’s bodies.

After reading Virginia Giuffre’s posthumously released book about her life in the Epstein world, I have realized that Maxwell was even more evil than Epstein. Now she’s on the cusp of freedom. The judicial system has failed every single one of Epstein & Maxwell’s victims. #EpsteinFiles

Would have been cooler to have no more wars.

... but do try to avoid the brand currently in a lawsuit over its chocolate "containing astronomically high levels of lead and cadmium".

What could possibly go wrong? FFS

Hello Ontario!! I was just rowing in gorgeous sunshine on Lake Ontario in Toronto yesterday and this morning we wake up to snow-not enough for tobogganning where I am today, but maybe soon. Not going to lie-I love it-and yet we’ll have to drive in it 😞!

Cue T@#”p blaming Canada for sending cold air South

🙏🏼🙏🏼 get this creep out of politics!!

@mark-carney.bsky.social NO to PIPELINES!!

It’s really important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of ACTUAL EVIDENCE that they’re better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced. Safe bike-lanes mean business.

Have you heard of “The Populist Playbook?” A few years ago, I posted what I still consider one of my most important messages. It was about “The Populist Playbook” that I’ve watched play out often over my 33+ years of city planning. Since then, it’s only gotten worse. Do the steps sound familiar?

If you were looking at a newspaper (or its website) this morning and didn't see this iconic photo, it was an intentional choice to pander.

I thought this Washington Post headline about Elon Musk needed a bit of context.

That's the BMJ. You're a computer engineer. It's a medical journal and the science is clear. Many articles on T cell apoptosis.

www.bmj.com/content/390/... They've played out as I expected

The bmj article which was written by a journalist, quotes the head of the American Association of immunology and several immunologists at UCSF and nih saying that they are seeing population wide effects on immune systems from Covid

The dysregulated immune system in #LongCovid with #MECFS. with sex-specific changes, increased inflammation (as seen by cells, chemokines and cytokines), and disrupted hormone levels www.cell.com/cell-reports...

So much for those trusted, educated individuals trying to tell us COVID is just the flu. They had no clue. They lied.

Amazing to see “empathy” being so explicitly targeted like this. You either have empathy, or you’re a psychopath. We cannot make a society worth having by eliminating empathy.

Pete Hegseth has dismissed or sidelined at least 24 generals and admirals from the U.S. military since his speech threatening to dismiss army officials that don't align themselves with the ideals of the regime, according to the New York Times.

Canada is off track to protect 25% of land & water by 2025 AND 30% by 2030. “Protected & conserved areas are a cornerstone of our efforts to stop biodiversity loss & build climate resilience. There's great urgency for CA to recommit & invest further in our lands & waters.” —@jamessnider.bsky.social

This level of wealth accumulation in the hands of a tiny, tiny elite is an existential threat to democracy and freedom across the world. No one man should have more wealth than a nation. This is despicable. It’s grotesque. It’s an affront to decency. It’s frankly shocking we’ve gotten this bad.

Today the Ford government voted to and debate and skip public hearings on #Bill33. It’s not law yet. Call and email and tell Ford and your MPP to Withdraw Bill 33!! #onted #onpoli

Missed this last month! Bright light in New Mexico! Universal Childcare EVERYWHERE please. Imperative though to treat Childcare Professionals as the professionals they are. Pay fairly for skilled, physically demanding, creative, think-on-your-feet, understand-theory-to-support-choices work it is.

I have read he improved fit and mask type since these photos were taken. Thank you Tom Hanks.

Tom Hanks on Jimmy Kimmel Live discussing masking and COVID. Show here are two pictures of him wearing a mask on the New York subway. He stated he had COVID once and does not need to become sick again.

My full statement on Zohran Mamdani's historic win.

Approximately 9 years ago my son had a perfect attendance score in grade 9 through pure chance & luck. He received an award. Happy to say the award for this at his high school has been cancelled -as it should be. Yes he was a more diligent student than some peers-but ALSO very lucky with his health.

"Children who catch COVID-19 are at risk of contracting dangerous heart inflammation, but don't face the same danger from getting vaccinated against the virus, a new, large-scale study has found." www.9news.com.au/health/covid...

Can’t we just train the chickens to wash their feet & wings? Maybe hanging some of those pathogen-stopping hospital curtains up between the chickens would be helpful.

😭😭😭

BAD news!

Ten years since the Paris Agreement was signed. Let’s review where we are at, a thread 🧵 We breached the 1.5ºC global temperature for the first time in 2024, exceeding the threshold set in 2015 under the Paris Agreement.
