"France passed a single law and instantly unlocked 11 gigawatts of #solarenergy — without using new land. In 2023, France's government mandated solar canopies over all car parks larger than 80 spaces. The scale was enormous: There are 400,000 parking areas across France #ActOnClimate #Renewables

My Toronto Star Op-Ed last week pointed the finger at physician thinking & physician culture to explain why they just won't let go of certain beliefs even when drowning in evidence to the contrary. Today the Globe and Mail provided a tragically shining example, quoting Dr. Srinivan Murthy ... 1/10

(Perth, Western Australia) "Help us understand how muscles work in Long COVID" The latest Emerge Australia email bulletin includes this so they are obviously struggling to reach their recruitment target as they have been advertising it since at least January 2025 #LongCovid

A bispecific monoclonal antibody. Remarkable.

This is direct result of sars2 infection. There is also a slow process in the background, or better said, in the very core of your cells and in the very core of your body: mitochondria and bone marrow. People are slowly losing white blood cells, all over the globe.

I’m not a doctor, but I have life experience that should qualify me for an honorary Ph.D. in poo and make me the Valedictorian of Vomit. I'm a mom. No public health official can convince me that poo and vomit don’t travel through the air. They should come clean my ceiling. #ebola #covid #airborne

In case you’re wondering how things are over on Xitter, I’ve just had someone insist that dengue is mild, and that Ebola doesn’t transmit asymptotically. OK… but I’m gonna keep washing my hands, wearing a mask, and using insect repellent. Y’all do y’all.

I still don't want Covid. Or hantavirus. Or Ebola. 😷

I’m vexed. My mom and sister are coming in two weeks. Sister went to the clinic and said she wanted a COVID shot because 1. I am clinically vulnerable and 2. She’s traveling; that’s just what people should be doing! The nurse told her “it’s not COVID season.” 1. Yes it is 2. There is no “season”

My spreadsheet of studies on #COVID19's longer-term impacts has reached 3,500. Recent additions: - COVID may accelerate glioma tumor progression. - COVID associated with a higher risk of diabetes. - COVID can cause white matter alterations in the brain. 1/1 docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Often these days, I look out onto the world and the only commentary I can muster is “Ew.”

🇨🇦I must admit, any sentimental "Oh, let's save it for historical value and fix it up" thoughts I previously held about 24 Sussex and it's rodent residents are quickly vanishing. Rodents and their poo have a lot of historical death and disease to answer for.

This man, Premier Wab Kinew, is the helper we are all looking for.✊ He gives me hope for humanity in my darkest hours. Miigwech Giinawaa 🪶

sometimes when painting i make a mark perfect stroke but i know it won't last through overpainting so just put it out of my misery and smear it in to the color i'm trying to make would AI feel that? i'm an artist and always have been it comes and goes as an activity i do always trying

🇺🇸🇨🇦 OK, I know nobody there was wearing a mask and they should have been because #Covid isn't over, but still, this warmed my heart. Thank you American neighbours/neighbors! www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

@rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social It’s been several weeks since the @ukcovid-19inquiry.bsky.social stated that ‘Covid is airborne’ and yet Labour cut 13 million vaccines to many I know who shielded, when France offers to all, because everyone is at risk from long covid. A nurse offered a FRSM mask 🧵

🇺🇸So did they at least donate the food from last night that wasn’t consumed to some local soup kitchens? I sincerely hope so.

NEWS: Bette Midler just released a new music video for her remake of "All You Fascists Bound to Lose"—featuring Barbara Hershey, other celebrities, and crowds from the No Kings protests in a joyful, powerful show of resistance. You have to see this.

Trying to pinch pennies and not waste anything has led me to implore you all to help solve this problem today: How do you get the last half scoop of coffee past the lip of the can without spilling it everywhere?

Apparently the upcoming Oval Office Bible reading will feature a popular verse that mentions people HUMBLING themselves as a prerequisite to God hearing their prayers. Oh Donald... you'd better read that several times.

Mehdi Hasan: “Prominent right-wing conservative Christians are saying this is blasphemy — why would he post this? And it's like it took you 11 yrs to work out what the rest of us realized on day 1 — that he’s the most unchristian, anti-religious, amoral, immoral man to ever run for the presidency”

I have lots of unmarketable skills. Today’s highlighted skill is waste basket basketball. I am a champion. And of course all the recruiters and coaches are competing to sign me.

🇨🇦My husband is outside right now shovelling snow and chipping ice off the walkway. Wearing shorts. I love this immigrant who has truly become #Canadian.

I think I'm gonna go binge watch the entire series of "Touched by an Angel." Because... just because. The world is very, very messed up, and I need a LOT of feel good hope of divine intervention.

It's important to know if it's a true allergy bc it means we receive Abx that aren't as effective, have side effects & promote AMR. "While approximately 10% of people globally have a penicillin allergy label, previous research suggests that less than 5% of those with the label are truly allergic."

And we still think teachers should be paid slave wages.
