I would say about 80% of the time I end up including a publication directly from the US government. Something from the CDC, the VA, AHRQ, MMWR. What’s happening in the US will deeply affect Canadian healthcare, research, policies etc as well. We are losing credible sources of info. 2/2

Once again a reminder that Canada does not have a lot of this infrastructure and relies on the US version for info, etc. And layoffs have been happening in PH in Canada. We don’t have our own NIOSH or MMWR. I spend every day finding health evidence for docs, managers, directors, etc. /1

"why make AI generated videos of ICE beating and kidnapping people when we already have a lot of real ones? you don't need to convince the left it's happening!!" the point is to muddy the waters and give the right ammo to insist ALL the videos are/could be AI if a few of them are. #political

Dismissed and depressed: Survey digs into women’s health in the Maritimes #NovaScotia #NewBrunswick #PEI Jennifer Gillivan, president and CEO of the foundation, said they were hoping to receive around 2,000 responses. They got more than 27,000. /1 thread www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

10% increase in traffic on already congested bridges. If you hate traffic, this has added over 10,000 vehicles per day, vehicles that clogging up the roads. Vehicles that *literally* weren’t willing to pay $1 to make their trip

“A study, published on Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine, showed that last season’s 2024–2025 mRNA COVID vaccines reduced people’s risk of emergency department visits by 29%, their risk of hospitalizations by 39% & their risk of death by 64%” Benefits were seen even if 0 risk factors

If you've been recently sick or vaccinated it's best to wait until it's been 3 months. COVID is airborne.

Sending love to journalist Motasem A Dalloul, on what should have been a celebratory day. US-Israel had killed more than 270 journalists. But, importantly, the colonizer has stolen something important (home, career, loved ones) from each and every journalist in Gaza.

please don’t turn your eyes away from Gaza because israel always goes crazy with the attacks whenever a truce/ceasefire is about to begin

The idea of the IDF using royalty free assets (meant to help artists build out scenes for concept art etc) for genocide is so sickening.

Five and half years since we’ve known covid is transmitted by aerosols and a provicial health authority has released an AI chat bot that disseminates droplet disinformation.

Firefighters: Don't plug your ebike in overnight. Watch it carefully as it charges. Public: *gasp* That's so dangerous. Firefighters: Yes, much like your phone. Public: I... what?

Hot take: I like that phones got added right next to ebike batteries because 1) the technology is basically the same 2) everyone thinks plugging in your phone overnight/without tending to it is completely normal behaviour

Sora 2, Open AI’s new AI video generator, puts a watermark on every video. But the logo meant to help people distinguish between reality and AI-generated bullshit is easy to remove and there are half a dozen websites that will help anyone do it in a few minutes. 🔗 www.404media.co/sora-2-water...

Nova Scotia - a province known for endless rainy days & many bountiful rivers & lakes - is into its 4th month of extreme drought. This is the French River, that provides Tatamagouche with water (or not). Climate crisis kicking in. But: let’s frack and clearcut anyway, says NS Premier Tim Houston.

The thing about "prompt engineering" is that you don't even need AI to do it. Just write the prompt. I can write stegosaurus-with-huge-naturals.jpg and your mind does the rest

Come join us tomorrow, 2pm at the Treaty Truckhouse on the Halifax waterfront for the 2nd annual Justice for Destiny walk. Destiny Toney died at the age of 22 - her death was preventable, the health system failed her, made assumptions about her and left her meningitis untreated for days.

Your ring doorbell is a fascist tool

being trans, being fat, being disabled -- these things will teach you who people are in their heart of hearts, often within seconds of meeting them.

as a neurodivergent & also weird kid school was hell for me, though these days I struggle to remember the names of all the teachers who bullied me. But the three that treated me like a person have never left me. Now more than ever, I hope you all try your best to stay unsquishable!

Hi #bikehfx, I have a favour to ask! Does anyone drive and have a bike rack on their car that would be willing to bring me and my e-bike to vintage iron cycles in burnside? (Or have any advice or recommendations for how I can go about this?)

My rear wheel has some broken spokes and I’m bringing it to upgrade the whole wheel with heavy duty spokes, and I just don’t feel comfortable riding it over the bridge and all the way to burnside in its current state.

Every entertainment outlet should be using this same language about the “performer” computer

I Halifax, when we try and make it safe for kids to get themselves to school we just don't. We slap speed humps on streets (not too steep though) and call it a day.

Anti-corporate rage, female rage, working class rage, the rage of being exploited and ground to paste physically and mentally and being expected to say "thank you" afterwards

Knights of Guinevere pilot kicks incredible amounts of ass because it's not only a beautifully animated cartoon for an adult audience, it's also clearly made with head splitting, blood-in-mouth, screaming fucking rage
