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-...

It took just 15 years to completely transform transportation in China: 🚗 E-cars: 60% (v 1% in 2010) 🚌 E-buses: 95% (1%) 🛵 E-scooters: 99% (30%) 🛺 E-three-wheelers: 99% (40%) 🚄 High-speed rail: 45,000 km (v 6,000 km in 2010) Unprecedented speed & scale — a transport revolution in real time. ⚡ #EVs

Ohhhh, the kinds of green jobs we could have all over #Canada if we weren't talking yet again about dying fossil fuel industries #cdnpoli #bcpoli #abpoli

Stay Weird Portland! 🔥 Today Portland had an emergency naked bike ride to the ICE facility. IN THE RAIN. It was around 50°. Thousands were fully nude, half nude, or wearing costumes. Portland is VERY dedicated to exposing the absurdities of injustice. Here are some photos & videos. 🧵👇🏼

after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US. 𝚂𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚕. 𝚆𝚎 𝚆𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚆𝚒𝚗.

Hahahahaha Hahahahaha Always Ottawa's fault, instead of Alberta's for keeping on putting all their financial eggs in a dying industry that private money will not touch with a 10ft pole #abpoli #cdnpoli #bcpoli

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

❤️❤️❤️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I reaaaallllyyy want this for my Halloween custom now ❤️🎃 😊

"Book it!" "These books are medicinal!" 📚📚 Well done 😂😂😂👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Amazing 👏🏽👏🏽😍😍 Tracking of Monarch butterflies as they fly south for the winter ❤️🦋 This is why you care about politics if you care about the natural world: nature recognizes no political boundaries, it is all connected🌏 #science #environment

“Solar and wind are now growing fast enough to meet the world’s growing appetite for electricity. This marks the beginning of a shift where clean power is keeping pace with demand growth”-From now on, there will be fewer markets for fossil fuels. Danielle Smith won't admit this #abpoli #cdnpoli

As an internet culture journalist, I think it’s important for me to continue to observe the depravity that goes viral on X, but one of the reasons I’m glad I stopped posting there is because I think it helps me avoid normalizing the rhetoric celebrating the political brutality in America right now

"PLEASE STOP!! I'M BORED!"

Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."

Having promised to peak emissions this decade, barely 50 years after it began to industrialise in earnest, China looks set to achieve that. And in the process, become a world leader in wind power, solar energy and electric vehicles. theconversation.com/when-china-m...

By the time you have an authoritarian regime, #science communication is not the issue. To prevent authoritarian regimes, science #education can help. For example, see this great proposal by @katharinehayhoe.com that scientists need to ditch the myth that we should be neutral & stay out of politics

I cannot recommend this FREE course enough. I have a bunch of degrees,blah blah blah, and I knew NOTHING until I took this! www.ualberta.ca/en/admission...

This makes my blood boil 🤬🤬 I have a story from Penticton: at the hospital there (as in many places), staffing shortages have been brutal. Can you blame people for wanting to live in places like Vancouver or Victoria instead? At one point... #medsky #cdnpoli #bcpoli #immigration 1/n

1) Studies of AI in medicine have been rigorous from the start (as they should be), and no one I know has been laid off and replaced with AI. By now, I think there's agreement that it's a useful tool and will help in some cases, but it won't replace the health care workforce 1/2

It is enraging how little is done to stop online harassment, even when it spills into real life incidents 😡😡 Again, I will point out that PP has not called out conservatives for their "F Trudeau" slogans or any other violent behaviour towards members of other parties. #canpoli #cdnpoli

This is my regular reminder to everyone that jstor is open to the general public now; a free account there will give you access to 100 papers a year.

Can’t stop thinking about the story from a family member. Their friend (white) drove to the US recently with his wife (black) & their teen daughter for her sports tournament. The US border guard asked the husband how it felt living in the slave quarters. Why is anyone going to the US by choice?

And that's how you integrate digital elements into an exhibition. Part of the temporary "China's Dinosaur World" at the Shanghai Natural History Museum, China. Closing this November. Video source: Shanghai Let's Meet

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

These are unprecedentedly challenging times for virology & vaccine research. I am so grateful to face them at @vido.org. It's an amazing place to study & make vaccines to improve human & animal health in Canada & around the world. #VIDOis50 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Truly impressive number of birds migrating tonight. More than 800 MILLION birds up in the air right now❗ #BirdMigration

This is so amazing, these kinds of diseases are devastating. Results like these are just completely unheard of 👏🏽👏🏽❤️❤️🥲🥲 Hoping the results hold up in further trials and that the therapy is quickly accessibility to all 🌏🌏

Or if you're in Canada you could get the paid version of CBC Gem, or donate to places like Canadian Literacy Children's Foundation, Canadian National Institute for the Blind @cnibfoundation.bsky.social, Let's Talk Science @letstalkscience.bsky.social, your local theater organization, etc #cdnpoli

It's unreal that people spend so much $ at Disney. I guess it's good for business to sell "dreams" and tell people from infancy that this is their "happy place". But they are just a business and obviously have little social conscience. There is literally the whole world you could go to instead 🌏🌏

The first time an Alberta government invoked the notwithstanding clause, public outrage forced a reversal in less than 24 hours. I wish to God Albertans would show the same moral fury now, when school children are outed & bullied by the government that is supposed to protect them. #ableg #abpoli

🚨NEW: "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" just dropped its first response to ABC, FCC chair, and Disney firing Jimmy Kimmel. Trump ain't sleeping tonight. 🤣 This is a must-watch. 🔥

If you could use a little bit of optimism today, here are some stories of North American bird species that have recovered from the brink of extinction. #ornithology

Canadian mining companies are 'getting away with atrocities' in South America and across the globe, says Brandi Morin. She shares the details with @racheldonald.bsky.social on this episode of the Mongabay Newscast. Listen now @mongabay.com

it's so funny to see America's health insurance companies be like "look. If there's one thing we love it's denying you care. but we ran the numbers - and we cannot BELIEVE we're saying this - and it's cheaper for us to just pay for the vaccines than deal with you going to the ER."

Ontario's SPCA searches for volunteers to foster animals temporarily in need of a home #Ontario #SPCA #FosterVolunteers 'The reward isn't financial, but it is love,' says organization's community outreach co-ordinator www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Way back in the before days I hung out with to guys. We’d go off roading and travel to lots of places in Southern BC. On guy moved ‘off grid’ by Cranbrook and lived in a converted school bus. The other guy, Tyler ironically, and I hung out and managed to do things during the lockdown. The Off Grid

When a virus that commonly causes cognitive dysfunction has been infecting and reinfecting the global population for years but is simultaneously being collectively ignored this is precisely the kind of normalisation you get. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Great episode, worth a listen #econsky #economy #values #equality #socialjustice #uspoli #cdnpoli

Charlie Kirk treated gratitude like it’s a hate crime.

I'm in Chicago for a bird festival, and last night the wonderful folks at Great Lakes Pigeon Rescue threw a pigeon party and handed me pigeon after pigeon to cuddle. If you want to adopt a pigeon, reach out to them. They ship birds safely across the country! greatlakespigeonrescue.org

I spoke many times with Catherine McKenna about the failure of the RCMP/Parliamentary Security to address rising levels of threat. Homes were outfitted with security cameras but little was done to track online threats. Good people gave up on serving the public. nationalnewswatch.com/2025/09/12/f...

Well, you know, the US used to do these kinds of things around the globe on the down low (eg see Latin American history). Now they are just saying the quiet part out loud...
