Serhiy Poznyak, Lieutenant of the GNU, recorded this testimonial about @y-chornomorets.bsky.social in relation to his volunteer work supporting Ukrainian snipers. The Russians are in the middle of a major offensive right now in Ukraine! We need maximum solidarity and maximum support for snipers!

This is long overdue. This mafia masquerading as a state is terrorising people around the globe with disinformation, killing innocent people in Ukraine, Africa etc. This needs to stop.

Some numbers Population of Georgia - 3,76 million (2023) Population of Russia - 143,8 million (2023) We condemn the violence against peaceful protesters. The actions of the government go against the will of the people. Stay strong, people of Georgia!

Reading the pardon coverage...I don't think the significance of the Gaetz/Patel/Bondi nominations has sunk in. People still aren't getting what a politicized DOJ and FBI, with the power to arrest/bug/harass anyone for any reason, would be able to do.

These are worth their weight in gold to the #TeamYuri snipers. Endless research goes into determining the best case, charge and projectile for every caliber and situation. If you want to #DonateToUkraine for maximum effect, put your 💰 at the intersection of power, precision and professionalism 🎯

Yuri needs to collect $60,000 in total to pay for 10,000 Peterson cartridge cases in .375 caliber. The cases are loaded with gunpowder and bullets by technicians for use by the top long-range snipers in Ukraine. This is the technical edge for Ukraine. This is how victory is achieved. Please support!

With the 365-day running global surface temp. average at 1.6°C over the 1850-1900 baseline, the atmosphere can hold about 11% more water vapor. See for yourself! Here is the latest data for "total column precipitable water" through October, 2024. The climate 8-ball says: f&%king hell!

Sigh. I see there's still a decent amount of dehumanizing language on here, especially "magat" and references to other people's subnormal intelligence. Guess my nighttime soporific ritual of muting or blocking accounts using dehumanizing language will continue. But the scale is small vs X.

So weird how as soon as the pandemic started it became very immediately clear that things like socialized medicine and giving people money so children don’t starve actually work really well but now that it’s been a couple years we have to all pretend we didn’t notice that

The places that show the way should not be lumped Into an average figure as a benchmark. The best is surely the benchmark when it comes to saving lives ? www.theguardian.com/world/2020/m...

3. You can see we're at the start of a new monitoring period here. The line that will depict what happens in the US during influenza-like illness (ILI) season 2023-24 is barely visible. I added the arrow to show you were to look. Last season (orange line) started very early. Slower start this year.

From weekly cause of death data it's not clear what's driving this. Many causes show declining trends, including Cerebrovascular diseases and Influenza and pneumonia. Most of the effect seems to be driven by ill-defined/unspecified and "other causes" not broken down. (Trend excludes last 60 days.)

So many exciting areas to develop up - taking technologies to the real world takes a proper MDT approach and scientific leadership. Learned so much at IHEEM - lots of copper piping around and silver finishes too.

Updated StatCan excess mortality estimates are out today. Mortality rates in BC are still elevated, resulting in increasing cumulative excess mortality. At some point I would have expected to see effects of mortality displacement, but still no sign of that in BC.

Feeds are a good way to follow topics of interest or find folks. If you add 🧪 to a post it will be included in the What's Science feed. Add “Medsky","Medtwitter", or 🩺 or ⚕️, to have the post in the Medsky feed. If you add “epidemiology”, “episky”, “epitwitter”, it will be added to the Episky feed.

Until the trolls arrive enable all replies to be shown rather than only those with “2 likes”

“Academic science (is) an enterprise for smart people positioned within the right professional network, (…) who study things that are just interesting enough to not offend academic sensibilities. And (…) identities like gender and race (and others) can amplify the signals that trip those wires.”

The protesters in Sydney screaming "gas the Jews" were merely expressing economic anxiety, decolonialism, and asking for peace and harmony among all people. Am I doing it right?
