Jay Bhattacharya pulls a study because he doesn’t like the conclusions. I cannot explain how bad this is and how it reeks of the stench of ideological zealotry and has no basis in science. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/22/u...

In honor of #EarthDay, here is a reminder that there is a bot account that posts a photo of the whole Earth from a million miles away, taken by the Deep Space Climate Observatory, several times daily. You can view all the images (and zoom in) here: epic.gsfc.nasa.gov

Pharmachoice Trade Show day 1! Wheee ! It's "education day". So far learned about the new apps, the new website, some "how to run a store" stuff, the updates in printing store signs, and menopause. This is very fun and exciting if you're a pharmacist!

Pharmacy Adventure time! Off to the Pharmachoice Trade Show in Halifax. Showed up to the airport 2 hours early because I can't math this early in the morning.

1 yr ago I wrote a massive thread on @iea.org huge AI / energy report. WELL it's one year later and they've released an update, but notably, there is no chatbot. Well....I'm going to read it anyway, and you're all going to get spammed with notes :) that's means a NEW ULTRATHREAD 🧵

this is fucking unreal stuff from Noah Wyle on the magic of The Pitt. www.gq.com/story/noah-w...

It costs the City of Ottawa $465/person each year to serve new low-density homes, over & above what it receives from property taxes/fees. On the other hand, high-density infill such as apartment buildings pays for itself plus an extra $606/person each year. Sprawl costs, infill saves. #UrbanTruth

In 2023, the Examiner published @suzannerent.bsky.social's blockbuster investigatory report on Sobeys' anti-competitive practices, which inspired Jacob Flipp to find the underlying documents across Canada.

Congratulations to Péter Magyar on a decisive election victory in Hungary. The Hungarian people have chosen a new path. We are ready to work with you, and our European allies, to deepen our cooperation in trade, defence, and security.

Standing room only at this "license on the line, habits that lead to discipline" talk. Popular topic...

PharmacyU keynote was pretty nice! This is the 15th year of this, so a lot of "Check out what's changed." Now for some travel medicine...

PharmacyU Day! Any other pharmacists out there going? Starting the day off right with my wife setting the alarm sound to the "Rainy Day White Noise for Falling Asleep"...

The American regime has alienated us from the Pope. Let that sink in.

I wrote and posted this to Instagram a couple of days ago and it became my most-read poem ever. I’m honored I get to feel big feelings alongside you all. I’m posting it here too and want to use this space more consistently. Hello friends ❤️

Chinese carmaker BYD unveils a recharge as fast as filling up with petrol. And no need to wear gloves. Certainly not coming to a forecourt near you in America because the fossil fuel giants and their puppets in government like making lots and lots of cool money from easily-conned petrolheads.

3/ Canada must bring sanctions against Israel, cancel the Canada-Israel free trade agreement, implement a real two-way arms embargo, and use every diplomatic and economic tool at our disposal to rein in Israel.

Any number of Americans are willing to make clumsy bad-faith arguments in an effort to unperson and unstate millions of human beings. Some of those Americans are throne-sniffing prominence-chasing law professors. Decent people should treat them with contempt. That’s MY free speech culture.

Absurd. After Pope Leo criticized Trump's war in Iran, Pentagon officials reportedly invoked the Avignon Papacy as a warning—a devastating 14th century military conquest of the Catholic Church. Pope Leo has since cancelled his planned US visit Tl:dr Even the Pope appears unsafe from Trump’s fascism

The 25th Amendment: The Eject Button Fantasy By Tony Pentimalli I get it. I really do. We are exhausted, we are angry, and the fact that this deranged, often monstrous manchild is the President of the United States makes a lot of people want to smash the

I talked to CBC-Kitchener-Waterloo Radio this morning about #Artemis II and they recorded a little video version of the interview afterward (with similar questions). You can watch here: www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

It's migration season! Monarch butterflies travel over 4,000 km to winter in Mexico's stunning oyamel forests. Witness the beauty of nature's incredible journey.

In the #UniRosedale by-election, 9400 votes have been cast in the advance polls. This compares to a total of 21,000 all-in at last year’s general election. But of course we don’t know who the 9400 votes are for yet. Moral: Get out and vote for Dr. Danielle Martin! 🍁 ca.news.yahoo.com/pivotal-terr...

Oh, this is good. Idaho passed a bill banning local cities from flying the Pride flag. So the cities decided to wrap the poles themselves in pride colors. This is amazing.

Rep. Ted Lieu isn't backing down.

5yo has decided she is a writer so our house is filling with novellas, including THE LOST BABY DOLPHIN, another gripping tale "ritin and ilistratid by Eva"

Having a very productive Easter weekend! (It's a baby ogre, not a mutant Easter egg)

It would be useful if the NYT explicitly stated that the pilot, if captured, would be a POW, that there are laws governing how POWs can be treated, that respect for international law on war shapes how the enemy approaches it, and this is why the US conduct of this illegal war has been so dangerous.

Don’t the Ilhan replies highlight that harassment on social media is a serious problem, and then the Bluesky/MJS version is a good time to look around and go “oh hey we should do something about this so it doesn’t end up like what Ilhan Omar deals with on X”?

Artemis II launch caught from an airline flight. Incredible video.

I'm sorry to be so "Old Man Yells at Cloud," but please just let me ask, do you remember when the menu bar was at the top and everything was up there? Why do we want a menu on the left, and a menu on the right? Now there are little menus sneaking up from the bottom? Who do I report this bug to?

Listening in to the birthright citizenship oral arguments. I won't be fully live-posting through them, but will highlight some comments. I'll have a quick analysis up after the arguments, later this afternoon.

I showed this graph in class yesterday on how measles cases in the United States plummeted dramatically after the vaccine was licensed in 1963. It’s not subtle and I could not resist observing: “This stunning design in measles cases was not thanks to vitamin A. It was not due to beef tallow.”

I have experienced similar pile-ons when my summary of a court's holding was mistaken for my personal view on the matter. This insistence on stripping a post of context then imputing bad faith is making BlueSky unusable for legal reporting. Today's incident shows that the problem is getting worse.

Today, MSF is going public with something we've been fighting behind closed doors for months: Gilead will not sell us their new HIV drug, lenacapavir. The sticking point isn't even price, they just refuse to sell. Open letter linked + explainer 🧵1/ www.doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/gilea...

Some of the same purity-politics voices spent months slapping genocide slogans on Biden and Harris. Then came protest votes, third-party splinters, and now we are all living with President Trump. Fractured coalitions have real consequences. And Track AIPAC rides on that. 14.

77/ "Demand destruction won’t fix this. The world cannot function with 10–15% less energy... During Covid, when OECD, China,& most major economies briefly shut down (Chinese literally locked people up in their apts), demand fell by 16.5mbpd at peak, and only for a few weeks" x.com/BurggrabenH/...

Have you seen this yet? This is wrong. Parliament is supposed to be a civic space — the one room in this country where every faith, and no faith, stands on equal ground.

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

I think we need to have a conversation about the media’s willingness to lower its bar based on the most extreme shit a politician says, and how it results in the normalization of some pretty heinous stuff. The reaction to Poilievre’s interview on Joe Rogan is an excellent example. Let’s discuss:

How quickly people forget gamergate. Blocking doesn’t stop harassment campaigns.

Good people, please fill out those Anthropic claims. Settlement is going to be around $3000 per book. "Anthropic will pay $1.5 billion plus interest into a settlement fund, equating to approximately $3,000 for each work covered by the settlement." www.susmangodfrey.com/wins/susman-....
