The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy. My advice, take the first step, start with something small and see what works for you. Here are ten things all of us can do. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

The conditions yesterday on Mt Cain were sublime. 20cm of new snow overnight, dry powder, no wind, and blue skies. Being first up the mountain to take care of boundaries and setting up the mountain has its benefits. Mt Cain is a community-run ski resort located in northern Vancouver Island, BC.

So, to those who say "masks don't work", cite the flawed Cochrane report, insist upon an unfeasible RCT, accuse folks of panic, and undermine public health on social and mainstream media during a flu/RSV epidemic... 1. Seasonal viruses may be "normal", but they do immense harm.

Canadian scientist here. I don't want this. I want you to fund our excellent early career scientists who do great work in Canada. Fund them properly and that will help 1000x more than recruiting handfuls of cherry picked bigwigs from Harvard, Stanford and MIT who will leave after a few years.

Somebody needs to invent an app that will automatically disable AI in all of your other apps and programs. I would probably even pay for it. Or make it an option in antivirus/firewall protection.

Oh your mom just happened to independently innovate a Haudenosaunee design? Anyone with an iota of knowledge about Indigenous material culture knows exactly where this style of moccasin comes from. Please do not buy Indigenous "inspired" designs from non-Indigenous folks.

Here's the reality this example illustrates: It's not even just about people blindly trusting what ChatGPT tells them. LLMs are poisoning the entire information ecosystem. You can't even necessarily trust that the citations in a published paper are real (or a search engine's descriptions of them).

I showed my scientific illustration students this example a few weeks ago. Told them they may yet have jobs. Their confidence grew a bit, they seemed reassured.

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

Scientists must learn to join larger pro-democracy and people's movements, coalitions. Our science training may not have prepared us for such work, but we can no longer sit in the safety of our labs and expect the world to get better My book review @thelancet.com www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

They say a true friend will shelter you even when it risks their own life, and Canada has done that time and time again. Whether it was fleeing loyalists, the underground railroad, the Iran Hostage Crisis, or 9/11, Canada has always been the country Americans turn to in times of trouble. 🇨🇦

“Parents who, after consulting with a doctor and a psychologist, allow their 15-year-old child to transition commit child abuse. The child is too young to consent!” --Megyn R. Kelly “Grown men who have sex with your 15-year-old? Big whoop! It’s not like she’s 8. LOL!” --Also Megyn R. Kelly

Every time Covid and learning loss hits the news, people act like the only factor is folk staying home and learning online, rather than… Living through a global mass death event.

Never forget the same people defending pedophilia have spent years trying to convince the public that drag queens and trans people are a threat to children. It’s all smoke and mirrors to allow the real predators to roam free.

Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️
