‘The University of Florida muzzled infectious disease experts, said emeritus professor Doug Barrett, formerly the university’s chief of pediatrics and senior VP for health affairs. “They’re told not to speak to anyone without permission from supervisors,” ‘ www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/10/30/d...

“Recent studies show that between 80% — 89% of the world’s population wants to see climate action. Many would even contribute 1% of their income to make that happen, even tho people vastly underestimate their peers’ desire for change. Members of this “silent majority” come from all walks of life…”’

Curious to know what North American folks think about whether a drop in BP will be enough to get Baxdrostat licensed? In UK suspect NICE will want to see MACE data first to do cost-effectiveness analysis. #medsky #askrenal #nephjc

A friend says it is always the right time to resist oppression. A friend says it is always the right time to resist surveillance. A friend says it is always the right time to resist fascism. Yes, my friends, and it is always the right time to resist infection.

I keep hearing people say that this is just that time of the year when everyone has a cough, and though I am not very old I am old enough to remember that this has not always been a time of the year when everyone has a cough.

"A 2025 CAA survey found 73% of drivers slowed down when approaching an Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) camera." So 27% didn't slow down after passing a "speed camera ahead" sign, and got a ticket. They deserved the ticket, just like the rest of us deserve safe streets.

Dear Bob Rae, You don't get paid to sit and listen. You get paid to stand up for Canadian values. During the brutal Russian invasion of Ukraine you used the word genocide numerous times. The UN has found Israel guilty of genocide. You're our ambassador. Why the silence?

If you agree that Canada should not export arms to Israel using middlemen in the US, please email your MP to support @jennykwan.bsky.social's private members bill. www.cjpme.org/no_more_loop...
