A C-list anti-vaxxer wanted to know if I was really stupid enough to believe that vaccines work by preventing disease, not infection.

If linguists insist on a uniquely Canadian orthography, that requires a Canadian language authority, similar to l’Académie française. In its absence, claims about incorrect Canadian spelling are matters of taste, not rule https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/12/23/mark-carney-canadian-english/

Fake references should lead to academic sanctions for the researchers involved, from both industry as well as from institutions. It needs to happen now, before every norm of academic integrity ends up sacrificed on the altar of production.

We only have a few days left to stop Trump's extinction plan! The Trump admin. just proposed four new rules that would gut the #ESA and drive imperiled plants and animals closer to #extinction. The new rules aren't just reckless — they're a death sentence. Take action ➡️ https://bit.ly/3LZAGe6

Being able to identify hoaxes, avoid scams & debunk propaganda is a civic skill required in today's information society. That's why curriculum for students in Finland includes media literacy lessons, aimed at safeguarding a precious resource: the truth. youtu.be/UZV9uw4usEE?...

As AI improves, it gets harder and harder to separate fact from fiction. This is a great article providing tips on how to judge if a video is AI or not… 1. Length of clip (8-10 sec) 2. Perfectly framed 3. Check source & context #Canada #AI

A diverse range of mammals once roamed the planet. This changed dramatically with the arrival of humans, who have become the dominant species through our own population, as well as the animals we breed and raise for food. What is the distribution of the global mammal kingdom today?

So, yeah - this is basically fossilized #DinoPuke ... giving us a new species of #pterosaur. 🤷‍♂️ 🦕🤮 www.science.org/content/arti... by @jack-tamisiea.bsky.social via @science.org

Chytrid fungus is a scourge to global amphibian populations, but before it kills some frogs, it can produce symptoms that may help the infected animals find mates and spread the fungus further

A teen ban is probably a step in the right direction. But I would argue that banning certain adults would have a much greater benefit to society than simply banning teens, especially in the absence of effective moderation or anti-disinformation tools.

I’ll take “Real results over empty 3-word slogans” for $1000 🙌🏻 Thank you PM Carney for your knowledgeable, measured, and respectful leadership. You’re solidly, and calmly navigating Canada in very turbulent economic and geo-political times. 🇨🇦💪🏻 #CanadaStrong #cdnpoli

Something like this is long overdue. Misinformation is one of the most pernicious problems facing society today, and we're paralyzed to do anything about it because of "free speech." If you're a wilful distributor of disinformation, you should be held to account. Why stop at politicians?
