I see AI slop in anything, I instantly disregard the whole thing. It's like finding a slug in your salad. If you can't write without an LLM, or you can't source art that isn't genAI, you can't be trusted to do anything. Sorry. Absolute deal-breaker.

Apparently 1 in 6 people who get Botox experience adverse effects from the procedure?? Excellent (and troubling) new @healthydebate.bsky.social story by Miranda Schreiber

If you are someone — citizen, scholars, journalist, activist, etc — fighting against AI data center development anywhere in Canada, can you ping me? Would like to coordinate something…

Osteoporosis and Alzheimer's disease often occur together, and it turns out it's not just because age is a major risk factor for both conditions. @ucsf-bchsi.bsky.social @perroninstitute.bsky.social tinyurl.com/f862kfc8

Today, in Utah, homeowners *or renters* can simply buy a solar panel at Costco, take it home, and plug it in to a wall socket, like an appliance. It just sits there & trims about 15-20% off a residential power bill. If you move to another apt., you can take it with you.

I promise I'll get slightly less annoying by this time next week, but until then I'd like as many folks as possible to know about this FREE cookbook that features delicious recipes from a variety of culinary traditions and helps home cooks reduce food waste from their Thanksgiving dinner! 🍗

Much of what we think we know about the vagus nerve is more folklore than science. So what does research tell us about this structure's role in health and well-being? @angliaruskin.bsky.social @jamesheathers.bsky.social @northwellhealth.bsky.social @kiteuhn.bsky.social tinyurl.com/2dh6ted7

The key thing to watch here: they fired a Wired political reporter. That’s the title doing the most effective, pointed work. Teen Vogue’s stuff was culturally impactful, but less focused on investigating the administration. Within the Condé portfolio, Wired and the New Yorker are the canaries.

Our local animal shelter just put out an urgent request for food for the Pet Food Bank. If you have a local pet food bank please help people feed their pets during this challenging time ❤️

Amazon and Walmart are two of the biggest recipients of SNAP and Medicaid funds because they don't take care of their employees. Families working 40+ hours a week requiring gov subsistence. In Canada they go to food pantries to make ends meet. Corporations are the real "welfare queens" of society

Anyone can become disabled. Anyone can lose their job. Anyone can become homeless. Anyone can go hungry. These are not moral failings. They can happen in an instant. Most people are far closer to living in poverty than they realize. We must fight for one another & for the most vulnerable.

Folks, the mild case of whooping cough you get with recent vaccination sucks, but it sucks infinitely less than what you’ll get without one. Whooping cough is highly contagious, even if you’ve been vaccinated. The amount of whooping cough circulating is another good reason to start masking again.

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵) www.consumerreports.org/lead/protein...

Well done!

It's always funny to me when people make up conspiracy theories, as in, "the entire medical community is hiding the cure for cancer." It's hard enough to get three people on a Zoom call at the same time. How are these massive conspiracies coordinated? Maybe they have their own Slack channel?

@go4know.com Thanks for the reposts!

A red-hat man calling a woman "woke" is just his way of saying "she's too smart for me to manipulate." Just sayin'

I don’t understand why we need a “Columbus Day” when this country celebrates incompetent white men failing up and taking what isn’t theirs all year round.

"Instead of treating sustainability as a box-ticking exercise, we must view it as a product differentiator. If we fail, we risk isolation, dwindling competitiveness and continued over-dependence on a U.S. market that is turning its back on the future."

please think about this deeply & consult with experts who do NOT have Conflicts of Interest! See: Guest, O., Suarez, M., Müller, B., et al. (2025). Against the Uncritical Adoption of 'AI' Technologies in Academia. Zenodo. doi.org/10.5281/zeno... bsky.app/profile/oliv...

I already wasn't crazy about TJ because they have been known to rip off small producers (they start a relationship, get lots of data, them reverse engineer the product and slap their own label on it). Add this in and I'll never spend another dime there.

Russ Vought wasn't lying when he said he wanted to inflict "trauma" on our public servants. This is what he is doing...with RFK Jr.'s permission at HHS. Last night, they destroyed our nation's ability to track and report emerging diseases/potential pandemics, among other things. This cannot stand.

They have fired the staff of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, who are disease detectives that respond to outbreaks around the world. I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.

Censors fear an educated public because knowledge can’t be controlled. Every banned book is a warning and an invitation to read louder. Defend the right to think, question, and grow. That’s the heartbeat of a free society. #BannedBooksWeek

Years of maternal instincts tell us RFK Jr is far more dangerous than Tylenol. Also the fetus isn’t in the placenta.
