"culture war" is a euphemism for fights picked by fascists
Observe the warning signs of fascism. And yes Canada, that includes you too. #cdnpoli 👇
Canada could help mitigate the damage to US education and global R&D by massively expanding our post-secondary education sector. Unfortunately our leaders see government spending, esp on education, as inherently wasteful, to be minimized, not as investments that create new markets and opportunities.
The time to invest in Canada's future is now. Only the state can play this role. Instead, gov'ts are slashing the university sector. Carney has our civil service focused inward on DOGE-esque waste elimination when they should be developing innovative moonshots to strengthen Canada and the economy.

Disappointingly, Canada too engages in immigration fear-mongering.

@amnesty.org has released a report on the "global political economy” enabling genocide against Palestinians.
The report names Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Elbit Systems, Hyundai and Palantir, among others.
Wellness influencers aren’t selling health — they’re selling fear for profit. NYT Opinion exposes the same toxic playbook I flagged in Food Evolution + Shot in the Arm. Thanks @astocktonfilms @derekberes @nytopinion! #ToxicLieOfTheWeek
the best way to make sure that you and your loved ones survive isn't to grab a gun and go shooting wildly. it's to make connections in your community, talk to your neighbors, organize in all forms of life. we need to help the people most vulnerable, and we need to build a new future
Chatbots can help clinicians practice talking to patients about difficult topics, like vaccines. In @ca.theconversation.com, RRU Assoc. Prof. @jhodson.bsky.social and researchers from @mit.edu and Duke University, wrote about the benefits of these tools.
Helen Chu is one of the ousted #ACIP members. She spoke to me today about her grave concerns for future vaccination policy and vaccine access in the United States. www.statnews.com/2025/06/10/c...
Can AI chatbots be useful for training clinicians to have better conversations with vaccine skeptical patients? We think yes!

Here’s the truth about policing in America, & why you should care even if you’re white, housed, documented, & not wealthy. Policing was never about protecting the public. It was built to control people. That control now targets all who defy the ruling class. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue
Wow no one could have predicted this.
I’m sure AI will fix all this up.

It is surreal to be bombarded with constant op-eds about how we must finally admit that lockdowns, mask mandates and school closures didn't work.
Yes they did! COVID death rates were driven by lax policy and low compliance, mostly in red areas.

For decades, science-policy experts have worried that breakthrough findings are harder to come by, in turn feeding into slower economic growth. It’s a theme that some of the world’s most powerful science officials are harping on today. 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Canadian doctors have been watching the evolution of the problem and are sounding the alarm:
Private equity should be opposed in the delivery of medically necessary, publicly-funded healthcare

If you don’t want to take the booster don’t. But to prevent adults from having the choice is depraved.

Plagiarism machines have stolen every word I've ever written, including my book, without 1 penny of compensation, no consent. They're using the life's work of countless writers to spit out garbage--dangerous garbage. And the con artists running this scam are ruining the environment to do all that 🤮
“Today’s A.I. bots are based on complex mathematical systems that learn their skills by analyzing enormous amounts of digital data. They do not — and cannot — decide what is true and what is false. … On one test, the hallucination rates of newer A.I. systems were as high as 79 percent.”
Scammers often begin by creating dozens of fake Facebook pages and lookalike websites mimicking real news or government sites. These deceive users and evade Meta’s systems. But setting up fake pages and sites is just the first step in their scheme.
