Amazon’s anti-human culture put on full display.

“For more than an hour, several employees said, workers in the facility were instructed to continue fetching totes, picking items off shelves and loading them onto trucks for delivery as the man lay dead, and management figured out their next steps.”

Denmark didn’t “transition” its grid—it replaced it.

~15% → 92% renewable electricity in 25 years.

Wind did the heavy lifting. Solar is scaling. Interconnection balanced. Flexibility solved variability.

Wind built it. Solar is scaling. Fossil lost it.

This IS system replacement. ⚡#Bettrification

You can tell our systems are broken when:
- The greatest threat to democracy is an elected President
- The biggest danger to public health comes from public health leaders
- The worst enemies of those fighting to control and prevent infections are the people getting paid to do that job

Red broken heart graphic on a navy blue background. The text overlay on the heart reads: "Long Covid is heartbreaking because...my child doesn’t have the energy to go to school." Above the heart, highlighted text reads: "Caregivers: Share your Long Covid experience." In the bottom right of the graphic is a teal bubble; inside, the text reads "your experience here" with an arrow pointing to the heart.

This year for Long Covid Awareness Month, we’re highlighting the impact of Covid on the heart & cardiovascular system. But #LongCovid impacts people in many different ways, so we want to feature all sorts of experiences—including those of caregivers—with an instantly recognizable broken heart.

Our family were doing well avoiding infection until December 2023. It took me 9 weeks to get back to feeling normal, and that was with missing the first two weeks of work in the new year. 60 days sounds about right!

If you have a LARGE follower count, pls know that Scott Horton is a chronic thief of posts. He also gets things very wrong and won't take posts down. No matter how nicely you ask.

Please unfollow him and do not repost.

Although he steals everything, Horton was recently verified by Bluesky.

Chances are, you’re paying too much for groceries. 💸

Let’s take a look at why— and why it doesn’t have to be this way.

Watch to the end for just one of the ways the Ontario NDP will rein in these outrageous prices.

Canada and France open consulates in Greenland following tensions over U.S. push for control "As Arctic nations, Canada and the Kingdom of Denmark are working together to strengthen stability, security, and cooperation," Canada's Foreign Minister said.

Canada's plan to open a consulate in Greenland was announced in 2024 -- along with one in Alaska. It was based on concerns about Russia. Let's not pretend this is a Carney growing some elbows move.

An airborne virus is a virus that can infect other people through unseen particles in the air, sometimes for hours after the sick person has left the area! Masks and clean, ventilated air can reduce the risk of getting sick from airborne viruses or infecting others.

There’s lots to unpack here

A few reasons:

More public $ going to for-profit providers where there is poor value for money

Prov govs haven’t shifted away from the small business model of primary care that is failing us across the country— primary care must be the foundation of our health system

"What exactly do you expect Carney to do / not do?"

A thread of 50 specific items (with links, and not in any particular order), a large fraction of which are in line with warning signs we pointed out early on and were told to be quiet, wait and see, or trust his 4D chess acumen.
