📖 Yellow fever outbreak temporarily changes dispersal patterns in an endangered primate

These results indicate a spatial rearrangement of individuals during the outbreak potentially due to non-random mortality leading to changes in social group structure🐵 🧪 🦠

Epstein's Zorro Ranch maintained private microwave communications links probably to the Sandia & Los Alamos nuclear weapons labs; 11 missing or killed nuclear scientists including several linked to the Los Alamos lab

Straight from the horse's mouth:

If Trump's proposed $5B cut to NIH were enacted in FY27, the number of new NIH research grants would drop **47%**

To be clear, this is from a document justifying the request. It's what they *want*. They think this is good.

Language models transmit behavioural traits through hidden signals in data - Nature During model distillation, large language models can subtly transmit traits unrelated to the training data.

Large language models can teach other models unwanted traits, which can persist even when training data has been scrubbed of the original trait, according to research in Nature. In one example, a model seems to transmit a preference for owls to other models via hidden signals in data. 🧪

Lockdowns at Ontario jails caused by staff shortages rising rapidly, data shows | Globalnews.ca New data shows the vast majority of the province's correctional facilities are operating with far more inmates than they were designed — and growing staffing problems.

NEW: The government says it plans to build thousands of new beds in response to jail overcrowding.

BUT the current system is already struggling with staffing.

The number of times inmates are locked down because of a lack of staff is growing fast. #Onpoli

Have you heard of tree inequity? TREE INEQUITY? Toronto is the first city in Canada to adopt a tree equity approach. Using thei Tree Equity Tool, we combine land-cover. to identify where more trees are needed and nep roses expire pinone options in their neighbourhoods. If you're looking to help create a greener front of your home. I Find out more: httos://toronto ca 10:35 am - 12 Apr 2026 _chanface 28s Just because you don't understand the real public health effects of tree canopy cover doesn't mean you should spread culture war slop about it. Brad, as an urban planning student who used to look at to u as a planning educated councillor,

I’m so fucking tired of culture war slop. I saw on X last week the right wing meltdown over the city of Toronto using the term “tree equity” while I was posting my pedestrianization petition there.

Originally I didn’t cross post it here cuz who needs more X, but now Bradford is pushing it too ugh

Church Street plan could make The Village pedestrian-friendly this summer | CBC News A new proposal at city hall could see part of Toronto’s Gay Village closed to cars this summer. Supporters say the plan would boost local businesses and create more space for people to gather.

Thank you @tyrcheese.bsky.social for covering the Church Street Pedestrianization plan as well!

Always happy to talk about creating safer and vibrant streets!

It's a symptom of a deeper misogyny...

The extent of Epstein's connections was not only with powerful politicians and business leaders, but also scientists, among them well-known names in paleontology.

spending boost table (VIA HFR +19%)

spending hit table (VIA -50.2%)

Some really concerning funding cuts in Carney's budget (CRA, Indigenous relations, Canada Post, Public Works, CBC) but what stuck out to me as a transit nerd is:

-50.2% cuts to "VIA Rail Canada Inc."
+19% boost to "VIA HFR - VIA TGF Inc"

Biking to the metro without having to worry about theft. Going for a run and biking back. Walking somewhere, it starts to rain, then hopping on a bike to arrive faster.

Bike share *completely* changed my mobility.

I can take a bike anywhere with zero cost for each ride ($20 monthly membership).

Chow flop.

She won many votes from cyclists and biked to work her first day in office, but that’s all performative if we’re dropping the cycling infra budget by $175M!!!

Email her and your councillor demanding at least keeping cycling investments steady, not a $175M downgrade.

Vancouver’s West End is the densest neighbourhood in Canada. Its mix of housing includes lots of apartment towers.

I highly recommend anyone who thinks tall buildings ruin neighbourhoods to visit. It really is a nice experience.

Two measurements I cannot accept:

1. Americans using ounces for liquid
2. Brits using stones for weight
