Vaccinate yes, but we must be cleaning our indoor air. Until governments take proactive measures people must protect themselves and their loved ones. Also, any healthcare/hospital worker that is not N95 masking is risking patients and other staff. #Cdnpoli #It'sAirborne
5 years ago, this week, I was lucky to receive my first dose of a Covid-19 vaccine that gave me a fighting chance during the pandemic

A Corsi-Rosenthal box in a classroom.
This one I made with computer fans. It’s super quiet.
Just wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal didn’t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent $1.7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. 🤷🏽♂️

'Even more troublingly...the fake papers were then cited in peer-reviewed literature. Osmanovic Thunström says this suggests that some researchers are relying on AI-generated references without reading the underlying papers.'

This idiot is just like a bad joke 🤦🏻
Trump has bankrupt the US in less than two years and lost all its 1st world allies. Pretty impressive for a Russian Israeli asset.
Oh so now copyright matters.
After Claudia Goldin became the first woman to win a solo Nobel in economics, she got hundreds of invitations.
She accepted three.

This was radio at its best, a fantastic segment. Arguably my favourite of all time. Stephen Lewis was a giant among men.
A giant of a human.
Cool. Data centres drawing all the energy so that human beings will no longer be capable of creating any new data.
Bucha has come to symbolise the cruelty of Russia’s war.
Of the civilians killed, many were shot at close range. Some with their hands tied behind their backs.
