“If you test, you get a case…” school of epidemiology

We’re about to find out 🫠

We’re at the mercy of their COVID denial 😷

I'm sure these companies will pay for the increased fuel costs coming very soon, right? 🫠

Hi Lucky! 🍀

I'd offer to help with the coding but I'll be busy being born 😅

a person is holding a sword with the words perfectly balanced as all things should be Alt: Perfectly balanced as all things should be

They cancel each other out

Some might argue it's both 😝

They want to censor the internet. Banning kids from social media is just a convenient excuse to require ID everywhere 🙃

Definitely good entertainment 🍿

YOU get a block! And YOU get a block!

Bluesky’s userbase generally seems to think AI = LLMs = bad with no room for further nuance.

The overton window has shifted right so much that people don’t even know what the left is now

Alan Turing wore one biking to and from Bletchley Park to avoid allergies!

Did the province pick the best evidence based option? No. Is it better than what they were doing before? Probably.
