A must read: @castelvecchi.bsky.social's great deep dive on CERN's battle to build the next mega-collider. Many physicists are critical of plans "because it will take so long to come to fruition and because sinking resources into it could close off alternative ideas"⚛️🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The European physics laboratory CERN is planning to build a mega collider by 2070. Critics say the plan could lead to its ruin.

Are you thinking about leaving?

The majority of rural hospitals are teetering on the brink of closing. This cut to their reimbursements will finish most of them off leaving small towns having to drive to regional medical centers for routine care.
I don't know how our safety-net hospitals are going to survive with cuts to Medicaid, their primary revenue stream. So many patients will suffer. #medsky

Of one thing, teenage writer Danica Popovic is certain: as powerful as AI may be, it cannot give voice to the complexity of human life. Only human-made art can. After all, pain and uncertainty aren’t problems technology can solve. thewalrus.ca/at-3-a-m-i-turne...

"4.5 million Canadians tuned in to CBC News Network from February 1 through 3, making it the most-watched English-language Canadian news network.

When the country was reeling from the threats from US President Trump, who did we turn to? We turned to the CBC - our trusted national broadcaster.

News Analysis: The GOP won the last election in no small part because of its new appeal with working-class voters. But the economic agenda Republicans are now putting together would by and large help rich Americans, all while teeing up cuts to programs that provide health care and food to the poor.

Each day represents a chance for us to hold hope through the chaos… see the light in the dark… stand in integrity… and to be kind, love fiercely, and forgive. This does not mean that we should back down from standing up for humanity or the planet. It starts at home and spreads

I’m in Canada for a week. I wish Americans could only watch the CBC as their news source for the next year. So far, I’ve heard Trump referenced as racist, ignorant, blustering, & lying. I’ve been watching for an hour.

The Poilievre Conservatives are following Trump’s playbook. We must defend the #CBC.
We do 100% "still" need the CBC - and should think about how to expand its reach internationally especially to Americans.

A slogan is not a national conversation, and you can't de-fund English CBC and leave Radio-Canada intact and able to function. The infrastructure is integrated, and they're lying to claim that they can do just that.
