Rather than roll over to a Pride ban, he led a march of hundreds of thousands in Budapest.
Now, he's being charged under their anti-Pride law.
But he won't be deterred.

My monthly phone plan used to have a $3 data add on (250 MB) bringing it up to $33 per month. I bought a new used phone from the company and they let me keep my plan (instead of upgrading to $45 per month) BUT they paused the data add on. I just went to reinstate it and now the options are ~$20

Sad to hear about the passing of Kirsty Duncan.
I missed an opportunity to meet her last year but her vocal presence as a woman in sport and academia as well as her work in politics including advocating for science and safe sport leave a lasting legacy.

I'm traveling to PEI week after next and I opted to take the train, mostly because I like trains but also more luggage I think?

Reminder: when dressing in cold weather the goal is not to sweat because wet clothes are cold clothes. Wear lots of layers to stay warm but plan around also taking some layers off and on depending on activities.

As someone studying concrete deterioration mechanisms I love looking at the gardiner when I'm in Toronto. Excellent art project XD
During the Royal I've heard exhibitors sometimes put their animals under the highway which can be an issue with falling concrete maybe room to expand the art project?

This is purpura fulminans, a severe complication of meningitis (which as of today is no longer on our universal vaccine schedule)
Micro clots & bleeding into the skin cause skin & tissue death. It’s more common in kids & associated with 20-70% mortality.
Those who survive often lose limbs.

Having just driven from a freezing-rain hit region (London ON) to a region soon to be hit by freezing rain (near Wasaga) we never the less did not consider picking up sand or salt.
We have now tried covering the walkway (to get from one floor to another) w snow in hopes that it will be less slippy

I am currently sick with a cold, it's miserable. When I need to go out I wear a mask because I don't want to make other people sick.
Do I wish I had worn a mask more and not gotten sick? Yes.
Did I wear a mask when I was healthy and went home to help out when a parent got surgery? Also yes.

Airborne disease transmission is complicated, and the implementation of impactful mitigation strategies requires us to understand every aspect of this process. When widely circulated newspapers publish misinformation about what the literature is showing, the public is disserved.

I've heard academics advise their students to carefully check their reference lists after using ChatGPT, to make sure they haven't included any made-up papers
My advice is to not cite any papers you haven't actually read
