Well done @britannica.com 🙌
Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons:

-We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S.

-The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous.

Today is the 35th anniversary of the murder of 14 female students at Polytechnique Montreal.

Every December 6th in Canada we remember them and reflect on violence against women.

Good article. Supplements are only beneficial if there is a deficiency, otherwise you have expensive urine.

Yep, #VaccinesWork & misinformation kills.

BUT

"...a decline in HPV vaccination post COVID... a decline in vaccination uptake would potentially lead to smaller gains."

The only way you recognize it’s YEG is by that bridge.

This incredible woman has more courage than any Republican member of Congress. Representative-Elect Sarah McBride responds to the pathetic transgender bathroom ban just announced by the coward Mike Johnson.

Watched the Martha Stewart documentary. She couldn’t be CEO of her company because she was a convicted felon (of insider trading) but Trump can be president? What in gods hell has happened to this world.

I think this is oil. Not sure if this is canvas as he often painted on wood.
