The new tph chief boasting about her close relationships to Ford's Covid team and Kieran Moore is... well... bad. Very, very bad.
I suppose anyone who cares about seniors or the disabled doesn't get ahead in healthcare systems run by the Westons and their ghoulish friends.

Ah. Seniors can receive "limited door delivery" of their mail is the big exception to the Liberals torching Canada Post delivery. How promising and reassuring.

So 💔 & angry… that Alice is gone, Teen Vogue is gone, community care is all but gone, but dangerous infectious diseases are still being given red carpet treatment. The disability, Long Covid, & ME communities keep losing people, & it doesn’t have to be this way. We can do better. We must.
Respect Alice Wong’s call here:
“When I am in public spaces and see most people unmasked either because they think the virus is a hoax, that masking is virtue signaling & a sign of weakness, aren't thinking about it, or that they simply don’t care, I feel like an expendable burden not worth saving.”

This a million times, but to Mark Carney and the bleak Liberal Party view of the value of our country. This shit shouldn't be allowed to open in an abandoned big box hardware store and drain billions of litres of municipal water.
This is why it kills me a little bit every time PA politicians talk about encouraging data centers to open in my state. Fuck that, no. Data centers are neither progress, nor economic growth, nor job creators. They are a drain on the electric grid, on taxpayers, and severe polluters. Fuck. No.
A new state-by-state evaluation of the projected energy and water use of "AI" data centers in the US. Looks… real bad. Like, "undoing tech sector climate gains" bad.
Strongly recommends immediately ensuring any & all new "AI" data centers to run on existing & expanded renewables grids. Which… yeah.

I'm losing so, so much patience for anyone whose actions continue the spread of this horrible thing. Technofeudalism is still using covid as an enabling mechanism and we're letting it.
During the height of the pandemic, Tyson used Palantir to predict Covid-19 infections among meatpacking workers down to a nearly exactly figure. But rather than using this data to increase worker protections, Tyson used it plan for labor shortages + plant closures

The soft pedaling language being used to describe the men in the Epstein files is enraging.
They didn’t “have sex with underage girls”.
They raped them.
Sex implies consent.
The survivors deserve better than this. Use the correct language. Say what these men did.

Love seeing the Solve Long Covid ad air after "brain health" supplement scams. Brilliant positioning. I hope it helps someone realize what's going on and makes more people realize that supplement makers are getting famously wealthy by sustaining our pain.

Wait. Wait. Canada is cutting thousands and thousands of public servants because AI will be transformational.
An M.I.T. study found that 95% of companies that had invested in A.I. tools were seeing zero return. It jibes with the emerging idea that generative A.I., “in its current incarnation, simply isn’t all it’s been cracked up to be,” John Cassidy writes. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/mlYgP3
The A.I.-Profits Drought and the Lessons of History
Like the steam engine, electricity, and computers, generative artificial intelligence could take longer than expected to transform the economy.

Wellness-pipelined people are going to see these guidelines and think it's the same as all the extreme anti-carb elimination diets that push fat consumption. Not smart even if it is, but I'm expecting it's more the stuff of cutting costs for fast food companies and attacking regulations. Nutty.
Not depressed enough?
RFK Jr's latest "commonsense" guidelines
stress eating "saturated fats of dairy, of good meat” as a part of the whole-food diet he wants Americans to follow
...breaking from scientific consensus - yet again.

The last 5 years have trained good people to dismiss death and suffering as the inevitable fate of weakness. We are more likely to accept and ignore than make meaningful change.
But it doesn't have to be that way. It's a choice. Please don't let this become normal.

Because I'm a masochist, I still read health news. Buried in so many stories seeking accountability in health care are little divergences, catching a "severe chest infection" or "virus" tied to delays in recovery and other complications, but written as throwaway lines. When will we wake up?

New — While some states have received SNAP benefits for November and USDA is supposedly pushing through all federal payments soon, that doesn’t erase the psychological terror of the last few weeks.
I spoke with 20+ SNAP recipients in 16 states about preparing for a possible future with no food:

Pretty sure one of the only reasons it's taken off the way it has is because people like saying the name. Especially if they call it "chat." Cutesier than Google, and it's still a way to individualize just by using a different verb. Cheap carrot.

Hatred of fat people bolsters fascism and all far-right ideologies. Every person not fighting anti-fatness (and ableism) in themselves and in the bigger picture is giving Trump and co. their power.

We can't oppose genocide, prevent pandemics, foster gender equality, or build new int'l relationships if we cut $2.7 billion when it's needed most. And if we can't do those things, we lose a strong Canada.
