Renee Macklin Good’s only published poem On Learning To Dissect Fetal Pigs is great. Written six years ago, it can be read as a commentary on the circumstances of her death. That is the ideal of poetic talent. Not to mention how her faith comes through so genuinely. I would love to see her work.

I wonder who Mark Carney would say is Canada’s biggest security threat now. It’s not China.

Thoughtful piece by my @science.nature.org colleague Rob et al. discussing the implications of global autocratization for science.

We face a clear choice, they say: keep our heads down and hope to weather rough political waters...or choose to actively support academic freedom + sustainability.

A San Francisco supervisor says that bricked Waymos slowed the fire department’s response to last weekend’s blackout.

If this is true, it’s very damming.
Stuck Waymo robot(s) hindered SFFD from getting to the PG&E substation fire, according to Sup Mahmood who is calling for hearings re PG&E and Waymo.

Waymo has confirmed telops partially failed during this emergency (pic2).

It is a shame that Elon Musk can amass holdings worth over a trillion dollars and a little device implanted in his neck won’t combust killing him instantly

The existing intellectual property law isn’t working if building codes which buildings must by law abide are also privatized by legal force but all the art and writing which ever ended up on the internet can be used as an input by AI companies.

I love the east end and especially the Danforth cause I can get to Bloor-Yonge in 20 minutes! www.thestar.com/news/gta/why...
Why east enders are feeling ‘cut off’ from the rest of Toronto. And the Gardiner ramp closure is only the beginning
East end residents feels they’ve been ignored by city hall after a cluster of overlapping construction projects has cut them off from the rest of Toronto.

If Yonge Street south of Davenport was open for pedestrian traffic it would never be reversed, be a boon for local business, make no difference in vehicular travel time, likely save lives and make Yonge St car traffic feel like a distant memory in months. It’s possible right now

For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Happy Rapture Everyone!
