Reminders, as public health officials warn of a very bad flu season:
🧵
* Washing hands is not a strategy for a respiratory virus. N95s, ventilation, air filtration -- especially in hospitals.
* We should have been cleaning indoor air with the same effort we put into cleaning drinking water.

I love how people on the internet get obliterated if they say something like “This horrible person deserves bad things” but one of the wealthiest people in the world can just be like “Yeah I’m gunning to have mass public hangings.”
A Palantir billionaire just called for public hangings.

We all know that ICE is violating human rights in the U.S.
But did you know a Canadian company is profiting off ICE? And that this same company has been ramping up its lobbying efforts?
Now, in my latest for @thetyee.ca, the government won't tell me if this is a red line for procurement:

We need to talk about Bill 9, Bill 9 and Bill C-9.
Somehow, they’re ALL awful — and they all infringe on the freedoms of Canadians, from trans Canadians, to visibly religious Canadians, to Canadians protesting genocide.
Can we agree: no more Bill 9s until we figure out what the hell is going on?

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.
