Learning how to fight misinformation that impedes progress in climate change, pandemic response, democracy, and all things important. Unlikely to respond to DMs

Imagine you're in a sudden disaster like a burning building, sinking ship, airplane crash, where your goal is to get out quickly before you die.

Now, you would think that everyone around you would have the same goal, right?

Researchers in disaster behavior know otherwise.

It seems only a very small - tiny - number of people can see / acknowledge what the Covid pandemic is doing to population health. What do we do with that knowledge when no one wants to listen to us / hear it? Is the truth even true if nobody acknowledges it?

Literally thousands of homecare visits for seniors could likely have been paid for by the public funds wasted on policing at this needless @fordnation vanity fest.

[Noelle @Noellenarwhal]

Proud of you Scarborough. May this kind of response follow him everywhere he goes. Drown out that fucker's lies and make him scurry away like the coward bitch he is

[Lori King @1loriking]

This is a bribe hidden in overtime for @OPP_News why he's never charged & investigations tainted.

Ford Fest was a miscalculation by the PCs. The unhappiness among the people is a reality for a out of touch government

[Vicki Campbell🇨🇦 @merry123459]

This will be the last Ford Fest one way or another. It was always a quiet free hotdog conservative ass kissing event until this year.

AI is making doctors worse at diagnosing cancer.

Pre-AI: adenoma detection rate ~28.4% for colonoscopies

After 3 months of AI:

adenoma detection rate for colonoscopies performed without AI assistance fell to 22.4%

For the SAME doctors.

No one likes him!

He needs to take his hands off and stop messing with Toronto

He’s not our mayor

[Jamie Bonkiewicz @JamieBonkiewicz]

They’ve arrested more people for touching the peeling paint at the Reflecting Pool than they’ve arrested from the Epstein files.

[Will Adams @ThisIsWillAdams]

I've written to Premier Ford's constituency office requesting a public apology for the harassment experienced at Ford Fest. I've also written to the City of Toronto and will be calling Toronto Police to ask them to investigate this as a hate-motivated incident under Criminal Code Section 319.

[Therese @theresemacdona6]

I wish Doug Ford would stop advertising Ontario at taxpayers expense! He’s telling us we’re going to have a new prison, he’s keeping druggies away from schools (safe injection sites) and keeping crime down. It’s propaganda and @fordnation should be locked up!

[Dean Blundell🇨🇦 @ItsDeanBlundell]

Fuck, this guy is such a whiny, clueless, cosplaying bitch.
Maybe you should have read Canada's tax code or had your fucking accountant explain it to you like a child.
Capital gains, shell companies, and all are subject to an exit tax. Have been for generations. Canada's biggest victim, @GadSaad, will use any aspect of his own stupidity to make himself the victim of every story he tells. Like the dollar store version of Jordan Peterson.

[Gail Bennett 🍁 @GailBennett27]

Seriously, the emergency task force??
And riot officers, and court services vans??
WTH was he expecting? Cops to act like ICE?
His own J6!?
At a family picnic day?
There needs to be accountability for the cost of this and NOT from our taxes!!

[🍁Bernard Roulinski 🍁 @roulinski]

Doug Ford didn't win because Ontario overwhelmingly wanted him—he won because voters got apathetic and stayed home. Apathy is a choice. Vote.

[Not One Seat @notoneseat]

Boo'ed at your own party is a special kind of humiliation.

I love it so much.

Norway is removing all access to generative AI tools 🤖 for children in K-8 and only cautiously introducing it for high school students under strict supervision, along with funding more physical books in classrooms instead of relying on free online content. 📖

[Anders Åslund @anders_aslund]

I simply don't understand how the US does not have any mechanisms to stop Trump's physical destruction of Washington, DC.
This country appears completley lawless.

[Retired. Vive le Canada 🇨🇦 + 🇩🇪 🕊 🇺🇦 @TPS_32Planner]

Close Billy Bishop Airport entirely and turn it into a world class public park. This would be awesome.

[Raghu Venugopal MD @raghu_venugopal]

Gabbard and RFK are both nuts. Ask a practising physician.

[The Yeti of Kananaskis @kananaskinyeti]

I would take the accusation that I’m stealing my child’s childhood by keeping them away from Covid more seriously if childhood was something that this society actual cared about. 1 in 5 kids don’t get enough to eat. They don’t give a fuck about that, let’s not pretend here.
