Police in Airdrie, Alberta (just north of Calgary) say this driver hit a 17-year-old girl in a marked crosswalk, got out of the vehicle, and appeared to get upset at the teenager before driving away.

They released this video and are now trying to identify the driver.

They’re also being sued by a number of creditors. The co. seems shady…

A cat will complain until you give it a corpse then refuse to eat it.

Whoa! The shutdown’s ripple effect starting to hit.

Burbank Airport in LA County has no air traffic controllers on duty due to sick calls, last-minute day-off requests, and staffing shortages.

If you’re flying anywhere in the country, check for delays.

Bari Weiss and the Free Press published rank covid disinformation and nothing else.

These are the people purging and censoring science today.

She’s not just a fraud, she’s utterly malignant and contemptible, as she lies under the guise of “free thinking.”

"Blue medical masks and cloth masks are great at helping a sick person keep their germs to themselves. 🚨Only a proper fitting respirator, like an N95, KN95 or CAN95, protects the wearer from germs, especially diseases like COVID-19 and measles, which travel through the air."

One of the stories that resonated - "I was able to venture out for an ice cream cone with a friend this day. I don't feel comfortable eating in restaurants or going to bars like most people my age. Spring and summer are nice beaches they give me more options to spend time outdoors with fewer people around - which means I get to see the people I love more often. Even short moments like this help me feel a little more like a "normal" 24 year old again

I was moved to tears by some of the personal stories on display. Such a great event

Best advice I received from a spine surgeon: “if your back pain doesn’t leave you feeling your life is ending you need to turn and run from my office. I’m a surgeon, all I can do is cut.”

I turned and ran, in 2003.

AI-Powered Engineering: Smarter Design Starts Here | Part 1 In this episode of The Tech Between Us, host Raymond Yin is joined by Nemanja Jokanovic, Head of Sales at SnapMagic, for a look at how AI is fundamentally reshaping the way engineers design.

“What really makes it exciting, yet still largely unknown, is how it enables engineers to shift their focus—from repetitive tasks to higher-value, more impactful work.”

Whatever.

I understand there never was a moon landing, it was all in a soundstage in Hollywood.

On Sept. 30, 1958, Canadian children were treated to a new show.
It featured a giant who told them to "look up!...waaaaaay up!"
For the next 27 years, the show was a fixture on CBC and is beloved to this day.
This is the story of The Friendly Giant!

U.S. Corporate media ignores that man who waged deadly attack on a Mormon church was a Trump supporter This fact was covered by international media but not US

U.S. Corporate media ignores that man who waged deadly attack on a Mormon church was a Trump supporter. This fact is important given Trump and Stephen Miller are seeking to blame Democrats for all violence to label Dem party a terrorist group. My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/us-corpora...

Masks and respirators for prevention of respiratory infections: a state of the science review | Clinical Microbiology Reviews SUMMARY This narrative review and meta-analysis summarizes a broad evidence base on the benefits—and also the practicalities, disbenefits, harms and personal, sociocultural and environmental impacts—of masks and masking. Our synthesis of evidence from over 100 published reviews and selected primary studies, including re-analyzing contested meta-analyses of key clinical trials, produced seven key findings. First, there is strong and consistent evidence for airborne transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and other respiratory pathogens. Second, masks are, if correctly and consistently worn, effective in reducing transmission of respiratory diseases and show a dose-response effect. Third, respirators are significantly more effective than medical or cloth masks. Fourth, mask mandates are, overall, effective in reducing community transmission of respiratory pathogens. Fifth, masks are important sociocultural symbols; non-adherence to masking is sometimes linked to political and ideological beliefs and to widely circulated mis- or disinformation. Sixth, while there is much evidence that masks are not generally harmful to the general population, masking may be relatively contraindicated in individuals with certain medical conditions, who may require exemption. Furthermore, certain groups (notably D/deaf people) are disadvantaged when others are masked. Finally, there are risks to the environment from single-use masks and respirators. We propose an agenda for future research, including improved characterization of the situations in which masking should be recommended or mandated; attention to comfort and acceptability; generalized and disability-focused communication support in settings where masks are worn; and development and testing of novel materials and designs for improved filtration, breathability, and environmental impact.

Dropping this here for those interested in reality, not junk science conspiracy.

Screenshot from a USA Today article, "Fact check: No, N95 filters are not too large to stop COVID-19 particles": The COVID-19 particle is indeed around 0.1 microns in size, but it is always bonded to something larger. “There is never a naked virus floating in the air or released by people,” said Linsey Marr, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Virginia Tech who specializes in airborne transmission of viruses. N95 mask on table in front of medical worker The virus attaches to water droplets or aerosols (i.e. really small droplets) that are generated by breathing, talking, coughing, etc. These consist of water, mucus protein and other biological material and are all larger than 1 micron. “Breathing and talking generate particles around 1 micron in size, which will be collected by N95 respirator filters with very high efficiency,” said Lisa Brosseau, a retired professor of environmental and occupational health sciences who spent her career researching respiratory protection.

The 60-Year-Old Scientific Screwup That Helped Covid Kill All pandemic long, scientists brawled over how the virus spreads. Droplets! No, aerosols! At the heart of the fight was a teensy error with huge consequences.

If you’re still wearing a mask… thank you.

Thank you for recognizing that disabled people aren’t expendable.

Thank you for showing solidarity with us.

Thank you for caring about your health & the health of those around you.

It’s a powerful act of community care & it’s never too late to start!

don’t be surprised when that manifest violence gets turned toward you at some point.

Cause that’s the way the system is designed to work.

Or will you join the racist hew and cry about ‘entitled natives’?

Are you writing the BC government asking that they drop that appeal and to do what’s right?

Or will you remain silent, tacitly approving of one more use of colonial violence to support land theft?

If you choose the later path,

case, b/c fee simple lands is the entire basis for the Settler Colonial state’s existence.

And what will you do if the Supreme Court of Canada endorses that lower court ruling?

Will you nod and say it’s about time and start advocating for sharing the land as you promised under treaty?

part of that overall violence.

And now it’s starting to come for you.

I’m not bitter, but on TRUTH and Reconciliation Day in Canada, everyone should reflect that their part in tacitly allowing racism and violence to perpetuate isn’t a neutral choice.

As the BC government appeals that land title

There’s nothing guaranteeing that a colonial violence machine won’t be turned on anyone it perceives as a threat, non-compliant, seeking to limit the power of authority.

That’s what happens when you don’t speak up when that violence is focused on others.

A lack of clean water on reserve is a …

The disbelief I read daily about the government use of violence against people - my response is the same.

The system is designed around violence, the disbelief is because you’re not expecting it will ever be focused on you as one of the ‘good people’.

That’s not how it works.

I say this to express: this system was built FOR this.

If we want change, we must root it out. We need to return to our foundations. Talk to your local tribes.

Hey. Native here 👋🏽

The President declaring war on city-citizens is not surprising in the slightest. It was always going to lead here.

America did this to Natives. We knew any country without honor, without law, without order, without truth, would eventually declare war on its own too.

See a warehouse firm that outfits high end offices. They’ll have a bunch of models you can test there, maybe rent.

After cycling through a bunch I found Steelcase the best for me. Still using it.

Herman Miller we have in hotel stations at work are good as well.
