Today...“Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?” ― Rachel Carson, Silent Spring 1962

It is and always was Fake Intelligence backed by grifters who are all in, so expect the grifting to accelerate.

Canada falling short on access to doctors, hospital beds, MRIs and CT scanners: study The Fraser Institute released a new study on Tuesday that found Canada has fewer doctors, hospital beds, MRI machines and CT scanners compared to other countries with universal health care, despite hi...

Why are you platforming the Fraser Institute @ctvnewsatlantic.bsky.social?

Also, it is not news that Canada lack doctors & scans.

So:
1. don't give oxygen to a right-wing propaganda organ
2. if the Fraser Institute is banging on about it, mention they want to privatize health

None of these media sources should be trusted. All have been found to be spreading misinformation.

For Americans..."We simply haven’t yet found the intellectual courage to face it."

In case you weren't sure a petulant little boy was in charge...you have reached the poop fascination that happens with potty training.

Congratulations USA. I hope your thus far quiet friends & family heard you

Separated Bike Lanes Means Safer Streets, Study Says — Streetsblog USA Cities that build protected lanes for cyclists end up with safer roads for people on bikes and people in cars and on foot, a new study of 12 large metropolises revealed Wednesday.

Another reminder that a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.

ALL ROAD USERS.

And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.

For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

Elon Musk’s Boring Co. Accused of Nearly 800 Environmental Violations on Las Vegas Project Nevada could’ve fined the company more than $3 million, but regulators are seeking a reduced penalty of $242,800, citing an “extraordinary number of violations.”

AI is great, except in the hands of the tech bros who collectively have yet to demonstrate any semblance of humanity.

Not Every Idea Deserves Equal Time A classic critique shows how creationists’ calls for “equal time” in classrooms blurred the line between legitimate scientific debate and intellectual imposture.

Today's attacks on science are repeats of this failed attempt.
"The danger, then as now, was that the call for “balance” was rhetorically powerful but intellectually hollow."

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

Science 101. Correlation does not equal causation. Tylenol aka paracetamol doesn’t cause autism. A correlation can lead to all sorts of causal fallacy. Like so. 👇

Always reinvigorating when a politician acts with integrity. Thanks @ernieklassen-mp.bsky.social.

Trump links autism and Tylenol: is there any truth to it? The US president repeatedly advised people, “Don't take Tylenol,” but scientists say that strong evidence between the medication and autism is lacking.

The actual studies summarized - no link nothing nada null zilche www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Acetaminophen Use During Pregnancy and Children’s Risk of Autism, ADHD, and Intellectual Disability This nationwide cohort study with sibling control analysis examines the association of acetaminophen use during pregnancy with children’s risk of autism, ADHD, and intellectual disability.

AUTISM and TYLENOL

A study of 2.5 million children showed a small association between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and autism—but this finding DISAPPEARED when full siblings were compared.

“Acetaminophen use during pregnancy was not associated with children’s risk of autism…”

Poilievre lies about sensible gun laws to get you angry over something that isn't real. No one is taking basic hunting rifles away from game hunters. If you need an assault weapon you're a shitty hunter. This is rage bait. All that MAGA CPC has to offer.

Let's cheer the Canadian women dominating world rugby. They had to crowd source to raise the money to even get into the tournament. Nobody took them seriously. They crushed the New Zealand giants. They are going into the finals.
Come on fellow Canucks - is the real miracle team.
So proud.

FYI that’s 🇨🇦 satire 😊

AI has value, just not the level of hype that overwhelms us today. Randomly 16 to 40% false outcomes for the best of the best because of computational limits. Humans aren't smart enough to understand complexity of our world, we have computational limits and so too our machines.

Top Scientists Find Growing Evidence That Greenhouse Gases Are, in Fact, a Danger

"National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine, found that the evidence linking rising emissions to negative human health outcomes is beyond scientific dispute.” - now lets see how this gets spun by the Trumpians... www.nytimes.com/2025/09/17/c...
