He def had blues in his soul! I wrote about his music career here: www.kearneyfs.com/obituaries/l...
Like many Canadians, his death was hastened by Covid. Because of ableism, some may say "oh he had underlying conditions," but he was happy & living at home. The last pic he sent me was him smiling with his new kitten. After getting Covid, he couldn't text anymore & lived between the ER & LTC

Also, to be clear, these models are not the AI LLMs that most people are familiar with. They are machine learning algorithms trained on observations (actually reanalysis).
Saturday Opinion cartoon Flu Sarah Akinterinwa on surviving sickness season - cartoon THE 4 STAGES OF SURVIVING SICKNESS SEASON WHAT? A VIRUS CAN'T INFECT WHO IT CAN'T REACH STAGE 3: DENIAL IT'S JUST ALLERGIES IT'S JUST ALLERGIES IT'S JUST ALLERGIES. STAGE 1: PREPARE STAGE 2: DEFENCE STAGE 4: SURRENDER "COUGH COUGH* * HOLOS BREATH* "GASP!" I FOUGHT BRAVELY
Cartoon full of misinformation in the Guardian.
We have the tools to prevent sickness. The real denial is ignoring that high quality masks and vaccines reduce infections. This isnโt hard.
Thank you for creating it! ๐ Next time I have a dinner party with minimizers I think I'll have it subtly playing in the background, with volume decibels ever increasing as the evening goes on

Just as some country's (e.g. Finland), are finding that it is cheaper to house the unhoused than not, the world may eventually realise that it is cheaper to prevent #LongCOVID, than not -

28.11.2025 15:27 โ ๐ 74 ๐ 9 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0Toronto Star article excerpt from today on Carney's foreign policy: Carneyheads will tell you that none of this matters - that as long as the results are the same between a feminist foreign policy and a nonfeminist foreign policy, then that's all that counts. But the results can't possibly be the same if leadership signals that its priorities no longer explicitly include the equal economic, political, and social participation of women and girls in your foreign policy and your foreign aid.

I think itโs bad, actually, to play political chess with Indigenous rights.
