Oliver Burkeman is my absolute favourite thinker & reading his stuff has completely shifted my perspective on work & productivity. Maybe it’s because his brain was also shaped by journalism but I recommend his work to everyone I care about and have for years

First step to tackle misinformation?

Understand and accept the truth of what’s happening.

Step two? Take action from where you are.

That’s what we’re doing at @cmadocs.bsky.social to push back on false health misinformation.

What could you do to fight back?

We’ve got work to do 💫 -30–

Misinformation isn’t a hopeless problem that’s escaped our grasp. There are solutions.

BUT - There won’t be one silver bullet. It’s going to take all of us 🧵 2/3

An important editorial from the Globe on the dangers of misinformation & the way AI is accelerating the issue. The great news is we have a ton of research and insight across sectors and from intitiatives here in Canada & around the world on what we can do about it 🧵 1/3

The Jeff Wall exhibit at the MOCA Toronto is really cool. Photographic wizardry accomplished well before AI making it all the more spectacular

Divorce-Curious? Here Are 10 Truths No One Tells You What you can expect, along with a few surprises you’ll never see coming.

All of this is true. In the nearly ten years since I’ve been divorced I continue be tapped as a relationship disaster sherpa & the writing I’ve done about it still illicits curiosity. Marriage is a narrative, a product of the systems around us & worth questioning. www.oprahdaily.com/life/relatio...

Meeting patients where they are: Why medical training must include social media literacy - Healthy Debate Some medical schools are beginning to explore digital health communication, but comprehensive social media literacy training remains the exception rather than standard practice.

Completely agree. We’re doing some of this work at CMA but all health care institutions need to respond with support healthydebate.ca/2025/11/topi...

Online harassment is silencing Canada’s health experts — institutions need to do more to protect them If Canada wants to get ahead of the next health crisis, it needs to shield its scientists and researchers from online abuse.

This article by UBC researchers is so important. The time for institutions to take action to protect experts & to make being smart cool again is right now. theconversation.com/online-haras...

How CBC News will use AI responsibly to benefit our journalism — and keep your trust | CBC News CBC is launching a new campaign aimed at reminding Canadians how our journalism can provide a safe harbour from the fake news and AI-generated content roiling through our feeds. As the campaign begins...

Love this transparency from @brodiefenlon.bsky.social & CBC. The dance with AI is a tricky thing. There are great things about it & elements that will no doubt disrupt everything we know about our information environment. As we figure things out, we owe audiences context www.cbc.ca/news/editors...

90% of deep fake images online are non-consensual pornographic images of women and girls.

And yet, these images are not yet illegal in Canada.

Ottawa urged to regulate AI chatbots in forthcoming online safety bill Academic experts, advocates say new bill must take action to rein in the technology, particularly when interacting with children

Fantastic to see the Carney government headed towards reintroducing online safety legislation in the new year. It's something the @cmadocs.bsky.social has been advocating for awhile & critically important to protect the safety of Canadians (especially kids). www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

WTF, @theatlanticpr.bsky.social ?

Why give this anti-science, lying, grifter this kinda positive framing?

He is a disaster. Period.

False balance disaster👇

No more feminist foreign policy, Carney says Prime Minister, who made the comments at the G20 summit in Johannesburg, has placed less emphasis on feminist policies than the Trudeau government

His comments are way more nuanced than the lead suggests. Polarizing language makes it almost impossible to keep a big inclusive tent. It’s a shame because women (including me) are generally very upset right now about *everything* and this won’t go over well www.theglobeandmail.com/world/articl...

Me in the gym! Working hard! Not giving up!

I like to call my gym routine - well, to be fair, all the ways I take care of myself at 50 - my favourite infrastructure project. There’s no glamour in the daily promises you keep to yourself but the strength part (mental & physical) is definitely cumulative. Keep going 🖤

A little louder for the folks in the back. I ran to get my daughter this vaccine and you should too. Any woman who’s been through cervical cancer stuff can tell you exactly why.
