I just can't get over Einstein guy's comment about horses. Like, does he really think that when horses stopped pulling carriages, they were all let loose to live their lives frolicking amongst the clover fields? Seriously? This is who is designing your cheatomatic?

Yeah the latter is just so awful and I’m glad to hear it’s down, at least temporarily.

Anyone found to have improperly used a restroom or other private space in a government building would face a written warning for a first violation. A second violation would carry a $1,000 fine, and each subsequent violation would be a misdemeanor offense punishable by another fine and up to six months in jail. Anyone who believes someone used the wrong restroom in their presence could file a complaint seeking $1,000. "This whole deputization thing — it turns Kansas residents into Dog the Bounty Hunter," Lawson said. "So now I have to worry about people watching me walk into the ladies' room, and then oh, they're going to call in a $1,000 bounty on me. That is just so, so wrong on so many levels.

In addition to its draconian measure on drivers licenses, the state of Kansas is offering $1,000 bounties to citizens who want to report that a transgender person is using the “wrong” bathroom.

Jen Gerson: Sure, put all of the questions on the ballot. Why not? What could go wrong? Danielle Smith's planned referendum isn't just dumb, it's incredibly risky.

Study in Nature that just came out shows a 51 PERCENT drop in Dementia post Shingrix vaccine. That is earth shattering. 19% drop was reported from the older+ less effective vaccine given up to 2019. Whew. So glad I got mine already!

Calgary cancer patients lose access to after-hours oncology support line | CBC News A Calgarian living with terminal cancer is calling on health officials in Alberta to restore access to after-hours specialist care for patients of the province’s largest cancer centre.

I hope AB reverses this decision, I was able to avoid the ER at least once (maybe twice?) during chemo because I could talk to a dr who could tell me my condition would be ok without going. Health link is good for some things but I’m sure they would have sent me in www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
