A shadow war on libraries cbc.ca/newsinteract...

Some Canadian politicians and influencers, inspired by an American-born movement, are trying to roll back 2SLGBTQ+ rights in Canada — one book at a time.

The pub "Science, Public Health Policy and the Law" is NOT a respected academic journal.

🚩MAJOR RED FLAG!🚩

An antivaxx fanzine run by antivaxxers. Consistently contains often debunked antivaxx nonsense.

Good example of how academic literature is getting polluted with BS.

Love your people. Dig the art that speaks to you. Go to the places where life flows into you. You deserve joy.

Well between what the apps are doing to keep their engagement numbers up (they really don’t seem to like users or content creators) and how you have to twist yourself into a pretzel to be seen, I can understand why you feel icky.

Could Meta ending fact-checking lead to rise in health misinformation? Meta announced this week it was ending third-party fact-checking and moving towards community notes. Some experts fear it could lead to a rise in health misinformation.
