“Word on the Ottawa streets is that Conservative leader, and likely next prime minister, Pierre Poilievre, has now finished crafting his plan for the CBC. This week, I was told by a well-placed Conservative that Poilievre intends to eliminate all funding for the English arm of the broadcaster. And that he’ll do it in his first 100 days in office.”

In a move of sheer policy lunacy, the Ford Conservative government is defunding wastewater testing in 3 days, on July 31st. Stupid is the new smart in Ontario public policy. Take a look the the curve below. publichealthontario.ca/en/Data-and-An…

@marshalhedin A wonderful trip! A privilege to accompany such an accomplished natural historian, arachnologist, and evolutionary biologist. Also, in this photo I need to be holding a pipe.

@WayneMaddison Thanks! From Gunung Trusmadi, Sabah. Unfortunately the specimen escaped after 2 shots. But I heard that someone shot this at the same place a year ago so there's a decent chance to find it again the next time we visit.

As we shift our lives, livelihoods, and identities more and more into the virtual world, journalists will become ever more important at the front lines in wars over information. I hope that many aspiring journalists model their values after @edyong209's.

How @edyong209 seeks truth in service of compassion is inspiring. I know he would say the true heroes are those fighting #longCOVID and #MECFS, but the community thanks you, Ed, for being the voice of voices.

Hello class! This is a bottle of Bitrex solution. It is the bitterest tasting substance known to science. I have filled this nebulizer with it. *turns on nebulizer, stream of particles shoots out* 🧵

@StephenBHeard The first thought of old time programmers like me will be that it was 2^15+(true distance) but it's still about 3000 miles too far!

Air Canada's estimate of 35,674 miles for our flight from Montreal to Chicago seems just a tad off, but what so I know? Maybe we were flying really, really, really fast 🤣
