At 72, my mother graduated from law school. This summer, alone in her study, she took her exams online. She was notified last month that she passed Barrister. We just got word today that she passed Solicitor!!! In January, she'll be called to the bar ♥️ TAKE THAT 2020!

Of course that's your contention. You're a first-year climate policy associate. You just got finished reading a classic environmental treatise—Arthur Pigou probably—and you're convinced that taxes are the most efficient way to address negative externalities.

Researchers pittted ChatGPT against genuine doctors, using actual patient questions. ChatGPT was more accurate and more empathetic. By a lot. HT @adamcifu jamanetwork.com/journals/jamai…

You love to see it!

It's my #Twitterversary! I have been on Twitter for 14 years, since 15 Jan 2009 (via @twi_age).

@hubermanlab Have had a hard time finding reliable info on the safety of cold plunge/showers in pregnancy. Any notes?

If you dread cold showers or a cold plunge first thing in the morning, you stand to benefit more, not less from the long lasting adrenaline & dopamine increase it triggers. No obligation; there are many other tools to select from. Avoid deliberate cold after workouts however.

i have not been able to stop thinking about this question since @autostraddle received it, and i really think that @theheatherhogan did an incredible job answering this with both compassion and necessary honesty: autostraddle.com/you-fat-shamed…

I object to this chart, because it turns out that the reconstruction of a single location based on an ice core drilled 40 years ago in Greenland that ends in 1885 is not a good representation of global temperatures. If we use hundreds of sites and proxy records worldwide we get:

That’s me on the cover of the @NelsonStarNews! Just trying to normalize winter bike riding in Nelson while wearing a Santa suit.🎅🏻 Merry Christmas to all and to all a good ride. #bicycles #santaride #nelsonbc #westkootenays #merrychristmas #activetransportation #climateaction

@BrittnyAnderso @AirCanada @KatrineConroy @rr4mla @Rob_Fleming Have taken a look and perhaps I'm missing where regional transit needs are addressed, aside from the reference to Northern BC?

@katesversion @AirCanada @KatrineConroy @rr4mla Hi Kate, you can learn more about our low carbon transit fleet program here: bctransit.com/about/sustaina… In @Rob_Fleming's mandate letter, transit and active transportation are key priorities. www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/go…

The Kootenay crew made it home!!! Thank you @AirCanada!!!

@BrittnyAnderso @AirCanada @KatrineConroy @rr4mla PS I've read that your majority gov't has a major budget surplus on its hands and that climate is a top priority... great timing for a visionary low carbon transit investment

@BrittnyAnderso @AirCanada @KatrineConroy @rr4mla To be clear - I'm not saying you shouldn't be flying, most ppl have to bc of the limited options. That's what needs fixing. I look forward to seeing concrete action from you on electric bus service in the region!
