That’s right! Diverting food & feed crops (or the land needed to grow them) to meet increasing biofuel targets or mandates means that other lands somewhere else need to be brought into production. And clearing forests, savannas, grasslands, and wetlands for crop production causes…
CO2 emissions.
The @saferairproject.bsky.social argues that airborne diseases remain a major health & economic burden - calling for national IAQ performance standards, real‑time monitoring, & ventilation upgrades across public spaces to reduce infections & protect those vulnerable.

Fructose excess intake likely significant underlying root cause MASH.
Should the fix be

It was Ontario Conservatives’ plan to support multiple naive private (friends?) start -ups in parallel competition free enterprise to allow “the market” to determine winners- as expected we all lost! UK NHS excellent pre-existing example totally ignored
Pap smear test excuse is gone now HPV testing is finally antigen based ( and could be self administered as Finns 🇫🇮 proved 2 decades ago)…ASA probably riskier than current OCP #thePill ?
And also Japan?
Work of nice ladies

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Other countries have safety nets. The US has women.
Their labor creates the illusion of a DIY society, making it seem like we don't need a net.

United States Completes WHO Withdrawal WASHINGTON — January 22, 2026 — The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of State today announced the United States’ completion of its withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO) due to the organization's mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic that arose out of Wuhan, China, its failure to adopt urgently needed reforms, and its inability to demonstrate independence from the inappropriate political influence of WHO member states.
The United States has officially withdrawn from the World Health Organization.
This is a shameful move that puts both Americans and people all over the world at greater risk from disease outbreaks, which require international collaboration to contain.
Students with exceptional maximum academic skills &abilities most likely to turn off & drop out of education if not challenged & supported -not a group we can afford to lose….their job in class is NOT as teacher assistant trying to bring others to lowest common denominator @mattgalloway.bsky.social
Let me join @joshuasweitz.bsky.social in congratulating @standupforscience.bsky.social and @cdelawalla.bsky.social
In their 10 months, they have done as much or more than any organization that I know of. It is great that pro-science and pro-democracy forces around the world are taking notice!
I am once again begging everyone to understand that a budget surplus does not signify fiscal responsibility but irresponsible underinvestment.

One thing to note in this obit is how *ice-cold* - and I say that with admiration - the civil rights movement was in deciding to push her aside in favor of Rosa Parks.
You can hate it, but it was a hard-assed strategic decision that put winning over feelings.

Happy Birthday, Wab Kinew - but it was my bday first :P
The number one question on my mind is: how can we ensure that we build just, non-carceral societies around millions of people who are displaced due to climate change?
Because this is our now, and it's our future.
