My dog gets spooked when we cross over the Barrie line at Dundas. Maybe he thinks it’s haunted? Should I submit a 311 ticket to check for ghosts? 🧐👻

Earlier this month, WIRED reported on Grammarly’s controversial AI tool that presented editing suggestions as if they came from established authors and academics, without their consent.
Now Grammarly parent company Superhuman is facing a class action lawsuit over the tool.
In 2026, only 28 countries are led by a woman Head of State or Government; 101 countries have never had a woman leader. 14 countries have gender parity in cabinets, demonstrating that equal representation is possible. Yet 8 have no women ministers at all. www.unwomen.org/en/news-stor...
The book goes into lots of details about her life, these are by no means the most important details, they just stood out to me.
I personally liked Just Kids a bit more… the stories of struggling and creative life in NYC at that time were fascinating to me.
Almost finished Patti Smith’s latest memoir and two details stand out.
1- she was often ill as a child, it wasn’t that long ago that vaccines became available!
2- she treasured her clothes and kept wearing them for photos, special events and on stage.

Yes, there are a whole bunch of papers that show it should be retracted… the problems are also laid out in the emperor of all maladies, which is a book that won the Pulitzer Prize. This is well known to be wrong and in need of retraction.
I’m so over the persistent mindset of the medical comm’y not wanting to “panic” patients/the public when it comes to health concerns/threats.
Have you ever seen a woman manage stressful situations? Those are our wheelhouse!
Give us the info until WE decide it’s too much.

Wharton Willie dying in his sleep after predicting an early spring is the most suspicious thing we've heard all year.
This junk isn’t even behind a paywall. It’s so disappointing that @utoronto.ca and @cmaj.ca can’t be bothered to identify this as an huge error and retract it. As long as it stands it will continue to kill young women. www.researchgate.net/publication/...
It boggles the mind that this has not been retracted. This is Wakefield level incompetence or fraud at this point. So many young women, dead from a treatable cancer every year in Canada because of the gatekeeping of mammograms that started with this. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadia...
It doesn’t matter if your colleagues are friendly and you respect some aspects of their work. If they are failing when it comes to correcting errors and retracting bad papers and guidance they are likely doing more harm than good.
I don’t understand why few doctors and scientists confront the misinformation from within institutions we’re meant to trust.
The misinformation that harmed my own health was from a health Canada task force. That the harm of worry from a biopsy that may have turned out to be nothing would be worse than the harm of a late breast cancer diagnosis.
There's a lot of misinformation out there about COVID. We like to pretend that it's only uneducated people who fall for it, but initial "inside the house" misinfo around the denial of aerosol transmission is now motivating minimization of the consequences of that error.

One of the examples he works through is why the Canadian task force got breast cancer screening guidelines wrong for women in their 40s and why they are so hard to fix. bsky.app/profile/path...
You did a great job on this. Clear, accurate, accessible and friendly. I think this kind of communication will help people who really need this information.

Grateful to have access to high quality #cancerScreening. Early detection saves lives.
🧠 Know your family history.
🧠 Know your breast density.
🧠 Know your risk.
Ooh this is so interesting, I’m listening to Paris talk radio now.
How am I just learning about this website now? This is insanely fun. You can just click around the world hearing different live radio streams.

It seems strange to me that they wish to expand when the UP Express probably makes YYZ more convenient than YTZ for most people. Billy Bishop is a neat experience and provides cool views but Pearson seems like it has enough capacity for jets.
The best curling shot I've ever seen!

Last days of this… it’s really good. www.gallery.ca/whats-on/exh...
This is what we need right now. Political leaders with a combination of solid principles and moral courage.
Ah ok!
Night shifts are supposed to be really hard on people. I guess it’s validating to know that your struggles with sleep have an explanation, especially if it’s actionable for you (like if you can adjust your work schedule permanently)
I just saw a pic of the temporary bleachers at BMO field and… are they even serious? www.reddit.com/r/toronto/s/...
The news came out here while she was answering questions in a press conference, someone linked the live feed and it was so weird.
This seems helpful. You can even stream news from around the world from within the app to dive deeper when something is happening. I put a shortcut on my home screen to keep trying it out. www.worldmonitor.app
Oh wow, I slept so well. When you’re out of shape you can get those long run benefits from a silly little jog.
