The road to hell is paved with pseudoscience—constructed by personal anecdotes, conspiracy theories, and narcissism.
@googlenonprofit @WeArePercent-- can't understand why a nonprofit I support is not eligible for Workspace. I submitted documents that show we i) are a reg. nonprofit in Ontario, Canada ii) we have a Revenue Canada number and iii) I am an officer of the org. 1/2
While #Canada burns, maybe a better article for young people (& old) would be i) a historical overview of the political parties & corporations whose actions/inactions have fuelled climate change & ii) current parties'/corps.' policies/actions? @CBCNews

Warnings of melting ice caps, rising sea levels, acidification of water sources, rising temperatures etc. In a report to the US president. By a long list of brainiacs. In 1965. 1/3

Given the results, society must determine how to appropriately allocate #semaglutide. Therefore, we must identify individuals most likely to benefit from this life-altering therapy.📸via NYT
So @CBCNews and @LaurenPelley get "immunity" into the subhead, and inject a fair bit of "let's just live with it" into the article, but in ~1500 words they make not a single mention of long #COVID and other lasting effects of infection.

Hey @Nasa @SpaceX @blueorigin @virgingalactic @elonmusk: A group of 10 and 11 yr old @HWDSB students wrote a book this year: How to Move to Mars. They did their own research and writing, and it’s pretty great! hwdsb.on.ca/dundascentral/20…
