A brief thread on the interference with humanitarian aid to conflict zones.

Interfering with the ability of people trapped in conflict zones, to access food or healthcare,

is

Please share these posts widely to help increase understanding in our STEM community of the risk of watering down codes of conduct, particularly where these govern the behaviour of powerful people.

Following coverage over the weekend of Sir Paul Nurse's comments that suggested that the only reason that a Fellow should be expelled from @royalsociety.org is scientific misconduct, I have written to him to explain the risks such an attitude poses of increasing sexual harassment in STEM.

this one hurts. honestly one of the most slept on rappers and producers from the 90s - the years he was locked up messed with the timing of his rise career wise. still a big part of some of the most iconic music of his eras. RIP

Just a reminder that the senior VP of Third Way put one of the most embarrassing moments in political history at the top of his bio.

These people do not know how to win.

Ladies and gentlemen, if you will direct your attention to the eyepiece, form a line to observe, you will note that each sperm in the sample wears a t-shirt, designed by my wife, saying NORMAL SPERM, SUITABLE FOR FERTILIZING and what could be clearer than that about this all being normal

My latest for The Tyee! Video coming soon :)

Long story short: why the fuck are our politicians not even trying to properly move, en masse, off a platform that is now the top creator of AI deepfakes, non-consensually violating women and kids?

I also spoke with a victim.

Her story is powerful:
“Seeing the bikini one was incredibly violating, but then seeing that they could ultimately create a full nude of me felt so embarrassing and so shameful.”

The mass expulsion of Somali refugees is an affront to god and humanity. Down with the Trump regime!
The Trump administration is ending temporary protected status for Somali immigrants, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed.

Somali immigrants in the U.S. with TPS must leave the country by March 17, she said. nbcnews.to/3LscuRW

The healthcare that we need includes Overdose Prevention Sites.

Now.

The Federal government is a willing accomplice in Doug Ford's efforts to shut down Overdose Prevention Sites and will be until it stops requiring federal exemptions from Health Canada to operate a Site.
Canada’s new government is investing $5 billion over three years in new and upgraded hospitals, emergency rooms, and urgent care centres — so you can get the healthcare you need, when you need it.
