Italian Senator Carlo Calenda left Jeffrey Sachs literally speechless and shocked by calling him a liar and someone who repeats Russian propaganda narratives.
I believe this is exactly how public accountability should work - when a liar is called a liar.

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.
They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

Worth noting that when Health Canada says "with some viruses, such as SARS-CoV-2, transmission was also found to occur from particles remaining suspended in the air" they *by definition* mean transmission via aerosols ("a suspension of fine solid particles or liquid droplets in air or another gas").
It seems significant that the quacks who are responsible for hospital infection control guidelines being so far out of date are explicitly and unambiguously offside with Health Canada guidance.
