Microplastics don’t just pollute; they carry harmful chemicals. In #Celegans, this combo reduced lifespan & reproduction.

Great @wired.com reporting on the growing movement against online "age verification" legislation

(aka government mandated ID checks and face scans to access apps, websites and information online)

Congrats to my colleague @sarahephilips.bsky.social leading work on this.
The Age-Gated Internet Is Sweeping the US. Activists Are Fighting Back
Half of the country now requires age verification to watch porn or access “harmful” content. Digital rights advocates are pushing back against legislation they say will make the internet less safe.

one of my favourite games to play is called "see if NVIDIA's statements make any sense." This is a good example of one that does not: this is from its Q1FY2026 (May) earnings, and would equate to 72MW of IT load per week, or 3.7GW a year. This hasn't happened. It isn't happening.

No word from Rustad yet

Sounds like motions have been made to remove Rustad as BC Conservative party leader and put Trevor Halford in as interim leader

Unclear who the BC Conservative **caucus** leader and head of the official opposition is

Halford said he'll have more to say shortly #bcpoli
Whelp! The BC Conservative party's Twitter account says Rustad has been removed as leader because he is "professionally incapacitated"

Unclear whether that's actually in line with the party constitution

Per the release, Trevor Halford selected to serve as interim leader #bcpoli

The BC Conservative Party just announced they have removed John Rustad as their party leader.

Comes hours after Rustad said he was staying on despite 20 MLAs calling for his removal, arguing there was no mechanism for the party to turf him as leader after winning his leadership review.
