Just came across a post that made me realize I never introduced myself here.
I'm Camila, former #biomedical #scientist now supporting #startups and collaborations in #innovation.
I'm a Canadian currently living in Europe, and as you can see from my pic, I don't believe #COVID is over.

Imagine going back one month in time and telling any of the people who have been agitating about Epstein that, actually, governments and media all around the world would shrug their shoulders when Musk's platform became a prolific creator and distributor of CSAM, or essentially pedophile haven

💯 Worth noting, as well, that just because Maduro was himself an "undesirable" does not justify breaching the UN Charter. If we are to have the rule of law, it must apply everywhere equally - just like due process applies to criminals, not just to the innocent.
Whether or not states like Canada lack the spine, let alone elbows, to say so, American actions in Venezuela are an unambiguous violation of the UN Charter’s prohibitions on the unilateral use of force. justiceinconflict.org/2026/01/03/v... #Venezuela
Violating international law to get rid of dictators is alluring but wrong – and dangerous

I understand that the US is not a signatory to this, but what exactly stops them being charged? This is no longer the world of 2003, and the US is no longer a trusted ally for most of the world, so the calculation on avoiding the optics of a possible invasion of the Hague must be quite different now
I am once again insisting that the US must submit to the jurisdiction of the ICJ.

Ok, so US trade BS is (hopefully finally!!!) over, the AI bubble is coming, and Canada's housing bubble is well on its way to popping. Harper was a POS, but his policies, and Carney's at the Bank of Canada, did manage to somewhat protect Canada from the last "1x/century crash"). What's the plan now?

I know I'm ignoring a lot of other data here, but damn, if it isn't sadly hilarious to frame "(some) men are finally making as little as women" as a tragedy for the men, and not for the women who have seen absolutely no progress

This is the worst framing I've ever seen. This "trade war" is not between the US and China, it's between the US and the rest of the world. What else could Latin America do? Side with the guy currently attacking them?

I'm sorry, did this idiot say Harvard has $52 million dollars and that should be enough? I'm pretty sure my PhD cost about $1.5 million over 5 years, not including any infrastructure costs.
So I guess, good luck to the 30-35 PhD students Harvard will train until 2030! Godspeed!

Politics has been central to Elon Musk’s identity over much of the past year, but his latest obsession has faded into disenchantment over the personal costs and difficulties in producing results, said two people familiar with his thinking in recent months.
Tired of political attacks, Musk turns back to Mars and autonomous cars
As he retreats from Washington, Elon Musk says he will spend “a lot less” on politics. Close advisers says he is eager to return to prior obsessions.

This is awful, but also kind of hilarious that it has happened repeatedly, with little fuss, and only once they stepped into the literary world did it become a scandal (but also, wow, way to embody all the worst things that concern people about AI use)
