When I was a kid (300 years ago) our mitts would be tied / sewed to a string that would run inside the sleeves and jacket. Don't people do that anymore?

RIP to Jesse Jackson. His funeral is today. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.
For Canadians who aren’t aware, those guys are our homegrown ICE. Same role, same impunity, same behaviour.
The same police unit that arrested Wet'suwet'en land defenders and surveilled Fairy Creek demonstrators was monitoring the Palestine solidarity movement on BC campuses

A brown penguin chick of some kind. It looks very much like a man in a suit. It is bedraggled and miserable
Made it to Friday but at what cost
I get that. They didn’t volunteer. But the end result is the same: most of their marketing is baloney-based.
I was just about paying for a full @proton.me account and moving my email there. Well… I guess I’ll keep looking for a new provider
I saw on r/nursing this week that a nurse reported a colleague for wearing meta glasses to work. That has a billion HIPAA and other legal violations written ALL over it and that person should be fired
I have the attention span of a lemming.
Not that I know much about lemmings.
But by the time I'd look it up, I'd have already forgotten what I was searching for.
#OtD 3 Mar 2000 former dictator Pinochet returned to Chile a free man after being released by Labour home secretary Jack Straw instead of being extradited to Spain on torture charges. He got a hero's welcome, while protesters were beaten by police stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1021...
Important new article from Drs Mayall, Hastings & Manns on the damaging implications of Alberta's legislation to introduce a two-tier system for *medically necessary* healthcare.
Essential to recognise that private streams *require* long public wait times in order to be profitable.
who made this
For both 2024 and 2025, the Israeli military was responsible for two-thirds of all press killings. “This shows the systematic pattern that Israel is using to silence the journalists, whether by killing them, targeting them, imprisoning them, intimidating them,
#OtD 27 Feb 1973 armed Native American activists occupied Wounded Knee, South Dakota, in protest at corruption and US treaty breaches with Native Americans. Despite state violence and killings they held out for 71 days and galvanised huge support stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9898...
Le Québec est la seule province au Canada qui continue à défendre un modèle de pratique IPS centré sur la supervision médicale. La médiocrité est un choix. Mais c'est un choix qui coûte cher.
Long Covid ruled as occupational disease in nurses

Long Covid confirmed as an occupational disease in nurses. Keystone-SDA Baloise Insurance must recognise the Long Covid disease…
This one hits hard.
Nice to see that pedestrians are bollard proof @worldbollardassoc.bsky.social
As tu lu le roman de François Blais "La seule chose qui intéresse tout le monde" www.agol.ca/suggestions-...
Comme tout que ce François Blais a écrit ça vaut la peine d'être lu. Et le résumé ne donne aucune idée de ce qu'est le livre
L’une des pubs les plus déprimantes qui m’ait été donné de voir dans ma vie.
On vit à une bien triste époque.
Le #QC *aurait* (très gros conditionnel) décidé de rémunérer les médecins de famille par capitation. Mais personne ne semble savoir comment ça fonctionnerait.
Ce qui est ironique c’est que l’#AB vient de lancer un programme de capitation pour ses IPS. It ain't rocket science guys @fmoq.bsky.social
"are becoming"
Lol
Primary care in BC needs structural reform
In 2026-27, spending on doctors is projected to increase by 9.3 per cent—the largest increase within the health care budget. But BC continues to increase MD pay, rather than offering structural reform like evidence-based community health centres 2/

Alberta is trying to legitimize the creation of a private health insurance market for medically necessary care by falsely claiming its two-tier health care plan is comparable to western European and Australian models

Euh... @sante.quebec, comment on dit "lost the plot" en français? Est-ce que vous avez regardé autour de vous? www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/art...
An Israeli org praised by the country’s politicians is trying to get @readthemaple.com shut down. Shurat HaDin has claimed to have issued legal notices to payment processors and written to multiple legal and police bodies “calling for a criminal investigation.” An abhorrent attack on the press.
Does academia select for sociopaths, or does it reward sociopathic behavior?
Bernard... Je pensais que t'étais juste un mononcle un peu épais.
Ben non. T'es pire que ça... T'es le genre de mononcle qui passe trop de temps sur Facebook pis qui répète les niaiseries de Trump.
Déprimant
Fact check: Alberta’s new two-tier system is not “European” health care

Pour les médecins du Québec qui idéalisent la situation en BC, c'est la meilleure analyse que j'ai lue sur le sujet
