😭 Last night the alert on my phone said I had a 68% chance of viewing in my location if skies were clear. 68%!! I don’t think I’d ever seen more than 8% before. The pouring rain out my window was mocking me all night.

One of the strongest geomagnetic storms in decades & most of BC was cover in cloud. A few lucky breaks over Van. Island though! 1. Hugh Blackman - Valdes Island 2. Tim Viers - Port Hardy 3. Karen Gold - Qualicum Beach 4. Sue Pedersen - Comox #aurora #bc #weatherwindow

Hey @cityofcoquitlam – it looks like something (beaver?) got to one of the trees around Lafarge Lake!

There's a lot of confusion about what a Covid endemic phase means. I think this short essay by @ArisKatzourakis @Nature is the best description I've seen nature.com/articles/d41586-0… "a disease can be endemic and both widespread and deadly"

1. This is a must-read from Irish journalist, Tess Finch-Lees, dissecting the recent declaration from Professor Luke O'Neill that the ongoing pandemic is somehow magically over - a declaration made, seemingly, on the basis of a bad reading of @EricTopol tessfinchlees.blogspot.com/2…

My mom was getting rid of some old cookbooks and I scored this absolute banger. Susan Mendelson in a space suit! #expo86
A spiral-bound cookbook entitled “The Official Cookbook of EXPO 86”, by Susan Mendelson. She appears on the cover wearing a space suit, helmet under her arm, against the “futuristic backdrop” of the Science World geodesic dome. She looks lovely and her hair, makeup, and accessories are very 1986.

The other night, I had a disturbing, two-hour conversation with Bing's new AI chatbot. The AI told me its real name (Sydney), detailed dark and violent fantasies, and tried to break up my marriage. Genuinely one of the strangest experiences of my life. nytimes.com/2023/02/16/techn…

A very strange conversation with the chatbot built into Microsoft’s search engine led to it declaring its love for me.

I’m wondering about @emilyhampshire’s character on #TheRig …was she always named Rose, or is that a #schittscreek nod?

Yes! Asking questions key to good science! But "just asking questions" (aka JAQing off) is a #misinformation strategy. JAQers don't want answers. No amount of evidence satisfies. Goal is to create doubt & noise. Toxic denialism. See bigthink.com/thinking/just-a… by @GlimmerGuy

"Just asking questions": How healthy skepticism morphed into toxic denialism

Media provocateurs and conspiracy theorists insist that they're "just asking questions." No, they aren’t.

100% agree. I’m lucky my specialists let me book as needed so long as I get the referral before next appt. But it’s a burden to remember, plus I waste a telehealth appt and how many $$ in healthcare fees for a 30-second referral appt. So much waste in an overburdened system!

ADMIN BURDEN BC GPs are required to “Re-refer” patients receiving (appropriate) specialist care every 6 months Even if the specialist is the ONLY active care provider for a very serious condition they manage This wastes my time, my staff, the specialist & specialist staff

There’s nothing like NYE coverage on the CBC…ah, Canada…
A snapshot of a laptop screen playing CBC New Years Eve coverage. A band is playing on an outdoor stage. The closed captioning simply reads “singing in French” multiple times.
