Both house teens are now vaccinated & my pocketbook is $273.64 lighter. Thanks UCP 😒 My pharmacist said she was surprised at how much demand they've had for it, given the cost. We took the last 2 doses they had in stock today.

Another Australian coal company has announced that it has reached a settlement ($95 million)with the GoA over its compensation claims due to Alberta's coal policy flip flops.
Once again this info comes to AB taxpayers from the company website.
No disclosure from the GoA.

This is what I really worry about with #ProfoundAutism campaigns: "When parents believe 'profound' autism is a separate condition from “high functioning autism,” medical issues get overlooked, unaddressed—or written off as “behavior” or just “severe autism.”

Teens can learn a lot from social media, as they are happy to inform us.

But social media sources — some accurate, some not — can also lead them to conclude that they have ADHD, autism, borderline personality disorder, or another mental health diagnosis.

The prospect of climate tipping points freaks Earth system scientists out - for obvious reasons. But there is another concern about them; risks of activating tipping points is used to argue for geoengineering. My latest with @mandibissett.bsky.social
www.technosphere.earth/climate-tipp...

Climate tipping points should not be used to justify geoengineering

We are at a fork in the road. Crossing the first global tipping point should not be an excuse to lock in geoengineering, with its empty promises and spiralling risks.

In the 10 days since the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas was announced to take effect, the Israeli military has already repeatedly violated it. Al Jazeera reports that it has continued its genocide, killing nearly 100 Palestinians and wounding over 300 people.

🟡 The coffin of the deceased hostage, escorted by IDF troops, crossed the border into the State of Israel a short while ago and is on its way to the National Institute for Forensic Medicine, where identification procedures will be carried out.

IDF representatives are accompanying the family.

The IDF urges the public to act with sensitivity and wait for official identification, which will first be communicated to the families of the deceased hostages.
