People with the most severe #LongCOVID symptoms represent the most clinically urgent population, yet they remain absent from the evidence base that guides care. They are not beyond the reach of science; they are where real progress begins.

A young person lies in bed in a dark room, with an eye mask over their face and earplugs in. The text reads, "The Sick Times. Severe people may hold answers to Long COVID. They must be included in research. By Sevda Sarıkaya." "The most severely affected are not on the margins of Long COVID; they represent its truest and most revealing form. The future of Long COVID research will be measured not by how many trials are launched, but by how many lives they truly represent." - Sevda Sarıkaya, Severe people may hold answers to Long COVID. They must be included in research.

Because AI is such a divisive topic, many individuals and businesses aren't transparent about such use. But hiding use is typically worse for everyone involved.

Poet Dave Malone proposes a transparency statement for those using AI as part of the creative process.
Writers and Artists Need a Way to Label AI Use: Here’s What That Could Look Like | Jane Friedman
To encourage transparency among creators and audience, one writer suggests a simple, two-category system for labeling AI use in works of art.

I cannot stress enough that homelessness is caused by policy levers primarily at the provincial level.

And AMO's new report shows it: homelessness in Ontario rose 8% last year, with 85,000 people becoming homeless. 20,000 were youth and children.

Horrifying.

Marco Rubio, June 2012.
National Review article excerpt. It reads: "On the other hand, when I hear some people accuse immigrants of destroying the American economy and culture and stealing jobs from American citizens, it stirs my anger, too. I can’t stand to hear immigrants described in terms more appropriate to a plague of locusts than human beings. And although I believe they are a small minority, I begin to wonder if some of the people who speak so disparagingly about immigrants would be just as worked up if most of them were coming from Canada."

Navarro says it plainly like few others can.
Screenshot of a post on X by Marco Foster (@MarcoFoster_) quoting Ana Navarro calling it “ultimate hypocrisy,” contrasting January 6 insurrectionists being treated as patriots and pardoned with a woman who was unarmed and driving away being shot. Below the quote is a video still from The View showing Ana Navarro seated and speaking, wearing a light blue striped blouse, with a blurred outdoor scene behind her and a small timestamp “0:17” on the video thumbnail.

I am sympathetic to her desire to make the news more engaging and approachable, but inasmuch as her suggestions to make it more engaging and approachable appear to make it biased and servile, either she doesn't know how to do the first, or the second was actually always the not-so-covert goal.

Canada has the opportunity to help create a global tech landscape that isn’t dominated by US oligarchs.

That won’t happen if our political leaders refuse to quit toxic platforms like Twitter. What are they waiting for? #cdnpoli

Twitter is a litmus test for Canada
With Twitter, the medium really is the message — one that should be clearly unacceptable for our elected officials and political leaders.
