@aircanada.bsky.social I’m starting to think you’re running a Ponzi scheme with your Aeroplan. I’m SuperElite and have a truckload of those (worthless?) eUpgrade credits - but never an upgrade materialised.
Am I doing anything wrong? Too meek, too tall, unfamiliar with the mechanics of the lottery?

The Mad King and his equally insane court jester are burning America’s public health agency to the ground. We—all Americans—will pay a very dear price for this madness in the form of harm to our health.

Let’s hope Congress and the courts will intervene to

This article on Healthy Cities by @evdle.bsky.social might seem like ancient history but I really like it because it's so rare to find a clear articulation of the program theory, process, and outcomes of an agenda like Healthy Cities. I wish more people would do exactly this. We'd learn a lot.

Wat je vandaag ook leest; doe deze.

Dit is het Kamerlid van de PVV dat dus racistische AI afbeeldingen zit te maken en rond te pompen. Patrick Crijns. Onder de oppervlakte. Fantastisch werk van de Groene en Utrechtse data-onderzoekers. Wow. Lang leve de onderzoeksjournalistiek.

The Sorbonne ditches university rankings: https://benhr.xyz/2025/10/07/the-sorbonne-ditches-university-rankings.html

Sorbonne University decides to withdraw from the Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings

As of 2026, Sorbonne University will no longer submit data to the Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings. The decision comes as part of a wider approach to promote open science and reform research assessment, in accordance with the university’s commitment to the CoARA Agreement and the Barcelona Declaration. Sorbonne University is choosing open and transparent databases to assess its academic performance.

Alcohol death rates in Europe. Apparently very low in cultures where drunkenness is frowned upon and where alcohol is only consumed in company of others and served alongside meals. Spain and Italy for example. Source: buff.ly/3wDQcRz

#JobFairy - if you really are looking to get out, get away, the University of the South Pacific is looking for a historian. 5 years in the first instance, looks like mostly remote teaching though?

Problem is that the #PFAS family is large and diverse. They’re by-products of incredibly popular consumer goods and now have deposited, toxically, everywhere.
This afternoon I will argue that cities (www.onehealth.city #CERCUSSU) in particular need to be at the frontline of their governance.

Missed historical opportunities: Australia could’ve been Zuidland (or Södralandet).

We’d be ruled by Kong Carl XVI Gustaf (and soon-ish his Victoria) or Wim-Lex (and Amalia) instead of Charles.
At least they’d inserted some modernist social democracy into the place.
