So. Many. Things. Wrong. In. Medical. Shows.

Endangered species in Ontario are under threat in the form of Bill 5.

If passed, it would scrap the ESA & create “special economic zones” where developers are exempt from provincial regulations. It also could trample Indigenous rights.

AI steals from creators and burns environmental resources.

The government is about to give OpenAI the ability to legally steal if we do not flood this page in the next 12 hours.

OpenAI will have immunity from all lawsuits regarding copyright infringement. All other AI companies will follow.

Ramadan Mubarek. I was in Cairo in 2019 during Ramadan. After sunset, the lights came on, and a man passed out juice boxes at the intersection. I took one and thanked him sincerely. This was even more precious in a place where you’re not supposed to drink the water.
