Measles can ravage the immune system and brain, causing long-term damage – a virologist explains
Complications from measles infection are surprisingly common.

Removing a monument honoring Black US soldiers has nothing to do with DEI. It’s erasure of history and it’s straight-up racism.

The AI job takeover in the music aspect is real. Most of us have seen our royalties diminish. However, the human aspect of wanting to create for the sake of creation won’t go away anytime soon. It will be interesting to see how regulations and policy plays out over the next few years.
Worried about AI musicians taking over from humans? We should be. The robots are already here. #musicnews

BUY SOMETHING!
Is it truly social media anymore? Or is it more like selling media? It invades everything.
It's obvious to wealthiest and most powerful people on the planet don't care for nature, climate, the earth or the universe.
So I painted the invasive nature of ads in nature.

Australia has so much solar power that they're offering free electricity during peak hours because solar power is so cheap.
Here in Ontario, Doug Ford is doubling down on nuclear, which is the most expensive form of electricity. And subsidizing it with our tax dollars.

Let’s also add for council to not play games on their phones when people do deputations 👀
I am reviewing a 2024 Hamilton Committee of Adjustment video
I now see that one of the delegates at that meeting was driving a motor vehicle while delegating
Hamilton City Council is the only municipal government which permits distracted driving during its meetings
I wrote on this recently #HamOnt
