For the low, low price of just $0.99 per week you too can broaden your horizons.

Screenshot of the Globe and Mail. The headline reads "The problem with Bluesky: It won't broaden our horizons" and it's hidden behind a paywall offering to let you read it for $0.99 per week.

I don't think they're good but this is the sewage data for Montreal that the INSPQ has available. If 1 in 15 people in all of Quebec are currently infected then what were the numbers last December?

Surprisingly lucid headline from the CBC.

But sometimes it would be nice if BlueSky gave me an explanation of why I blocked someone (or at least told me who.)

Screenshot of @ladyscorcher.bsky.social post:

"If someone blocks you on social media they don't owe you an explanation, we're all just trying to live as well as we can in these hard times."

The post is a QT and the user being quoted has been blocked by me with no explanation of who it is by BlueSky, just the message "User Blocked"

I hate when those bullet bullies just come out of nowhere and start hitting people.

I tried making lunch from scratch (other than the noodles) and I'm not a fan of the colour. Not sure what herbs or spices I could use to make it look more appetizing and less earth tone.

Remember when they were trying to convince everyone about how great "hybrid immunity" was and that a previous infection was just as good as a first vax, if not better?

Thirty-two studies with 775,931 individuals evaluated the effect of vaccination on post-COVID conditions, of which, twenty-four studies were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled DOR for post-COVID conditions among fully vaccinated individuals was 0.680 (95% CI: 0.523–0.885) with an estimated VE of 32.0% (11.5%–47.7%). Vaccine effectiveness was 36.9% (23.1%–48.2%) among those who received two doses of COVID-19 vaccine before COVID-19 infection and 68.7% (64.7%–72.2%) among those who received three doses before COVID-19 infection. The stratified analysis demonstrated no protection against post-COVID conditions among those who received COVID-19 vaccination after COVID-19 infection.

The only data in this article says the Australian flu season started 2 weeks early and had a surge in children hospitalized with the flu. montrealgazette.com/news/local-n...

Headline: Feared triple threat of flu, RSV and COVID won't hit kids hard this year: experts
Byline: "We should be seeing something more of a regular respiratory season," according to Montreal pediatrician Caroline Quach-Thanh

Current status of the healthcare system: Pediatricians aren't sanctioned for seeing children. Maybe.

"To my knowledge, there are no consequences in terms of sanctions," she tells CTV News. "There's no payment [from the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ)] if they see healthy children, but there are no sanctions."

Huh. That's.. actually a really reasonable way to prevent QT harassment.

I guess the greater number of Palestinians killed and wounded by Israeli strikes in the 3rd paragraph aren't really important enough to warrant being mentioned in the headline.

Headline: More than 200 killed, 1,100 wounded in Hamas attack on Israel, rescue service says

Article body including: At least 232 people in the Gaza Strip have been killed and at least 1,700 wounded in Israeli strikes, the Palestinian Health Ministry said.

I wish I had more of a chance to frame this photo of a hoard of cyclists taking over the road because the bike path was closed but it was unexpected so this will have to do.
