@weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social So, the journey from appreciated justice advocate to callous asshole can be remarkably short. While miller was always a minimizer asshole, how easily he cowed Jon and @jonfavs.bsky.social into joining in ostracizing of the covid vulnerable was, well, disappointing.

Social media in 2025 is such an egregiously one-sided version of “social” that unfortunately tends to mimic offline life in many ways. Kinda almost totally over it. Long-form is where it’s at. At least I learn something.

Anyone else here dislike when a company subscribes you to daily marketing emails just for signing up to something (but not email), THEN decides one day to take everyone and ALSO subscribe them to a Substack? Fun. (Also, anyone else report the hell out of this and unsub/kill accounts at this point?)

So techbros stole the core IP for these models from all of us, sold things it isn't (not even in the realm of possibility for AGI), money going in circles inflating a bubble much larger than subprime and .com ... and will probably get bailout "too big to fail". So all of us get to pay for it again.

Excellent thread. Right to the end. I was also forced to leave work I *loved* in 2020 because of society's refusal to protect. It is absolutely ridiculous how universally this has been swept under the rug despite concrete evidence of the harm this is doing to everyone's bodies.

It's not like we were born with an innate understanding of N95 masks and airborne transmission. Many of us put in the intellectual effort to understand it, starting in 2020. You don't need a medical degree to understand this stuff. It has been explained, and explained, and explained.

Incorrect data about transmission, and bare faced posing for respiratory vaccination in the middle of a wave. From the B.C. Health Minister. But at this point I would be substantially more surprised by accurate information and modeling community care. (1/2) read on for accurate info.
Josie Osborne’s facebook post with text that reads This is the time of year when we see increases in viral respiratory illnesses in B.C., including influenza and COVID-19. Getting a vaccination is one of the simplest and most effective ways we can look out for ourselves and our loved ones.
Notifications began for priority populations earlier this month, and appointments started Oct. 14, 2025. Notifications will continue and expand to the general population through early November 2025.
Notifications to book influenza and COVID-19 vaccinations are being sent through the Get Vaccinated system. Anyone not yet registered in the Get Vaccinated system can register online or by calling 1 833 838-2323.
Vaccines are available through health authority clinics, more than 1,200 participating pharmacies and some primary-care providers' offices.
It is also important to remember healthy habits to protect ourselves and those around us, including:
da cleaning your hands regularly @ covering your cough
Getting plenty of rest
@ staying away from others if you have a cough or a fever
• wearing a mask if you have lingering symptoms or need extra protection
Learn more about B.C!'s immunization program and how to vaccinated this fall - Team Josie

Update on this story: The Canadian Broadcasting Standards Council has issued a statement announcing it can no longer accept emails about CTV Your Morning and Rachel Gilmore due to receiving a “large number of complaints” www.cbsc.ca/make-a-compl...
MAKE A COMPLAINT

As a result, no further complaints will be accepted by the CBSC on this issue.
