Encouraging to see that @who.int scored the highest level of trust among all tracked intl. institutions in this survey by @rockefellerfdn.bsky.social and @focaldata.bsky.social: bit.ly/4k0FGy0 The findings underscore that people recognize that health security depends on countries working together.

Wow. I've been on mastodon for like 6 years or so and today was the first time I had to block a ragetroll account (created today, zero followers, TRUMP BLAH BLAH BLAH profile).

@admin Do you suppose that some of this traffic could be from browser extensions? There are companies who offer extension developers a path to monitisation via selling their users' networks to proxy stuff. Of course, it could also be services. I could contact FSIT if you like to report it.

Just saw a post mocking the US measurement system (always valid) and it jumped out at me that it goes inches - feet - yards - miles but no one ever actually talks about how many yards in a mile. Yards are only used for football fields and fabric. Huh. #measurement #showerthoughts

Canadian Subject Headings
Library and Archives Canada (LAC) last week announced
the addition of a new Canadian Subject Heading (CSH) for
Lake Ontario to replace the Library of Congress’ updated
subject heading for the lake.
LAC will cease assigning the LCSH term and will instead
assign the CSH “Ontario, Lake (N.Y. and Ont.)” in
bibliographic and authority records moving forward.

Pandemic prevention, preparedness and response is not just an aspiration. It is a global public good. My one ask to world leaders at the #UNGA High-Level Meeting: get the Pathogen Access and Benefit Sharing annex to the Pandemic Agreement done. As soon as possible.

Hey everyone, just thought you should know that Saskatchewan is beautiful.

A bright yellow tree next to a bright blue lake under the blue sky. There's a beaver lodge behind the yellow tree at the mouth of a river into the lake. There is a hill in the background that has mostly green trees, but a few yellow ones.

A view down into a beautiful valley with a big fenced-off grassy pasture surrounded by woods with a few yellow trees but mostly green. The sky has a few clouds but is mostly blue.

Looking up a pathway leading into yellow trees, with the blue sky above

Several bright yellow trees contrasting beautifully with the stunningly clear blue sky behind.

RE: mastodon.social/@dansup/11729719655… Many fediverse stats services just trust stats, but FediDB uses some not so clever algorithms to determine if a server is reporting suspicious data, and just rejects it until a human can manage it (with discord notifs)
