    👀 yikes! Maybe knowledge doesn&#39;t safeguard us from misinfo? &quot;Recently, a team … set out to test how the &#39;illusion of truth effect&#39; interacts with our prior knowledge. Would it affect our existing knowledge? They used paired true and un-true statements, but also split their items according to how likely participants were to know the truth … Their results … suggest that prior knowledge won’t prevent repetition from swaying our judgements of plausibility.&quot; https://mstdn.fna...

    😡 In case you don&#39;t get it … this jerk negates the whole purpose of that parking setup. People using mobility devices would be foiled by this asshat, as there is not room for them to get out of their vehicle and into their, say, wheelchair or scooter. #RUDE and mean.

    In my inbox, from #toronto mayor Olivia Chow: &quot;With the airport expansion no longer moving forward, I have submitted an urgent motion to City Council with Deputy Mayor Ausma Malik to demand that the Province return the City’s land at Little Norway Park and Toronto Islands (including Hanlan’s Point Beach). This land belongs to the people of Toronto.&quot; 🎉 #TOpoli #ONpoli #cdnPoli #cdnPolitics

    Do consider: might different working agreements for extreme heat days keep your team safer, more sustainable? &quot;Extreme heat increases the risk of workplace injuries across Canada: Today in The Conversation Canada, Nick Turner from U. of Calgary, &amp; Julian Barling &amp; Kaylee Somerville from Queen’s U., examine how heat affects workers’ attention, judgment, balance and reaction time.

    It&#39;s particulary viscious, that the *government* want to *impose* testosterone testing and supplementation, to make military men more &#39;manly&#39;. Consent is not just for women.

    @Cassandra@ottawa.place fyi I cleaned up this photo of my own poster, and made another version of it, with space to write in your own topic. I like @vlrny@disabled.social&#39;s postcard idea, and I&#39;ll make up some postcards with the blank version, and use them to harass my MP and the PM, since postage is free to parliament. Feel free to join me.

    &quot;in Ottawa, the federal gov&#39;t is rolling back Canada&#39;s climate commitments … [saying] with everything our country is facing, this is what it takes to become strong and self-reliant.  My message is this: 👉 You cannot build a stronger country on the ashes of its communities. Resilience doesn&#39;t mean looking away from reality. … I refuse to accept that we have to choose between a strong Canada and a safe one.&quot; - Marit Styles, leader of the Ontario NDP https://youtu.be/lt...

    Only 11 AM and already 37°c in #Toronto. (With humidity, feels like 43°c !) I was heading to the post office, but … nah. Will do it once the sun starts setting.

    &quot;Billy Bishop expansion could threaten #Toronto’s $3B harbour cleanup … longer runway could trap pollutants and undermine multibillion-dollar project to keep sewage out of Lake Ontario … having more pollutants in more stagnant water could increase the risk of disease spreading through birds or the air. … The Ford gov&#39;t plans to designate the area a “special economic zone,” which would exempt the project from … policies in a bid to speed up development.&quot; https://www.torontotoday...

    You know, I&#39;m not sure I&#39;d have enjoyed my re-watch of #StarTrek Voyager nearly as much, 10 years ago. But now, with all I&#39;ve learned about trauma, identity, consent, and psychology in general - and given the insane times we live in (war) - there are so many resonant themes explored. And I love how episodes often end without &quot;resolving&quot; a key ethical or moral question. Tho&#39;, in there with all the empowered-women storylines, there&#39;s still Roddenberry&#39;s weird...
