“RSS is simple and versatile. It's the backbone of podcasts (though Apple and Spotify have done their best to kill it, along with public broadcasters like the BBC, all of whom want you to switch to proprietary apps that spy on you and control you). It's how many automated processes communicate with one another, untouched by human hands. But above all, it's a way to find out when something new has been published on the web”

“fraudulent studies are now appearing at a faster rate than legitimate scientific publications. The authors say the findings should serve as a warning to the scientific community to strengthen safeguards before public trust in science begins to erode”

“The NDP Opposition has been calling for the province to declare an epidemic for some time, arguing that doing so would mean higher government accountability.”
Accountability is not in the SaskParty vocabulary.

“But an even more important application of critical thinking is recognizing when you’re wrong, or when you, yourself, don’t know what you’re talking about…
So you need to confront yourself, challenge yourself.”
Wise words.

“horses produce sounds at two frequencies in two distinct ways in their larynx, or voice box. A low-frequency sound of about 200 hertz is produced by vibrating the vocal cords, just as we do while singing. And a high-frequency sound of more than 1,000 hertz is produced by whistling within the larynx.”

“Celebrity doctor Daniel Amen wants psychiatrists to use SPECT scans of the brain to help diagnose and treat psychiatric conditions. - This application of SPECT scans has never been validated with a rigorous clinical trial, and Dr. Amen is not interested in conducting one”
A grifter that PBS should stop amplifying.

“That Canada they knew is not gone; it just got more inclusive and welcoming. Rather than adapt to change, separatists want to live in the past”
“The fringe is just yelling louder than the majority…I do worry what they will whisper in Danielle Smith’s ear next”
Absolutely right on.

Got to wonder if SaskPolytech is in serious financial trouble. Provincial support for post secondary education has always been tepid. Federal restrictions to foreign students also a factor. Ridiculous treatment of current students.
