This law is the policy equivalent of the ableist epithet so many of us have heard when accosted for wearing a mask since 2020: "well why don't you just lock yourself in your home if you're so weak and afraid."

The new law is primarily concerned with where you are and whether you are wearing a face covering that conceals your identity. So, if you were within those ten wards that Saturday, the restriction applied to you whether you were shopping, out walking or nowhere near the protest. You might not even have known there was a designation, despite the police being required to take “all reasonable steps” to publicise it.

Corporativismo

Entre hierarquias, poder e pertencimento, Corporativismo observa o momento em que a estrutura deixa de servir ao indivíduo e passa a moldá-lo.

A glowing little lantern on the forest floor! Lovely! The backlit gills fan out like the pleats of a tiny lampshade, warm orange against all that cool dark bark — nature's own night light, doing its best impression of a reading lamp. And that soft green bokeh in the upper corner feels like the forest holding its breath around the scene. What makes it work is the restraint: everything else stays deep in shadow, so this one small mushroom gets to be the only light in the whole frame. Tiny subject, huge presence.

✍️ Com o coração emocionado e cheio de gratidão...

Por toda uma trajetória, por anos de entrega e empréstimo de uma alma, por todos os saltos sem nenhuma rede de segurança, hoje fui surpreendido com uma moção da camarario no plenário Teotônio Vilela.

Do fundo do meu coração, quero externar o meu amor à cidade do Rio de Janeiro que há mais de 20 anos me acolheu, abrindo seus braços para um jovem ator meio perdido que se debruçava sobre fazer artístico no teatro, no cinema e na televisão.

Gratidão ao vereador @bpinaldo, a quem sequer conheço pessoalmente, pelo reconhecimento junto aos demais membros desta casa. Eu, sinceramente, não esperava um honraria dessas pelo empréstimo de minha alma para dar vida a outras vidas que, por fim, tocaram o público em algum lugar.

Eu, mero servidor de humanidade, agradeço ao reconhecimento de uma vida dedicada ao teatro, ao cinema e à televisão brasileira.

De minha parte é importante ressaltar que nada fazemos sozinhos. E, se fiz algo de valor, foi porque outros fizeram antes de mim. A minha parte foi e sempre é simplesmente "servir humanidade" seja nas telas, nos palcos ou na escrita dramatúrgica e cinematográfica.

Gratidão infinita pelo carinho e reconhecimento de 26 anos de trabalho.

My wife and I have rented a cottage in Norway, not far from Bergen, where we spend a part of our vacation. This area is close to fjords, green and hilly. There is no spectacular waterfalls here, but the landscape is nice, but a bit hard to capture with the camera.

Genetic shifts in wastewater may reveal rises and falls in COVID-19 transmission medicalxpress.com/news/2026-05…

"Not only do infections rise when diversity of the virus increases, infections decline as diversity declines... We tested three different ways to measure diversity of the virus genome in wastewater, and all three measures predicted infections with extremely high statistical power."

Since there's a bunch of ignorance being thrown around, TeamSports™-style:

Nukit and the CyberNightMarket are indeed legit entities. They've done as much as anyone in the clean air space in recent years and more than most. The Tempest design is based on this open source project and has been available for years: github.com/opennukit/Nukit-Ope…

The PC fan design for air cleaners was a collaborative effort that many people iterated on starting in like 2021/22. There are several legit entities developing and selling their own versions of it. No one selling it came up with it themselves.

ACEP-CAPE sent this to the Office of the Auditor General of Canada on April 30, 2026

Submission on behalf of the Canadian Association of Professional Employees’ Disability Justice Caucus
Canada is experiencing a mass disabling event driven in large part by the ongoing transmission of COVID-19 and other communicable diseases. Disability rates are rising according to data from Statistics Canada, and scientific guidance from the Office of the Chief Science Advisor of Canada has documented the long-term impacts of post-COVID conditions on cognitive, cardiovascular, and functional health. COVID-19 remains a leading cause of death in Canada and contributes to the conditions that drive the two leading causes of mortality, including cardiovascular disease. These realities shape the accessibility needs of the workforce and cannot be ignored in any serious assessment of workplace accessibility...

🔗 Why the WHO respirator revolt could reshape global health governance

At stake is not merely the technical distinction between a loose fitting medical mask and a respirator certified to FFP2 or FFP3 standards in the United Kingdom or N95 standards in the United States. At stake is whether health systems have been knowingly deploying substandard protective equipment in environments where exposure to lethal airborne disease is foreseeable, continuous and unavoidable.

Under international labour law, this question is already answered.

I wish them well pushing that through.

I think a big part is that for a long while, they were refusing to acknowledge the elephant in the room … it was cheaper to deflect and focus on hand hygiene (which while a very good idea, won't work on its own). Anyone who said otherwise was ridiculed.

Its taken years to get the medical fraternity to finally accept that things are a little less rosy than they're making out. Not panic level, but with the right tools, manageable. They're finally coming around to the idea that hand-washing won't work here.

I suspect we won't get government health departments moving on this for another 3~5 years… and even then, it'll be a while before they flush their inventory of the crappy ones and finally get decent stuff in.

The silver lining will be that increased demand for decent quality PPE will mean it becomes more widely available.

Unknown parent

@NilaJones James Hardie tried running away overseas to avoid asbestos litigation here in Australia. It's been outlawed for decades now, but lots of places still have it.

The house I live in to this day still has a wall of the stuff, asbestos will have a long legacy.

"Surgical" masks will likely be the same. Some will accept the new situation, and adapt… others will continue to ignore it and pretend it'll "go away".

Elsewhere may be faster to move, but I suspect the current US federal government to be uninterested in fixing the status quo for quite some time.
