📱 Digital health is shifting power to patients: ~40–45% of US adults use health apps and ~1/3 wear trackers. Health systems are feeding this data into AI, telehealth and remote monitoring—but without better connectivity and device access, a new digital divide could grow

🚚 Earlier this year, WHO’s Dubai emergency hub briefly went dark because of the Middle East war—blocking over US$18m in medical supplies and delaying polio lab kits and essential drugs for multiple crises.

🛳️ A deadly hantavirus cluster has been linked to the MV Hondius cruise ship. WHO reports 8 cases, 6 confirmed Andes‑strain infections and 3 deaths, with one patient still in ICU. Risk to the public is rated low—but it’s a warning about how travel can move rare zoonotic threats

Trump’s “Great Healthcare Plan” promises lower drug prices, but nicotine policy is shifting toward industry. Flavoured vapes and strong nicotine pouches are staying on shelves, a big win for Big Tobacco and a risk for youth. #Vaping #BigTobacco

🎗️ Global cancer is surging: ~18.5M new cases and 10M deaths in 2023, projected to exceed 30M cases a year by 2050. About 4 in 10 cancer deaths are tied to preventable risks like smoking, poor diet and obesity—and HPV vaccination (even single‑dose) is already cutting cervical precancers.

🌡️ New research warns of a “creeping catastrophe” as climate change, poverty and antimicrobial resistance drive a global rise in malaria, dengue, TB and HIV—especially in fragile health systems hammered by extreme weather and underfunding. #ClimateHealth #InfectiousDiseases #AMR

🔍 In 2021, USPSTF lowered the start age for colorectal cancer screening from 50 to 45—instantly making ~20M Americans 45–49 “overdue” for screening.

🇺🇸🇳🇬 The new 5‑year US–Nigeria health MoU promises US$2.1B in US grants plus ~US$3B in Nigerian co‑financing for health security, primary care and digital health—but concerns remain over transparency, religious framing and how tightly it’s tied to US politics.

🟣 One year after the US froze foreign aid, HIV care across Africa is in retreat: clinics closing, PEPFAR staff laid off, key prevention services cut. UNAIDS warns of up to 6.3M extra AIDS deaths in the next four years. #HIV #GlobalHealth

🌍 WHO has launched a ~US$1B appeal to support health care in 36 of the world’s worst emergencies, aiming to reach 239M people facing conflict, climate shocks and outbreaks—from Gaza and Sudan to Afghanistan and Yemen. #WHO #HealthEmergencies #HumanitarianCrisis

Screen writing script works great👍 This is why I wanted some of the extra stuff back in. This is way more interesting than just hitting a button in another room to open a door 😆 I moved the screen over to the prior room just to show it #pixelart #indiegames #indiedev

I know a crook like Trump when I see one. I started an organization to impeach him in 2017, when most Democrats were preaching "norms" and "civility."

From the developer of GIGABUSTER comes DRAGUN, a stylish run & gun platformer that looks so good! Do you agree?

None of this should be happening right now. We need to force our elected officials to open the fucking boxes. This isn't about changing what's already happening, this is about securing the future. This is about letting them know that we know what happened. The collaborating evidence is in the boxes

If you hate Israel or Jewish people please do me a huge favor and fuck off. That also includes all you idiots who think we are bombing the shit out of Iran just because Israel said so. I really don’t care how many of you unfollow me. I am tired of hearing this nonsense. Sincerely fuck off.

Early one morning during Ramadan, Sahara and her family had to flee their home. Amid airstrikes, they sought safety in Beirut, in a school turned into a makeshift shelter. There, they received vital support from local organizations. Her story: https://bit.ly/3PP05cA

"A lot of these [Project 2025] authors came from the first Trump administration," said @dgraham.bsky.social. "So their idea was to put together this vision for sort of maximalist executive power. ... To establish a very socially conservative vision of America."

Professor Andrea Lawlor explains to PROC why it is a problem that MPs have left political parties and the personal data they have on Canadians exempt from privacy law & how bill C-25 does alarmingly little to safeguard voters' data & prevent privacy breaches

Not helped by the refusal of people to use the correct terminology ... "masks" are not required, ≥FFP2 respirators are what is required. Spell it out. Show & Tell. Name & Normalise. No False Equivalence. #Wear≥FFP2RespiratorsNotMasks, they're really easy ...

78 years ago today, 750,000 Palestinians were expelled during the Nakba (Palestinian Catastrophe in 1948). This is dedicated to the memory of those who were displaced, to those who were lost, and to the resistance that never stopped. We honor their struggle. We carry their story.
