In video games, you will often find a fully roasted chicken abandoned on the ground, and eating it extremely quickly makes you feel better. What's less known is that this is also true in real life

It’s 2025 and correlation is now causation*

*except for climate change, for which no amount of evidence is ever enough

There is a controversial study from 2015 that correlated circumcision with higher instances of autism -- I don't have the scientific literacy to evaluate the responses to it -- but the Tylenol part seems purely invented.

RFK JR: There are many other confirmations -- there are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It’s highly likely because they are given Tylenol

Looks like Norway awards the one that Trump cares about.

In 1905 the Union between Sweden and Norway was dissolved which meant the responsibility for awarding Nobel Prizes was split between the two countries. Norway's Nobel Committee became the awarder of the Peace Prize while Sweden became the awarder of the other prizes.

He’s certainly stirred up Halifax bike users, does that count? Like a certain American politician taking credit for getting Carney elected? #BikeHfx

I made the mistake of driving to the Bayers Rd area from the south end today, reasoning that there’s no way traffic would be nuts at 1 pm on a Thursday. Nope. Biking next time
