Congratulations María Corina Machado 💪

Lessons on dying well from the father of palliative care. The best way to honour Dr. Balfour Mount’s legacy is by making palliative care available to all Canadians, by @picardonhealth.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti... via @theglobeandmail.com

Whether they're blaming vaccines and Tylenol, or selling dubious "remedies," what they're really doing is promoting the perception that families (and especially mothers) can prevent and treat Autism. And thus also the perception that people with Autism and their families don't need social support.

Very proud of this rising star who shows true commitment to excellence, amplifies patient voices, and works alongside them every step of the way @ulaval.ca @crchudequebec.bsky.social

I think Ketanji Brown Jackson's dissents are an important exception to the "Supreme Court dissents don't matter" rule of thumb, because she is using them not to argue with the conservative justices, but to explain to the public that the conservative justices are liars and in the tank for Trump

Novelist Barbara Kingsolver has given much of her income away, including spending proceeds from Demon Copperhead on a recovery home for those affected by the opioid epidemic: “Material success came gradually. So I had time to learn how to draw a cap on what we need & what we can do with the rest”

A man stirs the pot. “It’s a metaphor,” he says.

The frog is sweating.

The frog is informed that this is due to a natural variation in temperature.

“He’s clearly boiling the frog,” say the other frogs.

All books about frogs have vanished from the library.

So, moral of the story: if you want your kids to learn to think critically about the world, model that kind of critical thinking for them (don't wait until after bedtime to talk politics), help them find reliable information to consume, and encourage them to reflect critically on what they learn.

“I cannot believe that the purpose of life is to be happy. I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to be honourable, to be compassionate. It is above all to matter. To count. To stand for something. To have it make some difference that you lived at all.”
- Leo Roston

Good piece, from my perspectives in #bioethics & as a #raredisease patient:
"Never-words are conversation stoppers.
They seize power from the very patients whose own voices are essential to making optimal decisions about their medical care."

Sesame Street had him pegged back in 1988.

Carney to Trump: "There are some places that are never for sale ... having met with the owners of Canada over the course of the campaign, it's not for sale. It won't be for sale ever."

Message from Ukraine:
Thank you, Canada.
For being yourselves when so many others are trying to be worse.
You reminded us that we are not alone.
Because of you, this morning felt a little less like the end of the world.
And more like something worth staying alive for.

Toxicologist here! This will improve the health of zero Americans. Current synthetic food dyes are not causing health problems, and are often times used because they are actually safer than natural food dyes. Reminder that guns are the #1 cause of death of children but we are going to ban food dyes.
