This was fascinating, especially the parts about research funding. Let’s some the government is listening and starts building instead of more austerity 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

What I liked about this conversation is that it gave a much fuller sense than anything else I’ve come across of what nation building might actually look like if that was something we were serious about right now.

It tells me that members are agitated and not seeing the full strike as helpful. It's also possible that its an olive branch to Canada Post for some movement on their side.

I guess if you don’t know dick about shit you could think Johnny Cash seems “deeply uncool” but anyway glad newborn babies are getting to write opinion columns, good for those lil cuties

Compared to Dylan and Springsteen, country-music legend Johnny Cash can seem deeply uncool. It took time for me to appreciate his profound, plainspoken strength, writes Jon Fasman.

we are governed by people who are variously losing their mental faculties, driven to madness by the computer, or extremely stupid if not some combination of the three and at some point something's gotta give

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

Please everyone buy my latest book which is all about this problem and how we can fix it. It has, of course, been ignored by the mainstream press.

I’ve been putting it off because I “don’t have time,” but that’s never going to change so thanks to @anotherstoryto.bsky.social I finally picked up 2 books in @nolore.bsky.social ‘s in Canada in Decline series

For the next half hour I will caffeinate and be horrified by what I read (complimentary).

A latte and books one and two of Nora Loreto’s Canada in Decline series.
