A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Apparently today is Blue Monday, but in reality that isn’t true; colours don’t care what day it is, and any day can be blue; put the kettle on and paint the day any colour you want to.

Weekly tradition time: finding some joy no matter how small, no matter how hard.
Tell me something good.
What good thing happened in your life this week?
Found your calling or found a dollar in the dryer, both work. Just something good.

Look, we don't like officially being more trustworthy than the CDC at this point. That's not really our bag, y'know?
But please, for the love of real science, continue to vaccinate your children.

Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.
I'm so tired of measles.
I'm also tired of people using needle shots on stories like this.

This was always coming, sooner or later, and now it’s come sooner.
Time for 🇨🇦Canada to batten down the hatches and prepare to endure the hardships of adjusting over a long timeline to the presence of a neofascist neighbour with whom we can no longer reliably do business.

Once more for the people in the back:
📢 train networks are nation-building!!
Instead of pipelines, carney should be focusing on high speed rail networks for people & goods

I know I’ve said this more than once, and I know it’s really obvious, but taking the train between cities in Europe is just fantastic. So easy.
One of the dumbest mistakes North America ever made, and continues to make, is doing so relatively little with trains. Train networks are nation-building.

It’s also really great because they have the most amazing technology anyone could ever ask for in the holodeck, they use it, but then they’ll also show up for their robot’s cat poetry night because they realize it’s important to be present with those you love and that technology isn’t a substitute

Just block the bad accounts. Do it right away. Don't share or dunk or comment or argue. That's what they all want. Just nuke them and move on.

I think we should establish an understanding in the United States that if you order the military to carry out a lethal strike against something that is not an imminent threat without congressional authorization, what you did was murder and the entire chain of command is guilty.
