Think media plays a role in promoting a visual image of stability and normalcy. And some of that is without thinking second thought. That thought popped into my head as I looked at the crowds at college football games.

Bhattacharya + co wrongly concluded that COVID-19 was 50-85x less dangerous than other estimates due to flaws in design/interpretation of 4/20 Santa Clara serological survey. That error accelerated narrative that COVID-19 was 'just the flu', and continues to reappear implicitly in revisionism.
Warehouses?! In all of the debates about immigration, our politicians seem to forget that 'asylum seekers' are people, women, children, men, young and old, asking for our help. They are not products that need to be warehoused. #TreatThemAsHuman #DignityNotDetention #CompassionNotCages

Some campers about a km up the lake from us left a smouldering fire when they paddled on last week. Thankfully, by the time the plane got here some local cottagers had it under control. I wonder sometimes what makes people just so thoughtless. My home, even me, could be a pile of cinders.
Long after he is gone, we will be left with what we now know about our family members and friends and neighbors; about the people in our churches, about the parents of our children’s friends; about the pillars of our communities, about those we trust to govern, protect, and serve us.

honesty... compared with what Canada is up against in Putin, I don't give a shit about Trump. He's been distraction, all this time. He probably didn't know that though. this is not about Trump. that imminent risk of war also sheds some light on the PM's actions and priorities.

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.

I see a gradual slide underway, a slide toward the tactics of MAGA and Trump. If the remainder of America slides down to that level, then all will be lost. It's hard enough as it is, but devolving all political discussion into mindless smears and jabs from both sides leads to nowhere good.

Jesus fucking christ. The Trump administration tried to send a bunch of children to Guatemala at 3 am and justified it by saying that the kids just wanted to return to their parents in Guatemala, but the kids actually told the court that they are afraid of being sent back to Guatemala.
Notice that Brock called PP Leader. The call for policy assumes they will be governing party sooner than later. The upgrading of existing law to put no liability on the homeowner ignores reasonable force, police response availability and ownership of weapons. Hidden agenda to change Firearms Act

The Trump regime has pulled the US out of the UN Human Rights Universal Process Review. This is chilling. This review happens every 4-5 years for each country in the UN. No country has ever pulled out of the review. Until now. I remember the last time the US had its UPR... 🧵

He’s got traction from the folks that think we need US style gun laws. The fact that he can only cite a 2023 incident where the homeowner was first charged then dropped doesn’t matter. Changing the narrative to firearms are also needed for self defense.

People with stronger malevolent traits may be more comfortable with aggression, dominance, or cruelty and less likely to value fairness or kindness. These tendencies are associated with lower levels of empathy and higher levels of dissonant empathy (enjoyment of others’ pain).
