Is he dead yet? 🇨🇦

Two words emerged at the start of the pandemic: "unprecedented" and "upended." I dread to think what words will emerge to describe the present state of affairs:

Brands love telling you that they made the packaging smaller but there's the same amount of stuff inside, like that's not an admission that they were trying to scam you with the old packaging before.

The only folks trying to impose religious law on the US are Christian extremists like Mike Johnson.

It really is in the Liberal's court now. Will MPs give in cuz they enjoy taking Porter to Ottawa?

Countries can invoke caveats--exceptions to cooperating with allies--for all kinds of reasons. Dodging complicity in war criming is one reason such caveats exist.

Elites Aren't Much Savvier Than MAGA They're both easy marks for Donald Trump.

B.C.’s switch to permanent DST adds to the ‘perfect storm’ for poorer adolescent sleep and mental health The adoption of permanent DST in B.C. raises significant concerns about social jetlag and long-term health impacts, especially for young people.

“Scientific evidence indicates that permanent DST results in a chronic mismatch between people’s daily clock-based schedules and their internal biological clock.” theconversation.com/b-c-s-switch...

If you set the clock back to 1990, the proportion of the world in extreme poverty was 4 to 5 times higher than today. The stalling of that progress — the final-mile problem — coincides with a stalling and reversal in the spread of democracy and in the liberalization of economies

I don't think most people grasp the insane amount of resources that the US allocates to weapons and war machines. The list of better things we could do with the military budget is nearly endless.

FDA finds little evidence that a generic drug could help many people with autism The FDA is approving a generic drug for a very rare genetic disorder, but not for autism. On Tuesday, the U.S. agency said the drug helps children and adults who cannot get enough folate into the brain.

The FDA approved a generic medication for a rare brain disorder, while walking back suggestions by President Donald Trump and other administration officials that the drug showed great promise for people with autism.
