Screenshot of an article from the Australian Financial Review. The headline reads: IFM Investors wants to pump $10b into Canada.
These investments will help create thousands of high-paying careers for Canadian workers and unlock important new opportunities for our businesses.

While we sit around to find out how bad exactly it all is, a bit of cheer: the best baguette of Paris competition was won by a Sri Lankan who appears to have started as a dish washer in restaurants and eventually trained as a Boulanger.

suppressing fibroblast activity too early after MI -> not good; suppressing myoFB activity after the early pos-MI phase -> Great! And the benefits lasted for 4 weeks (in mice)!

it appears your manuscript "in preparation" was not published in 2025 after all, mr. bond
While in Chicago, I took a tour around the Obama Presidential Center. I can’t wait for you all to visit in June 2026. Here’s a sneak peek:
Black-and-white photograph of Wilma Rudolph crossing the finish line to win the women’s 4×100 m relay gold for the United States at the 1960 Rome Olympics on September 8, 1960. The 20-year-old Tennessee State Tigerbelle leans forward in full stride, baton raised triumphantly, as she becomes the first American woman to win three track-and-field gold medals in a single Games. The packed Stadio Olimpico blurs behind her in this iconic moment of speed and history.
Smiling portrait of Wilma Rudolph proudly holding up 2 of her 3 gold medals with the 3rd medal worn like a necklace. All 3 from the 1960 Rome Olympics—won in the 100 m, 200 m, and 4×100 m relay.

Rudolph overcame childhood polio to become the fastest woman runner in the world; first American woman to win 3 track/field gold medals in a single Olympiad, Rome 1960.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

Generative A.I., the thing that drives our whole economy right now, is a perfect metaphor for the abject failure of imagination on the part of the powerful. Generative A.I. has no imagination and offers no new insights. It's a mere predictive engine that uses statistics to find the most likely next thing. What's the next word in a sequence, the next pixel in a picture? This is the opposite of imagination, which is so often about finding the least likely thing, the startling incongruity. I worry that so many of us are outsourcing our imaginations and our whole creative selves to these stochastic parrots.
Excellent speech by @charliejane.bsky.social about imagination in service to society. Great stuff.
