Christmas is too much work.
Tomorrow, Boxing Day, is the REAL best day of the year—a day for relaxing in a cozy place, reading and playing and building new things, eating leftovers…and not doing too much at all.
Perfection.

Gotta say this prediction went VERY well
Can’t wait for the traditional holiday message from the president in which he wishes Merry Christmas to everyone, even the scum-sucking Democrats who hate the country etc etc etc

Glad you are safe! Cats save more lives than people know from fires. Growing up, we knew a family of 6 saved from fire by their cat. See also @radiofreetom.bsky.social Tom Nichols' The Cat Who Saved Me (gift article).

This is such a simple message. Why do governments have such a hard time communicating it?
I have a lot of respect for the new mayor of New York. They are giving good advice. Why aren’t Labour doing this? 🤷♀️

Policy on health is clearly broken - politicized, out of touch, reactive and slow. My recent keynote at the Canadian Biosafety Symposium took a big-picture look at how and why that's happening, and how we can turn things around.
Here's a general-audience version, recorded at the Deep River library.

Utterly infuriating! I’m happy to pay that fee to have tires properly recycled—not to increase the profits of the manufacturer while tires pile up, waiting to burn!
The Doug Ford government dropped tire recycling targets, but consumers are still paying eco fees on tires, and there have been job losses for those who used to collect and recycle tires. This is horrible for both the environment and for workers.

Hundreds of thousands of used tires are piling in Ontario. Some industry insiders are sounding the alarm | CBC News
Hundreds of thousands of used tires are piling up in depots, lots and shops across Ontario as some of the companies responsible for tire recycling have stopped collecting, industry experts say.

Imagine being a COVID-minimizing, vax-and-relax, it-doesn't-harm-kids aerosol-denier public health / infection control / peds doc in 2025, looking back at your net contribution to humanity and realizing that the last five years has more than erased every good thing you've done in your entire life.
