ah yes, the annual discussion about how it would be "impossible" to keep the Commanda pedestrian bridge open during winter for liability and maintenance risk reasons
people also told me that was true about the Jacques Cartier pedestrian path in Montreal, then they did a pilot and the sky didn't fall

also I don't think many Americans view as "real foreigners," but rather people who live in some alternate universe America
(which is why some do not seem to get that we might also be equally afraid of ICE as compared to someone with an obvious "foreign accent")

We only exist as a caricature to them. Some random combination of blue state, health care, hockey masks, and wildlife. Ignorance pervades because we don't matter to their argument or their constituency. We only need to serve as strawman in their next red vs blue argument.

the two solitudes is really that francophones think the dîner/souper debate is unique but anglophones also have this colonial confusion around dinner/supper and whether this refers to a temporal meal or a size meal

there's also a prominent celiac paper author who tends to publish minimizer papers (you can share a toaster!) who has a diploma in holistic nutrition (a strip mall career college scam degree mostly 🤷♀️)
The lead author on all the SEGM reviews of trans health is a “hypnotherapist and Reiki Master.”

This so much!
Parents (usually mothers) in car-centric areas are forced to chauffeur their kids around. It also means they emphasize predictable, scheduled activities (like sports leagues) that cost money.
Youth mobility gives kids freedom, saves money, and reduces the unpaid-labor burden on women

I survived (barely 😅🥶). Someone felt so sorry for me that they offered me their coat off their back (should have said yes but I am stubborn!)

I think this one is a winner. Maybe I'm being overly optimistic but I think even kids in elementary school would probably propose something more appropriate.
IMO the study where aerosols were “caught” in ziplock bags is also a contender.

There are some legit concerns about "TUE doping" (which aren't new or specific to trans athletes... see longstanding controversies about asthma inhaler & thyroid med use!), but this seems like it could be easily addressed by developing some dosing regs instead of denying TUE use outright.
Changed rules will shut a trans bodybuilder out of competition, after a Canadian organization changed its rules to follow an American sports body's policy. thetyee.ca/News/2025/11...

the rate of doping in MMA is also really high
while doping isn't the same kind of moral failing as being a neo Nazi, it does fit within a sport that seems (to me) to be a bit of a chauvinistic fantasy (i.e. doping as much about performance as aesthetic), which is often a pipeline for this ideology.

So, I think the clapback this article is getting is good. The hill I will die on is that it is not responsible journalism to heap accolades on "youth prodigies," whether that's due to academic accomplishments (going to university as a child), or sports (winning lots/impressive performances).

not to pile on but this reminds of these two girls (sisters? bffs?) who were a few years older than me in HS. Everyone called them the "orange twins" because of a similarly unfortunate use of poorly matched caked on foundation/bronzer.
I wonder if anyone ever told them it looked bad.
