I lived thru the end of public smoking. Early in my career I presented to city councils who were smoking, in front of audiences who were smoking.
Smoking in restaurants, airplanes, hospitals…
All of that seems insane now, but it was very controversial when we DID change it.
We CAN change things.

It’s crazy that people used to be able to just smoke cigarettes wherever they wanted

Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 for the first time since records began in 1982. The amazing result of HPV vaccination.

Offline: Is there really a trust crisis in science?
When scientists gather, it is not uncommon for them to lament a decline in the public's
trust of science. The examples are well described: anti-vaccination movements, climate
scepticism, COVID-19 cons...

I worked really hard on this for a very long time and am incredibly proud of it. It’s a long read, but for #Bluejays fans who remember that one swing a decade ago and all the madness that surrounded it, it will be well worth it. Please give it a look!
A controversial call, furious fans and The Bat Flip: An oral history of the game that turned Jose Bautista into a Blue Jays icon
Ten years ago on Oct. 14, the Toronto Blue Jays slugger cemented his icon status with one powerful swing followed by an unforgettable flip of his bat.

So it's dangerous for China to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps.
But it's okay for America's billionaires (and Trump allies) to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps.

If I were editing a column about Charlie Kirk’s political genius, I would tell the writer he needed to quote Kirk’s actual political beliefs. If the writer responded that doing so would weaken or distract from his argument, it’d be a pretty good sign that the column was not ready for prime time.

His validation doesn’t come stamped by the world. It doesn’t need the world’s approval or permission. It doesn’t even need mine. It wells up from somewhere deeper, quieter, immovable, a courage that says: I exist, whether you get it right or not.
