Human Being
but when people use the words humane or inhumane to describe our species behaviour sometimes it reminds me of a line from the movie ‘The Princess Bride’ “I do not think that word means what you think it means.”

The description in my Bluesky bio which referenced the wonderful movie The Princess Bride, and the point I was making about our so-called ‘humanity’ , I posted long before it was so cruelly and tragically demonstrated in connection with it.

Creating content to align with character restraints endorses the use of improper grammar, punctuation, and spelling, as well as the overuse of abbreviations and emojis. Whenever I see examples of this, and even more so when I feel compelled to write this way myself, the nerdy part of my soul weeps…

Unfortunate that the very common survival instinct of a FREEZE response is virtually ignored in trauma reaction dialogue simply because it doesn’t rhyme with “FIGHT or FLIGHT” 🙄

As much as I loathe to draw attention to the National Post, I think it's important to keep an eye on what they're up to. In this case, it's writing a piece that can be summed up with, "The stupid libs keep fear mongering about their bodily rights being taken away. Here's why we should do that."

There's too much in the piece to criticize in little 300 character posts, but it's a perfect encapsulation of the slow, creeping American insidiousness of this publication and we shouldn't turn away from it!

As an expert in labour exploitation and modern slavery in supply chains, I believe universities and colleges have a responsibility to ensure workers have decent working conditions.

So frustrating that the line gets blurred between opinion writers & actual news reporters under the label “journalism”. Genuine news reporting uses investigative skills & provides unbiased factual information. Opinion writers just need enough ego to think their opinion is more important than others.

I’m assuming you don’t observe Remembrance Day - since you discount all Canadian soldiers who ever fought bravely and honourably. Sad to see how many “good people” praise your work. They should be ashamed and so should you. The ignorant opinions you express are a poison to all Canadians. Disgusting

The far right radicalization of young men is a serious issue. Fanning male rage was a big part of the MAGA movement and is part of the game plan on the Polievre Conservatives.
In my latest piece I discuss the toxic impacts on schools and democracy.
