Science is hard. You gotta prove it, test it, and reproduce the results.
Pseudoscience is easy. You make it up, add some fear, and watch ignorant people spread it.

It’s disappointing to see Liberals interfere once again in the bargaining process by ordering a vote of CUPW membership. This undermines the union and sends a message to management that delay is rewarded. Free collective bargaining is a core right in a democracy.
Respect it.

People in the Tesla Cybertruck Owners group are writing to their congressman asking for 'attacks' on Tesla owners to be classified as hate crimes:

With all the hate going on against Tesla's now, I decided to write our Congressman. I highly encourage all of you do the same. Just in the news today, they burnt down an entire charging station in Boston, Massachusetts, and it seems that many of the Bay Area Tesla Service Centers are being infiltrated with protestors daily (vandalising brand new Tesla's, and harassing customers). Here is what I wrote: Subject: Addressing Harassment and Violence Against Tesla Owners Dear Congressman Garamendi, I am writing to seek your assistance in addressing the growing harassment, hostility, and violence directed toward Tesla owners across California and the United States. You may be aware of the increasing incidents involving vandalism, road rage, and targeted aggression toward individuals simply because they own and drive a Tesla. As both a concerned citizen and a 24-year retired military veteran, I find it deeply troubling that owning an American-made vehicle has made me—and many others—a target for unjustified hostility. I have personally experienced multiple alarming incidents. On one occasion, while driving on I-80, another driver deliberately attempted to run me off the road. In another unsettling encounter, while washing my car in my own driveway, a stranger drove up, hurled insults at me, and then left while running stops signs. Reviewing my HOA security footage, I confirmed that this individual had never been in my neighborhood before, making it clear that I was specifically targeted. Beyond my personal experiences, I am a member of several Tesla owner forums where widespread reports of similar attacks are being shared. Owners are facing physical threats, vandalism, and intimidation simply because of their vehicle choice. Reports in the media highlight incidents of Tesla charging stations being burned, Tesla service centers being vandalized, and Tesla vehicles being spray-painted or otherwise damaged. Unfortunately, law enforcement often has limited ability to h…

This series broke me.

It's 1988, and Dexter Mayhew and Emma Morley have only just met. They both know that the next day, after college graduation, they must go their separate ways. But after only one day together, they cannot stop thinking about one another. #Netflix #onetowatch #series #oneday
|| S E R I E S || It's 1988, and Dexter Mayhew and Emma Morley have only just met. They both know that the next day, after college graduation, they must go their separate ways. But after only one day together, they cannot stop thinking about one another. As the years go by, Dex and Em begin to lead separate lives very different from the people they once dreamed they'd become. And yet, unable to let go of that special something that grabbed onto them that first night, an extraordinary relationship develops between the two. Over 20 years, snapshots of that relationship are revealed on the same day, July 15th, of each year. Dex and Em face squabbles and fights, hopes and missed opportunities, laughter and tears. And, as the true meaning of this one crucial day is revealed, they must come to grips with the nature of love and life itself. One day captured the spirit of love, life, heartbreak, the enuui and challenges of life. The character of this series are engaging, the story captivating, the acting sublime and the music will bring you back to those years. This 14-episode format is perfect to convey all there was to convey, not too long not too short, not too fast not too slow. All over a perfect dosage of what we rarely find in movies and series nowadays: difficult topics, events and feelings addressed with elegance and grace. Just watch it and enjoy. || S E R I E S || It's 1988, and Dexter Mayhew and Emma Morley have only just met.

This is a no-brainer: a Granny who wants to volunteer at a school lunch program has to get a security clearance.
And yet Pierre Poilievre who lives in a 19-room mansion funded by the taxpayer refuses or can't get a security clearance.
Something stinks here.

Such a good point by Tressie McMillan Cottom. If preening billionaires like Musk, Trump, and Ramaswamy who revel in their performative obnoxiousness crash the economy or slash Social Security or Medicare, then that populist rage they’ve stoked might come back to bite them.
McMillan Cottom: I thought about how we have an economy with perverse incentives and impact. If billionaires and C.E.O.s want to enjoy the spoils of power, visibility and access in our celebrity culture, they have to understand that they are in essence a public entity — a stand-in for industry but also for politics. I make this point because the moralizing about the public response to the killing conflates a personal dimension of this story - a murder and the fallout for the victim's family — with the public dimension, about industries that affect and control our lives, our futures, our pain. A family lost their kin and a community lost a member. That is a personal tragedy. At the same time, a public actor was presumably targeted because he had a tremendous amount of power over people's well-being. The system has to make a profit and, in doing so, the system victimizes a lot of people.

Many of us are echoing @timothysnyder.bsky.social's lesson in On Tyranny, "Do not obey in advance.”

A no less vital admonition that deserves attn:

STAND OUT

“...without that unease, there is no freedom. The moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow."
