I’m sitting beside my canoe having a drink and a smoke while I play with you. My cat had a two thousand dollar surgery today. She will be ok. My wife is also doing fine.
Gosh I hope so.

‘Theory of mind’ is a useful concept to understand the spread between left and right.
The left has one.
Pro-tip: Theory usually means a well established statement of facts that have been researched and argued and confirmed already. Theory is not a trendy guess or speculation about the world.

Dear Bluesky Americans:
If everywhere you go, you smell dogshit, it is time to look at your shoes.
Kill your televisions.
Stop playing computer games.
Banish religion.
Learn what materialism really means, (it’s not the same as materialistic)
Touch grass.
Please.

Spring is coming and that means you can’t keep making excuses to not go outside.
Please take a break from the technology and the media. Go outside and move around.

I want to make a point about nationalism and jingoism.
That’s it, just by association I think I made a point.
I want to be very cautious that the nationalism of the moment does not activate a much darker path. We already have elements in our society seeking that dark path.

Is this the right place to take back the word #materialist?
A materialist has a worldview about the nature of things and reality. A #materialistic person is somebody who is concerned with value and wealth.
You can be a materialistic materialist, however one doesn’t assume the other.

Don’t know why this isn’t getting more exposure. Especially that it was Harper who made the recommendation.
Mark Carney was awarded The Order of Canada in 2014 under Harper’s recommendation to the GG which is the highest level of distinction. Harper has selective memory when it comes to Carney’s leadership through a global recession.

You know you're Canadian when you've been kicked out of at least one bar for standing on the chair and leading the crowd in a great anthem about stealing yankee gold.

It has become clear to me that right and left are useless concepts to describe politics.
Instead, correlate the level of social development and engagement with others. We start small and reactive. Babies become small people developing identities. Those identities emerge as we engage with others.
