In Germany, scientists have made a breakthrough in treating Parkinson’s by implanting a chip in the brain that sends precise signals to restore movement. A stunning leap in neuroscience—witness the power of innovation and the beauty of science in action.

I spoke with UN Secretary-General António Guterres today. In this time of rising conflict, Canada is ready to lead.

We will build coalitions, defend democracy, and stand up for our values on the world stage. As others step back from global leadership, Canada is stepping up.

Lessons to learn from US collapse: support local news, support investigative reporting, keep your public broadcasting going.

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

Pierre Poilievre doesn’t talk about men’s biological clocks, sperm counts, or prostate health—because that would be invasive and absurd.

So why is it acceptable for him to comment on women’s reproductive timelines?

It’s not policy. It’s not leadership. It’s misogyny.

I keep telling people not to come.

Do your teaching/seminars remotely.
Unreal: the story of an Australian MMA coach sent to a harrowing detention prison upon arriving in the US with a visa to lead a seminar.

In case you had any doubt if it’s worth the risk of trying to enter the US unless absolutely necessary.

Just watched this author interviewed by Michael Steele (The Bulwark). Very enlightening. It's what John Vervaeke might call "reciprocal narrowing." Very common in authoritarian brains, use of religion to brainwash/gain control/take power over.

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

Do not come here to teach.
Do not come here for conferences.

Do not.
Hey, so I’ve been a higher ed lawyer for well-over a decade, including time as in-house counsel for Harvard.

Please hear me when I say this is very, very bad—and this is only the beginning.

Dealing with a flare-up
Over the last two weeks I've written here and here about painful flare-ups and the little we know about them. This week I'm turning to how to manage them. Firstly, it's difficult to avoid flare-ups. They happen for so many reasons, can be quite unpredictable in terms of duration and intensity, and there are times when people quite literally choose to Do The Thing knowing a flare-up is likely, because The Thing is worth it.
